A complete full-color guide to medical test selection and test result interpretation Laboratory Medicine is an essential text for medical students and residents studying clinical pathology, medical technology students, and for practitioners working in a clinical setting. By selecting the appropriate tests and interpreting the results correctly, physicians using this book should be able to optimize patient outcomes and reduce the cost of achieving a diagnosis. This full-color guide features an easy-to-follow, consistent presentation for each disease discussed. Chapters begin with a brief description of the disorder followed by a discussion that includes tables detailing the laboratory evaluation of specific disorders, and coverage of diagnosis, baseline tests to exclude diagnostic possibilities, and clinical indications that warrant further screening and special testing. •Updated to reflect the most current information•Board review questions appear at the end of each chapter•Approximately 50 laboratory methods presented in easy-to-understand illustrations which include information on the expense and complexity of the assays•More than 200 tables and full-color algorithms encapsulate important information and facilitate understanding•Full-color blood-smear micrographs demonstrate common abnormal morphologies of red blood cells•Valuable learning aids in each chapter, including learning objectives, chapter outlines, and a general introduction•Extensive table of Clinical Laboratory Reference Values showing the conversions between US and SI units for each value•Coverage of genetic test options that are now commonly used in clinical practice

Advances in Cell and Molecular Diagnostics brings the scientific advances in the translation and validation of cellular and molecular discoveries in medicine into the clinical diagnostic setting. It enumerates the description and application of technological advances in the field of cellular and molecular diagnostic medicine, providing an overview of specialized fields, such as biomarker, genetic marker, screening, DNA-profiling, NGS, cytogenetics, transcriptome, cancer biomarkers, prostate specific antigen, and biomarker toxicologies. In addition, it presents novel discoveries and clinical pathologic correlations, including studies in oncology, infectious diseases, inherited diseases, predisposition to disease, and the description or polymorphisms linked to disease states.

Leggendo i vari capitoli non si può che apprezzare il cammino fatto dalla disciplina nella ricerca dell'assicurazione e miglioramento continuo della qualità, nell'interpretazione dei dati, anche attraverso una progressiva evoluzione del concetto dei "valori di riferimento", e nella comunicazione dei risultati anche attraverso l'enorme sviluppo dell'informatica e dei sistemi informatici. Anche il capitolo sul laboratorio d'urgenza rimane di grande importanza, soprattutto per le scelte organizzative e gestionali che oggi possono essere assunte per dare risposte appropriate all'urgenza ed emergenza clinica.

La diagnostica di laboratorio è stata caratterizzata negli ultimi decenni da una rapida evoluzione delle tecniche analitiche e dall'ampia disponibilità di apparecchiature automatizzate che consentono al clinico di ricevere dati di laboratorio con sempre maggiore tempestività e attendibilità. Questo volume tratta gli argomenti fondamentali di biochimica, microbiologia e patologia clinica allo scopo di fornire allo studente un approccio pratico alla comprensione dei meccanismi fisiopatologici e all'utilizzo delle indagini di laboratorio nel percorso diagnostico. Vengono introdotti i concetti generali della richiesta delle indagini di laboratorio e della loro utilizzazione e sono trattati i fondamenti e le applicazioni delle moderne tecniche di diagnostica molecolare. Al fondo di ogni capitolo sono state inserite delle domande di autovalutazione allo scopo di fornire utili indicazioni sul grado di preparazione raggiunto per lo svolgimento dell'esame. Il testo viene incontro alle esigenze degli studenti che desiderano consolidare le nozioni apprese durante le lezioni, approfondire gli argomenti trattati dal docente e preparasi all'esame. L'organizzazione del testo consente inoltre di estendere e personalizzare lo studio a seconda dei propri interessi e della propria curiosità scientifica.

The second edition offers a concise review of all areas of clinical lab science, including the standard areas, such as hematology, chemistry, hemostasis, immunohematology, clinical microbiology, parasitology, urinalysis and more, as well as lab management, lab government regulations, and quality assurance. A companion website offers 35 case studies, an image bank of color images, and a quiz bank with 500 questions in certification format.

Quaderno di laboratorio, il testo "La PCR e le sue varianti" vuole essere un riferimento per quanti si occupano, nella loro attività di laboratorio, di metodi basati sull'amplificazione degli acidi nucleici. Il testo fornisce le basi teoriche della reazione di PCR e delle sue varianti (es. RT-PCR, PCR quantitativa, PCR isotermica) in maniera rapida e concisa e descrive le principali applicazioni utilizzate per l'identificazione genetica e lo studio del polimorfismo genetico in forma di protocollo facilmente consultabile dagli utilizzatori.
