Errors in clinical laboratories or errors in laboratory medicine? Tập 44 Số 6 - 2006
Mario Plebani
AbstractLaboratory testing is a highly complex process and, although laboratory

Abstract The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are
ligand-activated transcription factors belonging to the nuclear hormone receptor

Martina Montagnana, Gianfranco Cervellin, Tiziana Meschi, Giuseppe Lippi
AbstractThe red blood cell (RBC) distribution width (RDW) is a measurement of
the size variation as well as an index of the heterogeneity of the erythrocytes
(i.e., anysocytosis), which is typically used in combination with the mean
corpuscular volume to troubleshoot the cause of an underlying anemia. Reliable
data emerged from a variety of clinical studies have, however, disclosed a new

Abstract Background Procalcitonin (PCT)-guided antibiotic stewardship (ABS) has
been shown to reduce antibiotics (ABxs), with lower side-effects and an
improvement in clinical outcomes. The aim of this experts workshop was to derive
a PCT algorithm ABS for easier implementation into clinical routine across
different clinical settings. Methods Clinical evidence and practical experience
