Laboratory management

Diagnosing neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s can be a hit and miss process – but is a lab-based test on the horizon?

Industry and drug development: how opportunities for pathologists extend beyond pathology

A new biosensor technique takes advantage of bacteriophages to rapidly detect drug-resistant pathogens.

Metabolic bone disease is highly prevalent, and although bone turnover marker (BTM) assays have a key role to play in its diagnosis and monitoring, the lack of internationally recognized guidelines for the interpretation of patient results has limited their clinical usefulness.

Thyroid disease is a highly prevalent and severe health problem that requires timely diagnosis and disease management.

We set out on a mission when we formed the task force on chronic kidney disease (CKD) – a joint project between the IFCC and World Association of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine

It’s so important that young scientists have the opportunity to make contributions to, and get involved with, programs that support the growth of their specialty field.

Whether you support it or feel threatened by it, point of care testing (POCT) has an important role to play in patient care – and its role continues to gain importance.

When it comes to quality control in your lab, don’t overlook the obvious – contaminated water can lead to a host of problems.

Pathologists in high-throughput laboratories are working as fast as they can to return results as quickly as possible.
