Diagnostic Molecular Pathology: Current Techniques and Clinical Applications, Part I

Diagnostic molecular pathology: current techniques and clinical applications, part I.

Diagnostic molecular pathology, part 2: proteomics and clinical applications of molecular diagnostics in hematopathology.

VOLUME 18, NUMBER 16 7 BUMC PROCEEDINGS 2005;18:7–12 Currently, molecular diagnostics plays an important role in the clinical management of a wide array of hematologic neoplasms, solid tumors, infectious diseases, and inherited genetic disorders. In this second part of our series, we conclude our review of esoteric techniques by summarizing some of the advances in the field of “proteomics.” We ...

I-17: Failed Fertilization: from Molecular,Diagnostic and Clinical Perspectives

Low and/or total failed fertilization following ICSI is a disappointing effect that some couples may face during their treatment which may have severe social and economic consequences for these infertile couples. This phenomenon has been mainly attributed to failed oocyte activation post ICSI. Researchers have regarded this failure due to the absence or deficiency of sperm associated to oocyte ...

COVID-19; History, Taxonomy, and Diagnostic Molecular and Immunological Techniques

In recent years, viral epidemics such as the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have spread, and this outbreak is thought to be the result of animal-to-human transmission. Hence, accurate diagnostic tests to detect COVID-19 and antiviral antibodies in infected individuals are of utmost importance. This report describes the structure, history, taxonomy, and molecular and immunological techniques for...

Teleradiology. Part I. History and clinical applications.

James H. Thrall, MD Teleradiology—the ability to obtain images in one location, transmit them over a distance, and view them remotely for diagnostic or consultative purposes—has been explored for nearly 50 years and is part of the more encompassing concept of “telemedicine”—the delivery of health care services over a distance. Major advances in telecommunications and computer systems and advanc...
