Landmark Papers in Clinical Chemistry
Author: Richard M. Rocco
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080458947
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 522
Book Description
This is the first major review of the developments in clinical laboratory science in the 20th century presented in the words of the original inventors and discoverers. Introductory comments by the editor help place the works within the historical context. Landmark Papers addresses: *The origin of the home pregnancy test available today in every drugstore *The woman who invented a billion dollar technology, refused to patent it and went on to win a Nobel Prize *The scientists who worked on the US Government’s crash program at the start of WWII to find a substitute for the malaria drug quinine *The blood test used to monitor the effectiveness of cholesterol lowering drugs that today are taken by over 20 million patients *The graduate student who invented a technology for testing for infectious diseases, took it to Africa to screen people for malaria for the first time and which is now used to test for HIV infection world-wide *The invention of molecular diagnostics by Linus Pauling and the road to individualized medicine *The development of the glucose meter used by diabetics up to six times a day to monitor their metabolic control *First book of this kind dedicated to clinical chemistry *Thirty-nine articles that have shaped the field today *A survey of the major developments in the field clinical chemistry in the 20th century

Four Centuries of Clinical Chemistry
Author: Louis Rosenfeld
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351447319
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 422
Book Description
The origin and early years of any rapidly changing scientific discipline runs the risk of being forgotten unless a record of its past is preserved. In this, the first book-length history of clinical chemistry, those involved or interested in the field will read about who and what went before them and how the profession came to its present state of clinical importance. The narrative reconstructs the origins of clinical chemistry in the seventeenth century and traces its often obscure path of development in the shadow of organic chemistry, physiology and biochemistry until it assumes its own identity at the beginning of the twentieth century. The chronological development of the story reveals the varied roots from which modern clinical chemistry arose.

Clinical Chemistry
Author: David White
Publisher: Garland Science
ISBN: 1315392321
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 587
Book Description
Clinical Chemistry is a comprehensive textbook covering the area of medical science variously known as chemical pathology, clinical chemistry, medical biochemistry and clinical biochemistry. The biochemical processes and physiological interrelationships, of tissues, organs and molecules are discussed in the context of disease processes and related to the diagnosis, monitoring, and management of disease. Also included are analytical processes, such as immunoassay, and how these relate to clinical practice. Although the emphasis of this book is clinical biochemistry, some chapters include sections on haematology, radiology and microbiology where this helps in the understanding of disease processes. The increasing use of the techniques of molecular biology and genetics in the investigation of disease is acknowledged also by appropriate inclusion of these disciplines in a number of chapters. Standard International (SI) units of measurement are used throughout, but for tests where non-SI units are in common use as well as SI units both sets of units are quoted.
