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...
Liquid chromatography triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) is ideally suited for the direct and rapid analysis of prepared biological samples. While analysis times can be shortened...
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...
Next-generation sequencing has emerged as a valuable tool for generating patient-specific genetic information for clinical diagnostics and optimal selection of targeted therapies. The heterog...
