We work on the assumption that four major specialities or sectors of medical laboratory assays, comprising clinical chemistry, haematology, immunology, and microbiology, embraced by genome sequencing techniques, are routinely in use. Medical laboratory markers for inflammation serve as model: they are allotted to most fields of medical lab assays including genomics. Incessant coding of assays a...

In order to have reliable reference ranges and to minimize the effects of variables such as the procedure of specimen collection, geographical location, dietary habits, life style and possible errors during the performance of tests, it  is recommended that each medical laboratory establish it's own reference values. Idealy, the reference ranges Should be determined by analysis of specimens from...

Conferring a professional degree on a person implies that the person awarded that degree, through his or her education as a student, has attained certain levels of understanding and competency in defined areas of knowledge. A professional degree also implies that the person is qualified to seek a higher level of education, be that a residency training program in medicine, dentistry, or veterina...

Medical physiology laboratories, traditionally devoted to animal experimentation, face unprecedented difficulties linked to cost, staffing, instrumentation, and the use of animals. At the same time, laboratory experiences with living creatures play a unique role in medical education. In this article we describe the use of venipuncture and subsequent blood analysis, with medical students serving...

Performance evaluation of implantable devices is not new to medical device manufacturers, specifically implant manufacturers. A focus on corrosion resistance of implant devices has prompted members of the medical device industry, along with the United States Food and Drug Administration [USFDA] to set forth a guide for performance testing. Although actual corrosion resistance of a material can ...

In Norway there is only one governemental regulating body, who register all health professionals in Norway. In Norway there is also only one legislative Act, which regulate all health professionals and there is one central database, with all registered health professionals in Norway. In Norway there are 29 regulated professions in the health care services, of which the medical laboratory techno...
