Pharmacology has advanced from being the science of discovering drugs and their administration. At present, pharmacology has become an analytical discipline whereby “the diagnostic laboratory is an integral and essential part of the process whereby an internist attempts to make…
The shift of focus in health medicine to preventive care from a reactive “sick-care” model is getting more and more evident. The change is basically dependent on laboratory medicine which is considered to be the silent leader of the public…
The domain of medicine is changing drastically and the change is very evident in the shift from generalized treatments to the treatments of the future which will be defined by precision. At the core of this change is molecular biology…
Immunology diagnostics, or serology, is based on one biological premise: the specific lock-and-key interaction of the Antigen-Antibody (Ag-Ab) complex. This interaction is viewed as a thermodynamic event with certain affinity constants which determine the sensitivity and specificity of each test,…
In fact, it is a high-risk logistics center for “liquid organ transplants.” Every blood unit transfused is biologically active tissue, capable of saving a life or, if used improperly, causing a disastrous immune system failure. Transfusion medicine is the field…
When disease strikes, it rarely does so in silence; it leaves behind a distinct molecular trail of evidence. Clinical biochemistry is the scientific discipline dedicated to detecting, quantifying, and interpreting these trails. By analyzing the chemical components of bodily fluids—primarily…
Microbiology is often misrepresented as a science of passive observation—a discipline where one merely watches through lenses. However, the modern microbiology laboratory is more akin to a sophisticated engineering world. It is a facility where the laws of physics are…
In the past, cancer medicine depended upon a generic and late-stage indicator; today, the use of tumor markers encompasses a sophisticated technique of “precision medicine,” from the time of diagnosis to post-therapy follow-ups. Biological Principles: What Characterizes a Tumor Marker?…
This is the territory of laboratory medicine, which is the link between guessing and confirmation by science. Laboratory medicine is a field that has the reasoning power of a detective and the accuracy of advanced engineering at the same time,…
