Specifically intended for lab-based biomedical researchers, this practical guide shows how to design experiments that are reproducible, with low bias, high precision, and widely applicable results. With specific examples from research using both cell cultures and model organisms, it explores key ideas in experimental design, assesses common designs, and shows how to plan a successful experiment. It demonstrates how to control biological and technical factors that can introduce bias or add noise, and covers rarely discussed topics such as graphical data exploration, choosing outcome variables, data quality control checks, and data pre-processing. It also shows how to use R for analysis, and is designed for those with no prior experience. An accompanying website (https://stanlazic.github.io/EDLB.html) includes all R code, data sets, and the labstats R package. This is an ideal guide for anyone conducting lab-based biological research, from students to principle investigators working in either academia or industry.

This series is directed to healthcare professionals who are leading the tra- formation of health care by using information and knowledge. Launched in 1988 as Computers in Health Care, the series offers a broad range of titles: some addressed to specific professions such as nursing, medicine, and health administration; others to special areas of practice such as trauma and radi- ogy. Still other books in the series focus on interdisciplinary issues, such as the computer-based patient record, electronic health records, and networked healthcare systems. Renamed Health Informatics in 1998 to reflect the rapid evolution in the discipline now known as health informatics, the series will continue to add titles that contribute to the evolution of the field. In the series, eminent - perts, serving as editors or authors, offer their accounts of innovations in health informatics. Increasingly, these accounts go beyond hardware and so- ware to address the role of information in influencing the transformation of healthcare delivery systems around the world. The series also increasingly focuses on "peopleware" and the organizational, behavioral, and societal changes that accompany the diffusion of information technology in health services environments.

R2,477 Discovery Miles 24 770 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

La questione della sicurezza dei pazienti e del rischio clinico rappresenta da sempre un problema in medicina, ma e a partire dagli ultimi anni che essa e diventata un ambito prioritario della qualita nei servizi sanitari. La medicina non e una scienza esatta e le cure mediche non sono sempre efficaci e affidabili. La materia e inoltre cosi vasta e complessa da rendere impossibile agli operatori una conoscenza completa di ogni aspetto; a cio si aggiunge il fatto che i pazienti non sempre si attengono correttamente alle indicazioni di terapia. La valutazione del rischio e l'analisi degli eventi avversi possono quindi contribuire ad accrescere i livelli di sicurezza degli assistiti, a ridurre l'inappropriatezza delle procedure e a impiegare meglio le risorse umane e tecnologiche. Questo volume, dopo una prima valutazione dello stato dell'arte della sicurezza del paziente in Italia e all'estero, presenta i metodi piu diffusi per l'analisi degli eventi avversi nelle diverse specialita (medicina d'urgenza, ostetricia e ginecologia, oncologia, salute mentale, ecc.) e nei servizi di supporto (laboratori analisi, radiologia, trasfusioni, farmaceutica). Sono inoltre esaminati gli incidenti piu frequenti in strutture extraospedaliere (come ambulatori di medicina generale, servizi sanitari delle carceri). Quest'opera, caratterizzata da una particolare vastita di argomenti trattati, descrive come contenere il rischio e prevenire gli eventi avversi in sanita, analizzando la natura dell'errore umano e applicando le pratiche di sicurezza piu efficaci.

Wle schon mein Buch "Diagnostische Bewertungvon Laborbefunden" so ist auch dieses aus der Praxis heraus fur die Praxis entstanden. Die in der taglichen Laborarbeit auftretenden Fragestellungen sollen rasch beantwortetwerden konnen. Zwar gibt es Lehrbiicher und andere Fach- literatur, die zum ersten Lernen und zur Erweiterung der Kenntnisse hervorragend geeignet sind; in der taglichen Arbeit geben sie jedoch nicht rasch und ausfuhrlich genug Auskunft, insbesondere wenn es urn die Frage geht, welche Untersuchungsmethode gewahlt werden sollte. Von den Symptomen ausgehend, sollten zunachst nur Unter- suchungsprogramme erarbeitet werden, die die Differentialdiagnose wirksam unterstiitzen konnen. Da jedoch in der taglichen Praxis immer wieder Fragen nach bestimmten Krankheitsbildern auftreten, muEten nicht nur Symptome, sondern auch die wichtigsten Krankheiten aufge- nommen werden. Zur leichteren Auffindbarkeit sind daher die Symp- tome alphabetisch neben den Krankheiten aufgefiihrt. Da das Buch auf Teilfragen aus dem Gesamtgebiet der Medizin Antwort gibt, bezieht sich auch die Darstellung vorwiegend auf solehe T eilbereiche. Dadurch ist das Buch umfangreicher geworden als zu- nachst vorgesehen. Denn es ist zum Beispiel schwierig, beim Thema "Ulcus ventriculi" nur begleitende und im Verhaltnis zur Hauptdia- gnostik verhaltnismaEig unwichtige Laborbefunde allein darzustellen; vielmehr ist es erforderlich, bei bestimmten Krankheitsbildern auch auf andere technische Untersuchungen hinzuweisen.

Biomedical scientists are the foundation of modern healthcare, from cancer screening to diagnosing HIV, from blood transfusion for surgery to food poisoning and infection control. Without biomedical scientists the diagnosis of disease, the evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment, and research into the causes and cures of disease would not be possible. The Fundamentals of Biomedical Science series has been written to reflect the challenges of practicing biomedical science today. It draws together essential basic science with insights into laboratory practice to show how an understanding of the biology of disease is coupled to the analytical approaches that lead to diagnosis. Assuming only a minimum of prior knowledge, the series reviews the full range of disciplines to which a Biomedical Scientist may be exposed-from microbiology to cytopathology to transfusion science. Cytopathology provides a wide-ranging overview of the microscopic study of normal and abnormal cells, showing how current visualization methods are used to study cell structure, and how early detection of abnormal cell pathology can lead to timely clinical interventions.

The traditional concept of biological sensors, based on enzymatic receptors and potentiometric or amperometric transducers has undergone several genera tions of development. Such types of biosensors have been extensively reviewed, described in many textbooks and commercialized. This book is focused on alternative types of chemical and biological sensors or sensor-like structures and approaches, exploring electrical or electrochemical signal detection. Spe cial attention is paid to applications of linear and nonlinear impedance. Some basic ideas in this field are very old - first described, for example, in the classi cal work by Warburg at the end of the 19th century. Later impedance spectrosco py became a popular approach for studying adsorption of organic molecules on polarizable metal electrodes. However, analytical applications of this approach have only been developed over the last decade, after the establishment of the technology of self-assembled monolayers. In that time, when many scientists were disappointed with attempts to use the Langmuir-Blodgett technique for manufacturing electrochemical devices, the self-assembled monolayers became a viable technology for immobilization of organic molecules on electrodes and for the formation of covalently stabilized receptor layers and even more sophis ticated organic nano- and microstructures. This resulted in the development of numerous analytical applications of impedometric methods which are the main topic of the present book. The book consists of four parts."

DNA Methods in Clinical Microbiology describes the novel DNA-based technology now used in the diagnosis and management of infectious diseases. It is a concise, yet readable, overview written primarily for clinicians, clinical microbiologists, medical students and undergraduates in medical and veterinary microbiology. The book has two primary aims. First, to explain the principles of these methods at the molecular' level. Second, to provide a clinical perspective by reporting results from actual DNA-based investigations on a range of specimens. Those approaching DNA methods for the first time are assisted by a brief resume of the relevant features of nucleic acids (Chapter 2): this information is essential for an understanding of later chapters. Subsequent text covers detection, characterization and quantification of pathogens by a variety of methods - e.g., target amplification (PCR, LCR, NASBA, TMA and SDA), signal amplification (bDNA) and probe-based techniques; the chapter on typing describes nearly twenty named molecular methods, including spoligotyping and MLST. All chapters include an adequate range of current reference from which, if required, detailed protocols can be obtained. The diagrams are clear, and readers are assisted by a detailed index."

Automated counters provide data on blood samples with greater speed and precision than manual microscopic methods, but generate reports with unfamiliar terms as well as previously unavailable types of information. "Automated Blood Counts and Differentials" gives the first in-depth examination of this new technology, the data it provides, and their value for hematologic analysis.

This manual offers practical guidelines for evaluating automated blood count results and discusses technical aspects of instrumentation that underline measurement values and artifacts. Chapters on red cells, platelets, and white cells cover basic pathophysiology and clinical interpretation of the most common abnormal blood counts, with individual sections on specific conditions. Ten illustrative case examples give readers an opportunity to interpret data. The book is liberally illustrated and emphasizes correlations between automated hematology and manual blood smear morphology to show how the two methods best complement each other.

Making full use of automated blood counts is a challenge that faces technicians operating the equipment, pathologists working with the results, and physicians receiving the reports. "Automated Blood Counts and Differentials" will help readers develop expertise in interpreting the data gathered by this new diagnostic tool

Despite remarkable progress, much remains unknown about the risks and benefits of genetic testing. No effective interventions are yet available to improve the outcome of most inherited diseases; negative test results might not rule out future occurrence of disease, and positive test results do not necessarily mean the disease will inevitably develop. In view of this uncertainty, the Working Group on Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications of Human Genome Research at the National Institutes of Health and Department of Energy created the Task Force on Genetic Testing. Comprising representatives of fifteen major stakeholders in genetic testing and five government agencies involved with testing, the task force was charged with reviewing genetic testing in the United States and making recommendations to ensure the development of safe and effective genetic tests.

In "Promoting Safe and Effective Genetic Testing in the United States" the members of this task force present the conclusions of their study. They begin by describing general principles involved in genetic testing, including informed consent, testing of children, confidentiality, and discrimination. They describe methods and policies to ensure the safety and effectiveness of new genetic tests, including criteria for developing tests and ways of ensuring compliance with those criteria. They then discuss how to ensure the quality of laboratories that perform genetic tests, including the role of laboratory personnel and methods of monitoring laboratory performance. They show how health care professionals outside the field of genetics can better understand the uses of genetic testing, and offer suggestions for changes in these professionals' education and training. Finally, they offer a look at testing for rare inherited genetic disorders.
