Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding a simple and step-by-step procedure to conduct clinical biochemistry-related analyses is a real challenge for many undergraduate, graduate students, researchers and technicians in universities and laboratories. Moreover, understanding the theory of the experiment, which is not provided in some currently available manuals, is a useful and essential requirement in the experiment for successful performance, accuracy and acceptable results. The book contains 14 chapters. The first three chapters describe essential clinical aspects in laboratory such as specimens used for clinical chemistry analysis and sample collecting methods with common sampling errors. In addition, the fundamentals and laboratory techniques commonly used for sample analysis such as centrifugation, electrophoresis, photometry, fluorometry, and chromatography are also covered in one separate chapter. The later chapters discuss the biologic basics of liver, kidney and heart diseases and the common enzymes measured to assess the function of these organs. Moreover, properties, diagnosis and analysis of vital minerals disorders such as iron, calcium, phosphate, zinc and magnesium are discussed in five different chapters. Hematological disorders related to nutrition and some case histories and comments are added in order to help students to analyze and interpret the lab results in proper way. The book also has a separate chapter with lot of case studies and their solutions for better understanding. This book will be a useful reference for new students, non-native English medicine and life science students as it relies on figures and diagrams that explain the concepts and diagnosis of diseases in a simple way. Therefore, this quick guide aims to provide and develop the basic practical skills in the users with simple steps to follow along with the theoretical explanation for better understanding. It is expected that this quick handbook will provide good tools and useful guidelines for the students and researchers as well.

Download or read book Cracking the Code: A quick reference guide to interpreting patient medical notes written by Dr Katie Maddock and published by M&K Update Ltd. This book was released on 2015-04-24 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cracking the Code covers the basics of the contents of patients’ medical notes from a review of physiological systems to the interpretation of tests and investigations commonly ordered for patients. Common medical terminology used in a review of physiological systems is briefly explained. Commonly encountered investigative procedures are defined and their use explained. Medical laboratory tests are similarly explored. Much of this book concentrates upon the secondary care environment because this remains the main setting in which healthcare professionals have free and open access to patient medical notes. However the expanding roles of healthcare professionals in the primary care sector mean that all practitioners need to be able to unlock the code. It is hoped that this book will therefore be of use not only to the undergraduate pharmacy students for whom it was originally developed, but also to other healthcare professionals who access patient medical notes on a routine basis. Contents include: Section 1: Medical terminology Section 2: Patient medical notes Section 3: Investigative procedures Section 4: Laboratory reports Section 5: Medical abbreviations
