Abstract Background The EFLM Task and Finish Group Urinalysis has updated the ECLM European Guidelines (2000) on urinalysis urine bacterial culture, to improve accuracy of these examinations in clinical laboratories, support diagnostic industry develop new technologies. Recommendations Graded recommendations were built following areas: Medical needs test requisition Strategies testing are described patients with complicated or uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI), high low-risk kidney...
In recent decades, young men in some industrialized areas have reportedly experienced a decrease semen quality.We examined effects of perinatal dioxin exposure on sperm quality and reproductive hormones.We investigated hormone concentrations 39 sons (mean age, 22.5 years) born between 1977 1984 to mothers exposed after the accident Seveso, Italy (1976), 58 comparisons 24.6 only background dioxin. Maternal levels at conception were extrapolated from measured 1976 serum samples.The 21...
To investigate the association of normal fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and risk for type 2 diabetes.Data concerning 13,845 subjects, aged 40-69 years, who had their FPG measured at least three times between 1992 2008 were extracted from a database. Three groups defined (51-82, 83-90, 91-99 mg/dL). A Cox proportional hazards analysis was applied to estimate incident diabetes adjusted other factors.During 108,061 person-years follow-up (8,110 women 5,735 men), 307 cases found. The final model...
Heterogeneous results have been obtained in the relationship between serum uric acid ( SUA ) and target organ damage TOD patients with hypertension. Clinic blood pressure, , cardiac, arterial (carotid aortic), renal were assessed 762 consecutive Hyperuricemia was defined as an >7.0 men >6.0 mg/dL women. Men hyperuricemia compared those normal showed lower estimated glomerular filtration rates E/A ratios a higher prevalence of carotid plaques. Women intima‐media thickness. Except for...
ABSTRACT We evaluated a new automated urine sediment analyzer that provides whole-field images for the screening of samples prior to bacterial culture. Sterile from 1,011 male and female outpatients inpatients (mean age 54.7) with urinary tract infection prevalence 18.3% were studied. Screening rapidly negative results.
ERAS program applied to colorectal laparoscopic surgery is well known reduce hospitalization improving short terms outcomes and minimizing the Surgical Stress Response.However its effectiveness in elderly population yet be demonstrated.The primary aim of this study compare level immune nutritional serum indexes across patients aged over 70 years old undergoing elective within an protocol or according a Standard
The correlation of clinical, radiological and laboratory findings patients at admission in the Emergency Department (ED) with clinical severity risk mortality was investigated. Adult coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) hospitalized March 2020 Desio Hospital, Lombardy, were retrospectively included study, categorized terms adverse outcome. Out 175 enrolled, 79% presented one or more comorbidities, cardiovascular being most frequent (62%). More than half showed lymphocytopenia 20%...
Chest pain is one of the most frequent reasons for presentation to emergency department (ED), although estimated prevalence AMI (acute myocardial infarction) in ED about 4%. One criterion diagnosis demonstration a rise and/or fall cardiac troponins, but time needed this happen. Thus, use an additional 'early marker' injury may aid exclude rapidly. The aim study was evaluate possibility excluding with determination heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) on baseline samples patients...
Rapid and early identification of micro-organisms in blood has a key role the diagnosis febrile patient, particular, guiding clinician to define correct antibiotic therapy. This study presents simple very fast method with high performances for identifying bacteria by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) after only 4 h incubation. We used bacterial growth on PolyViteX chocolate agar plates inoculated five drops blood-broth medium deposited...
External quality assessment is a standard procedure for many medical laboratories, especially those accredited according to ISO 15189. INSTAND has developed web-based control surveys (WQ) with integrated case-based learning in collaboration the Institute Teaching and Educational Research Health Sciences (IDBG), University of Witten/Herdecke. The WQs were presented via weblink using management system CASUS. Laboratories registered conventional EQAs covering same topic invited participate WQs....
Extensive vaccination against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is now universally regarded as one of the most effective strategies for counteracting current pandemic. The durability immune response available vaccines not known, therefore quantitative dynamics serum anti-S antibodies after Comirnaty vaccine in health care workers (HCW) Desio Hospital was conducted.51 previously infected and 198 HCW, from Desio, Italy were enrolled study. double dose schedule...
The assessment of antibody response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is critical importance verify the protective efficacy available vaccines. Hospital healthcare workers play an essential role in care and treatment patients were particularly at risk contracting SARS-CoV-2 infection during pandemic. vaccination protocol introduced our hospital protected contributed containment infection’ s spread transmission, although a reduction vaccine against symptomatic...
Die EFLM Task and Finish Group Urinalysis hat die ECLM European Guideline aus dem Jahr 2000 zur Urinanalyse und Urinbakterienkultur für Patient:innen mit Harnwegsinfektionen unterschiedlichem Risiko Nierenerkrankungen aktualisiert. Leitlinie unterstützt medizinisch begründete wirtschaftlich ausgewogene Laborprozesse unter Berücksichtigung der Anforderungen DIN EN ISO 15189:2022 sowie Diagnostikindustrie bei Qualitätsspezifikationen neue Technologien.
