Pathology: The study of disease. Pathology has been defined as "that branch of medicine which treats of the essential nature of disease. As a field of general inquiry and research, pathology addresses four components of disease: cause, mechanisms of development (pathogenesis), structural alterations of cells (morphologic changes), and the consequences of changes (clinical manifestations). A pathological condition is one caused by disease, rather than occurring physiologically.
This lecture will provide attendees with the knowledge and skills to bring on new clinical laboratory tests in clinical chemistry and molecular diagnostics. The lecture will provide a general...
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...
