Clinical Diagnostics: The identification of a disease in regards to a patient's complaints based merely on signs, symptoms, and medical history of the patient rather than on laboratory examination or medical imaging.
Aggressive low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering strategies are recommended for prevention of cardiovascular events in high-risk populations. Guidelines recommend a 30-50% redu...
There is agreement among clinicians that laboratory analyses are indispensable for correct diagnosis of disease, therapy, and patient monitoring. It is evident that laboratory data should be...
Drugs of abuse toxicology testing by immunoassays is widely used clinically, but also known to be inadequate for many clinical indications. In this presentation, the speaker will outline diff...
