Previous attempts at developing molecular determination of age, such as measuring accumulation of mitochondrial DNA deletions or on telomere shortening, have shown limited accuracy or technical problems. In the current study, the researchers used T-cell DNA rearrangements to estimate age. T-cells develop their immune capabilities while they reside in the thymus. During this process, T-cell receptor DNA sequences undergo a rearrangement process, in which parts of the DNA are deleted and subsequently circulate as signal joint TCR excision circles (sjTRECs). With increasing age, the number of sjTRECs declines, which is the biological phenomenon that was used to estimate age. The new method could be used for criminal investigations, disaster victim identification or in anthropological studies. The findings were published in the journal &lt;i&gt;Current Biology&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Press release:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.erasmusmc.nl/perskamer/archief/2010/2878956/?lang=en"&gt;Estimating age using a drop of blood...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Article:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(10)01286-8"&gt;Estimating human age from T-cell DNA rearrangements...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?feedUrl=http%3A//feeds.medgadget.com/Medgadget&amp;amp;itemLink=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.medgadget.com%2Farchives%2F2010%2F11%2Festimating_age_from_a_drop_of_blood.html&amp;amp;itemDate=2010-11-23%2017%3A29%3A22&amp;amp;itemTitle=Estimating%20Age%20From%20a%20Drop%20of%20Blood"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?feedUrl=http%3A//feeds.medgadget.com/Medgadget&amp;amp;itemLink=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.medgadget.com%2Farchives%2F2010%2F11%2Festimating_age_from_a_drop_of_blood.html&amp;amp;itemDate=2010-11-23%2017%3A29%3A22&amp;amp;itemTitle=Estimating%20Age%20From%20a%20Drop%20of%20Blood" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2395276533114094583-1884412915650727412?l=labbrasil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.medgadget.com/archives/2010/11/estimating_age_from_a_drop_of_blood.html' title='Estimando a idade por uma gota de sangue'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/feeds/1884412915650727412/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2395276533114094583&amp;postID=1884412915650727412' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/1884412915650727412'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/1884412915650727412'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/2010/11/estimando-idade-por-uma-gota-de-sangue.html' title='Estimando a idade por uma gota de sangue'/><author><name>Mauricio Pacheco de Andrade</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395276533114094583.post-1341230985489237799</id><published>2010-11-22T17:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-22T17:06:10.364-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Microfluidic Device Detects Biomarkers Using Tiny Blood Samples</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.medgadget.com/archives/2010/11/microfluidic_device_detects_biomarkers_using_tiny_blood_samples.html"&gt;Microfluidic Device Detects Biomarkers Using Tiny Blood Samples&lt;/a&gt;: "&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://www.medgadget.com/archives/img/j6fffed.jpg" width="312" height="281" /&gt;Blood-based diagnostic biomarker testing currently requires a substantial amount of blood to be drawn from the patient. Researchers at Brigham Young University have developed a microfluidic device that may help reduce the amount of blood needed for sampling.  It relies on covalently attaching antibodies to a thin polymer film lining the wells of the microdevice, and running the blood serum through an even electric field.  Detecting the speed of the particles moving through the channel points to the nature of the protein marker under investigation.  The current device is capable of detecting four biomarkers, but should be expandable to deal with many more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;From the study abstract in &lt;em&gt;Lab on a Chip&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Here, we developed integrated microdevices with an affinity column and capillary electrophoresis channels to isolate and quantitate a panel of proteins in complex matrices. To form an affinity column, a thin film of a reactive polymer was photopolymerized in a microchannel, and four antibodies were covalently immobilized to it. The retained protein amounts were consistent from chip to chip, demonstrating reproducibility. Furthermore, the signals from four fluorescently labeled proteins captured on-column were in the same range after rinsing, indicating the column has little bias toward any of the four antibodies or their antigens. These affinity columns have been integrated with capillary electrophoresis separation, enabling us to simultaneously quantify four protein biomarkers in human blood serum in the low ng mL−1 range using either a calibration curve or standard addition. Our systems provide a fast, integrated and automated platform for multiple biomarker quantitation in complex media such as human blood serum.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

resistência bacteriana (como diz no artigo, algo como um Dow Jones da resistência- trazendo a analogia para o Brasil, um IBOVESPA de resist~encia bacteriana).  Ideia interessante, ilustra o impacto que a informação pode ter em relação a um problema como este:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.medgadget.com/archives/2010/11/drug_resistance_index_proposed_for_bacteria.html"&gt;Drug Resistance Index Proposed for Bacteria&lt;/a&gt;: " &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://www.medgadget.com/archives/img/43435fre.jpg" width="300" height="320" /&gt;At a meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene in Atlanta last week, Health Economist Ramanan Laxminarayan proposed a simpler system than what is used currently for tracking antimicrobial resistance in different countries. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;[The index]&lt;/em&gt; uses a "basket" of resistance data for different drugs, comparable to the basket of groceries and other expenses that makes up the cost-of-living index. These numbers are weighted according to the amount of each that is used. For instance, if doctors use cephalosporin twice as often as they do penicillin to treat a certain infection, cephalospirin's resistance percentage carries twice as much weight. This way, the index reflects how serious the resistance problem really is, says Laxminarayan. If a microbe develops resistance to a drug that is hardly ever used anyway—because better or cheaper ones exist—than the index will go up only slightly. But if resistance occurs against a drug prescribed to almost every patient, the index will skyrocket.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;This would allow comparisons between different geographic regions and an easier way to track changes over time. Laxminarayan and others think the current method of tracking resistance (reporting individual microbe's resistance to individual drugs) is too complicated to accurately describe to policy makers and the public. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;ScienceNow&lt;/em&gt;: &lt;a href="http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2010/11/a-dow-jones-for-drug-resistance.html"&gt;A Dow Jones for Drug Resistance&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Image credit:&lt;/strong&gt;: Wellcome Images: &lt;a title="Testing bacteria for antibiotic sensitivity." href="http://images.wellcome.ac.uk/indexplus/result.html?_IXMAXHITS_=1&amp;amp;_IXACTION_=query&amp;amp;_IXFIRST_=261&amp;amp;_IXSR_=uICXTgzLzFU&amp;amp;_IXSS_=_IXFPFX_%3dtemplates%252ft%26_IXMAXHITS_%3d250%26c%3d%2522contemporary%2bclinical%2bimages%2522%2bOR%2b%2522contemporary%2bimages%2522%2bOR%2b%2522corporate%2bimages%2522%26_IXFIRST_%3d1%26%252asform%3dwellcome%252dimages%26%2524%253dsi%3dtext%26_IXACTION_%3dquery%26%2524%2b%2528with%2bwi_sfgu%2bis%2bY%2529%2band%2bnot%2b%2528%2522contemporary%2bclinical%2bimages%2522%2bindex%2bwi_collection%2bor%2b%2522corporate%2bimages%2522%2bindex%2bwi_collection%2529%3d%252e%26%3d%26_IXrescount%3d495%26_IXINITSR_%3dy%26%2524%253dsort%3dsort%2bsortexpr%2bimage_sort%26_IXshc%3dy%26%2524%253ds%3dbacteria&amp;amp;_IXSPFX_=templates%2ft&amp;amp;_IXFPFX_=templates%2ft"&gt;Testing bacteria for antibiotic sensitivity. ...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?feedUrl=http%3A//feeds.medgadget.com/Medgadget&amp;amp;itemLink=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.medgadget.com%2Farchives%2F2010%2F11%2Fdrug_resistance_index_proposed_for_bacteria.html&amp;amp;itemDate=2010-11-09%2008%3A51%3A05&amp;amp;itemTitle=Drug%20Resistance%20Index%20Proposed%20for%20Bacteria"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?feedUrl=http%3A//feeds.medgadget.com/Medgadget&amp;amp;itemLink=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.medgadget.com%2Farchives%2F2010%2F11%2Fdrug_resistance_index_proposed_for_bacteria.html&amp;amp;itemDate=2010-11-09%2008%3A51%3A05&amp;amp;itemTitle=Drug%20Resistance%20Index%20Proposed%20for%20Bacteria" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2395276533114094583-3153311013789919290?l=labbrasil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.medgadget.com/archives/2010/11/drug_resistance_index_proposed_for_bacteria.html' title='Sistema de Monitoramento de Resitência Bacteriana'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/feeds/3153311013789919290/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2395276533114094583&amp;postID=3153311013789919290' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/3153311013789919290'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/3153311013789919290'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/2010/11/sistema-de-monitoramento-de-resitencia.html' title='Sistema de Monitoramento de Resitência Bacteriana'/><author><name>Mauricio Pacheco de Andrade</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395276533114094583.post-7746519107574693166</id><published>2010-11-05T06:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-11-05T06:52:13.289-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Vídeo: De moléculas a medicamentos</title><content type='html'>Olá,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Posto este interessante vídeo (que encontrei no blog &lt;a href="http://mournetrainingservices.blogspot.com/"&gt;Mourning Training Services&lt;/a&gt;) que ilustra os processos que envolvem o desenvolvimento de novas drogas.

Non-HDL-C offers several advantages over LDL cholesterol (LDL-C). A practical advantage is that measurement of non-HDL-C does not require collection of a fasting sample. Laboratories use the Friedewald equation to calculate LDL-C:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LDLC = TotalC − HDLC − Triglycerides/5&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This formula increasingly underestimates the true LDL-C value as triglyceride levels increase. This is why the laboratory does not report LDL levels when triglycerides are above 400 mg/dL. But the calculation is affected to some extent at all triglyceride levels above 100 mg/dL. A falsely low LDL-C level may give a patient and their physician a false sense of reassurance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Patients with diabetic dyslipidemia and related conditions, such as the metabolic syndrome, often have elevated triglycerides, low HDL, and relatively normal calculated LDL values. Sustained hypertriglyceridemia eventuates in elevated levels of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL), and small dense atherogenic LDL particles. Non-HDL cholesterol provides a single index of all these apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins, essentially acting as a surrogate for direct apolipoprotein B determinations. The bottom line is that the measurement of LDL-C alone is not an adequate measure of atherogenic risk in hypertriglyceridemic patients.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stated otherwise, non-HDL cholesterol is a stronger predictor of coronary risk than LDL or triglycerides in certain patient populations, since it reflects the sum of serum cholesterol carried by all of the potentially atherogenic lipoproteins including LDL, VLDL, IDL, and other remnant lipoproteins. Moreover, since it is calculated from total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol, both of which are measured directly, it is not affected by the triglyceride level and does not require a fasting specimen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A recent meta-analysis, which encompassed more than 300,000 patients and 10,000 major adverse events found that calculated LDL cholesterol is no more effective than using the non-HDL cholesterol level to predict the risk of vascular disease (Di Angel&amp;shy;antonio E, et al. JAMA. 2009;302:1993–2000).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NCEP ATP III guidelines recommend lowering non-HDL cholesterol as a secondary goal when triglycerides are &gt; 200 mg/dl. As can be seen in the following table, the target goal for non-HDL is always 30 mg/dl higher than the LDL target for each NCEP Risk Category.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Risk Category&lt;br /&gt;LDL Goal&lt;br /&gt;Non-HDL Goal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CHD &amp;amp; CHD Risk Equivalent&lt;br /&gt;&lt;100 mg/dL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;130 mg/dL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Multiple (2+) Risk Factors&lt;br /&gt;&lt;130 mg/dL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;160 mg/dL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;0 – 1 Risk Factor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;160 mg/dL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;190 mg/dL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The concept of good and bad cholesterol is still correct.

The new test, called HiFi-Blood 96, is being commercialized by &lt;strong&gt;AXO Science&lt;/strong&gt;, a spin-off company of the Institut de Chimie et Biochimie Moléculaires et Supramoléculaires ICBMS.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;From the statement issued by the American Chemical Society:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Most blood currently is typed for only a few of the 29 known human blood groups, even though some rare blood groups can affect the outcome of a transfusion. Commercial technology does exist for extended typing with DNA tests. However, it is expensive, difficult to use, and suited more for research labs than high-volume blood centers, they state. Wide adoption of extended blood group typing, they note, requires a test that can handle the high volume of blood processed each year -- 14 million donations in the United States, for instance, and 20 million in Europe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The study describes evaluation of the new more affordable method, called the HiFi Blood 96, which types blood with DNA testing in a high-speed automated procedure. Tests on 293 human blood samples demonstrated the performance and reliability of the new method. The report compares HiFi Blood 96 to existing commercial tests, and discusses improvements that are underway.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Abstract in &lt;em&gt;Analytical Chemistry&lt;/em&gt;: &lt;a title="Robust, High-Throughput Solution for Blood Group Genotyping" href="http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ac101008d"&gt;Robust, High-Throughput Solution for Blood Group Genotyping&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?feedUrl=http%3A//feeds.medgadget.com/Medgadget&amp;amp;itemLink=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.medgadget.com%2Farchives%2F2010%2F07%2Fnew_robust_test_for_extended_group_typing_of_donated_blood.html&amp;amp;itemDate=2010-07-15%2016%3A50%3A14&amp;amp;itemTitle=New%2C%20Robust%20Test%20for%20Extended%20Group%20Typing%20of%20Donated%20Blood"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?feedUrl=http%3A//feeds.medgadget.com/Medgadget&amp;amp;itemLink=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.medgadget.com%2Farchives%2F2010%2F07%2Fnew_robust_test_for_extended_group_typing_of_donated_blood.html&amp;amp;itemDate=2010-07-15%2016%3A50%3A14&amp;amp;itemTitle=New%2C%20Robust%20Test%20for%20Extended%20Group%20Typing%20of%20Donated%20Blood" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2395276533114094583-2897540612042059469?l=labbrasil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.medgadget.com/archives/2010/07/new_robust_test_for_extended_group_typing_of_donated_blood.html' title='Novidades na Tipagem Sanguínea'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/feeds/2897540612042059469/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2395276533114094583&amp;postID=2897540612042059469' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/2897540612042059469'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/2897540612042059469'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/2010/07/novidades-na-tipagem-sanguinea.html' title='Novidades na Tipagem Sanguínea'/><author><name>Mauricio Pacheco de Andrade</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395276533114094583.post-5538128164235320181</id><published>2010-07-02T10:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-02T10:35:46.723-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Saiu no Blog da SBD</title><content type='html'>Esta saiu no blog da &lt;a href="http://blog.diabetes.org.br/"&gt;SBD &lt;/a&gt;e é muito interessante:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.diabetes.org.br/2010/07/01/ada-2010-rastreamento-de-diabeticos-em-populacoes-de-risco-e-custo-efetivo/"&gt;ADA 2010 - Rastreamento de diabéticos em populações de risco é custo efetivo&lt;/a&gt;: " &lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;No Congresso da ADA, realizado na Flórida, a Dra. Ranne Chatterjee, afirmou que o rastreamento para diabetes em população de risco economiza dinheiro em curto prazo. O trabalho foi realizado em pessoas adultas e obesas. A projeção é que no prazo de três anos existe uma economia significativa, mesmo levando em contas o custo da medicação e os falsos negativos. A estimativa de redução de custos é de 7,3 % para aqueles com BMI de 25 a 35 kg por metro quadrado e de 21,5 % para aqueles com mais de 35 kg.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;Com relação à idade, a redução de custos é de 8,1 % para os da faixa etária entre 40-55 anos e de 17,1 % para os maiores de 55 anos. Estes achados reforçam a posição da ADA de que os testes de rastreamento são úteis em qualquer situação, mas especialmente nos pessoas com sobrepeso ou obesidade, ou ainda naqueles que tem um ou mais fator de risco.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;O grupo da Dra. Ranne, concluiu ainda que o método mais barato de rastreamento é o teste com 50 g de glicose oral realizado de forma oportunística. O Dr. Richard Bernensstal, do Centro Internacional de Diabetes em Mineapolis, diz que o melhor método deve ser debatido de acordo com o grupo de risco que vai ser examinado. Declarou ainda: “Muitos médicos e sistema de saúde tem que adotar um sistema estratégico que pode varia bastante na sua abordagem. O custo é uma parte essencial desta discussão. Todos os dados do gerenciamento mostram que quanto mais cedo você intervir, mais efetivo e seguro será o acompanhamento das populações.”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;Nas pessoas suspeitas, recomenda-se um segundo teste com hemoglobina glicada e um teste padrão de glicose 2 horas após a ingestão de 75 g de glicose.  A prevalência esperada de diabetes é de 12 % que aumenta para 35 % nos obesos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;Com relação a dia de a prevalência é de 10 % antes dos 40 anos e de 35 % acima dos 55 anos. Os custos totais associados a um teste de tolerância  foi mais baixo do que a opção de não realizá-lo. Fazer o teste representou, na população estudada, US 216,007 versus 242,737 para os diabéticos e pré-diabéticos juntos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;Os testes para encontrar uma pessoa com diabetes diminuíram à medida que aumenta o IMC. Ele é de US 153 para as pessoas abaixo de 25 kg por metro quadrado de superfície corporal e de US 61 para uma pessoa com IMC 25 kg. O mesmo é verdadeiro com o aumento da idade, custando US 218 para as pessoas abaixo de 40 anos e passando  para US 85 na faixa de idade de 40 a 55 e US 61 acima de 55 anos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;Assim a economia com o rastreamento é maior nos obesos (253 versus 73 por pessoas no grupo de peso normal ou baixo) e no grupo mais idoso (US 239 versus US 65 para pessoas abaixo de 55).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A ADA, no entanto, recomenda que o rastreamento deva ser feito com a determinação da A1C e da glicemia em jejum. Este é o seu método preferencial.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;Fonte: Chatterje R, et al “Screening for diabetes and pré-diabetes shoul be cost-cost savind in high-risk patients”.

This course introduces the important concepts of HPLC and will enable you to fully understand: the different types of HPLC and how they differ; the different types of available HPLC columns and how they differ; why there are so many different mobile phase components and the ways in which they are combined to effect a chromatographic separation; and how components such as the pump, injector, detector and processor are combined to make a HPLC instrument.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;The course is delivered using our virtual environment for learning, &lt;a href="http://www.mournetrainingservices.co.uk/emts.html"&gt;e-MTS&lt;/a&gt;, and consists of:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;A series of training videos (totalling over 3 hours where each video is approximately 25 minutes), &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Exercises on which you will receive feedback from your personal tutor and,&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;An assessment which enables accreditation of the training - It is recognised by the Royal Society of Chemistry for the purposes of continuing professional development.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;The cost of this course is only GBP £125 + VAT and includes a copy of our training book, &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mournetrainingservices.co.uk/book_introduction_HPLC.html"&gt;An Introduction to HPLC for Pharmaceutical Analysis&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; (which mormally costs GBP £29.27). This is great value for a course which equates to a full day of training.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;So, how does it work?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All you need is access to the internet. The training is undertaken over a period of 1 week. You sign up and select a week which suits you. Each day training videos and exercises are uploaded to your virtual classroom which you can watch and submit answers for the exercises. This allows you to access the training materials at a time which suits you within the 24 hour period (you should allow about 90 minutes since there are 2 videos, each of length approximately 25 minutes and the exercises should take about 40 minutes). At the end of each session feedback from your personal tutor and full solutions for the exercises is sent to you by email.

I have previously discussed this very useful web site (see: &lt;a href="http://ow.ly/1ucdF"&gt;ARUP Offers Lab Algorithms for Disease Diagnosis Support&lt;/a&gt;). I raise the topic of APS here for two reasons. First, to familiarize readers of this blog with the syndrome. Secondly, I want to emphasize how Twitter and the web in general have the capability of familiarizing physicians and healthcare consumers about relatively obscure diseases. Below, copied from ARUP Consult, is a description of APS:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder in which autoantibodies are directed against phospholipid-protein complexes. APS is characterized by thrombosis (arterial, venous, or small vessel) and/or pregnancy complications and persistently positive tests for antiphospholipid-protein (aPL) antibodies&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;[Following are some salient details about the disease:]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;aPL antibodies are present in a low percentage of young healthy subjects (1-5%) and up to 10% of patients with venous thrombosis&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Higher prevalence in patients with autoimmune disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus (up to 50%), malignancy, liver disease, and vascular disease&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Most patients with aPL antibodies do not have an underlying autoimmune disease&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Presents clinically as venous, arterial, or small vessel thrombosis, and/or obstetric complications&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Treatment decisions depend on the extent of clinical symptoms and may range from no treatment to long-term anticoagulation&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Refer to the ARUP Consult for the complete description of this disease.

Truth or Fairy Tale?&lt;/a&gt;: "&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;[&lt;em&gt;ed.&lt;/em&gt; We get a lot of email at Westgard Web. Most of them are questions, some are comments, and rarer still, some are well thought out essays. Here's one of the latter, worth an entire post of its own...]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;em&gt;By Jared Waterman, MT(ASCP), PA-C&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Truth or Fairy Tale?  I ask this important question, because over the past 9 years of being a medical technologist, I’ve noticed a trend in several clinical laboratories.  (Keep in mind that I am armed with training from the University of Wisconsin CLS program that included an education in method development and statistical analysis from Dr. Westgard himself.)  The trend is that many lab technologists FALSELY believe they are producing quality test results, when in fact, they have no idea what that quality actually is....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another trend is many supervisors responsible for monitoring quality control results and systems, do not know how to analyze data, make conclusions on testing performance, or guarantee quality testing is performed.  While I do believe analytical quality certainly exists in all laboratories, quantifying the amount of quality present in most laboratories would be hard to perform for most technologists today.  I have noticed that some labs run tests without ever defining the quality needed for testing.  I attribute this to lack of education on how to define, monitor, and run programs to ensure quality testing.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel that understanding and performing quality measures in laboratories has become a lost art if you will.  Part of the reason is because many labs find it easier for a vendor to “guarantee” quality by offering to perform validation and performance testing on new instrument purchases.  This saves valuable time and ensures that medical technologists can focus on their task at hand… performing the testing.  It is also easy for directors and lead techs to use quality and statistical vocabulary terms, without understanding the meaning behind such words.  They speak of implementing total quality management (TQM) practices, yet the quality is never defined in these labs, and statistics are misapplied.  Put another way, how can a lab say they have a Quality Management program, with Quality Control practices set in place, when they’ve never defined the quality requirement needed for each test being performed, let alone understand the data from instrument performance characteristics that helps assess quality of the test?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This ongoing practice is like paying money for a home inspection and appraisal before being approved for a loan by the bank.  Simply put, the cart got ahead of the horse when it comes to understanding the quality of laboratory testing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even in the modern day of internet, rapid and easy information gathering, and free content on quality analytical testing posted at Westgard.com, laboratories are still not getting the message.  Is it because they are too busy focusing on the actual testing, or being asked to perform more and more testing with less personnel, that quality goes by the way-side?  Or is it because many technologists don’t understand the basics of quality measures, hate statistics, and are scared to venture outside their comfort zone and actually learn something different than what they already know?  The current practice of operating an instrument, unaware of the quality of a result and what it means, has to end.  Likewise, relying on untrained personnel to monitor quality parameters for testing must end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do not know the answers to these questions, but see the topic of quality laboratory testing misrepresented daily.  It can be seen in many forms: misapplying multi-QC rules, incorrectly assuming that a 2SD violation can be taken care of by rerunning the QC and landing within 2SD meaning a method problem has gone away, or never existed.  Other examples include: not using the correct QC rules because test performance characteristics were not identified along with not defining the Quality Requirement of the test.  Yet another is falsely believing that an instrument vendor performs method validation correctly and thus guarantees you quality testing.  The examples are endless, and frustrating, yet continue to be a huge problem that continually occurs and remains unnoticed.  When and where do we draw the line for the misrepresentation that quality testing is being performed in today’s labs?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do not have a specific answer to this question; however, I can offer some solutions to the problem.  After all, every squeaky wheel deserves some grease.  One solution would be for lab directors to budget for and include a lead quality tech position in the lab.  This tech would be responsible for developing continuing education exercises and staff development in the area of quality.  They could also direct and monitor the lab quality program underneath the pathologist who is ultimately responsible for the testing quality.  Using seasoned techs and pairing them with newer techs in a symbiotic relationship would help both generations improve the quality of testing.  I do believe that today’s younger techs are exposed and better trained in the area of quality testing and statistical analysis, but are not allowed to participate in quality planning because of their “inexperience” as an actual technologist.  By having mentors, new techs can influence and help educate seasoned techs on the proper uses of statistical QC programs, rather than continue to run at the widely accepted 2SD standard across all tests in the lab.   After all, isn’t quality testing the responsibility of every tech in the lab at all times?  I think a team approach would dramatically improve the quality of testing in labs today, but we must break the chain of, “it has always been done this way, so we will continue to do it this way.”  By addressing the lack of knowledge in identifying quality, sharing the responsibility of quality testing between new and seasoned techs, quality will be improved in all labs that perform clinical testing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2395276533114094583-4411454580812544789?l=labbrasil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://james.westgard.com/the_westgard_rules/2010/02/quality-truth-or-fairy-tale.html' title='Vale a pena ler este artigo:'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/feeds/4411454580812544789/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2395276533114094583&amp;postID=4411454580812544789' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/4411454580812544789'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/4411454580812544789'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/2010/03/vale-pena-ler-este-artigo.html' title='Vale a pena ler este artigo:'/><author><name>Mauricio Pacheco de Andrade</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395276533114094583.post-3078096759550199407</id><published>2009-11-11T04:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-11T04:49:18.239-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Novas tecnologias na pesquisa de alergias</title><content type='html'>Deu no &lt;a href="http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/"&gt;Medical News Today&lt;/a&gt;, uma nota a respeito do lançamento de dois produtos pela Phadia: Phadia ISAC e Phadia HR.

During this webinar, Zoe presented a poll and more than 100 participants responded. The results are very interesting...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;When asked to agree or disagree with this statement, "Method quality is OK if all the results on a QC chart are within +/- 2 SD of the Mean" only 67% of the respondents said No. (I suppose we should be encouraged with that result? More than a majority of laboratorians have learned the most basic lesson of QC.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But then Zoe did a clever thing. She presented participants with this graph:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://james.westgard.com/.a/6a00d8354de03569e20120a60d7d36970b-pi" style="display: inline;"&gt;&lt;img alt="ZoeGraph1" src="http://james.westgard.com/.a/6a00d8354de03569e20120a60d7d36970b-800wi" title="ZoeGraph1" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, she asked, is this method OK or not or is there not enough information? Now only 29% of the participants answered that there was not enough information to make a decision. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here's the trick: The two questions are the same. The first is a verbal presentation, while the second is a graphic presentation, of the same situation. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let's be clear. When presented with the theoretical statement, 67% of the participants recognized that using 2sd limits as accepability critieria was not a good idea. But when presented with an actual example in a graph illustrating that theory, about half of those people &lt;strong&gt;did&lt;/strong&gt; use 2sd limits as acceptability criteria. Let's estimate that roughly a third of the participants knew the correct theory, but acted incorrectly in practice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The moral: even among experienced laboratorians, there is a lot of room for improvement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I suspect if the poll had asked what rules were &lt;em&gt;actually &lt;/em&gt;being used in the participant laboratories, we would find an even larger number still use 2sd limits as acceptability criteria. Even when you know the theory, and can recognize the practice, the pressures of generating fast results often force the capitulation of principles to production.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Zoe's website is &lt;a href="http://http/"&gt;http:www.awesome-numbers.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2395276533114094583-2688731543699259433?l=labbrasil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://james.westgard.com/the_westgard_rules/2009/10/mind-the-gap-difference-between-knowledge-and-action-in-the-laboratory.html' title='Para Refletir: Mind the Gap: Difference between knowledge and action in the laboratory'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/feeds/2688731543699259433/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2395276533114094583&amp;postID=2688731543699259433' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/2688731543699259433'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/2688731543699259433'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/2009/10/para-refletir-mind-gap-difference.html' title='Para Refletir: Mind the Gap: Difference between knowledge and action in the laboratory'/><author><name>Mauricio Pacheco de Andrade</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395276533114094583.post-3058150749295471515</id><published>2009-10-04T20:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-04T21:02:56.394-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Biblioteca Digital SBPC</title><content type='html'>Feliz a iniciativa da SBPC em oferecer um srviço de biblioteca virtual para documentos de uso laboratorial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vale a visita à &lt;a href="http://www.bibliotecasbpc.org.br"&gt;Biblioteca Digital da SBPC&lt;/a&gt;, dá para encontrar muita coisa interessante por lá.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2395276533114094583-3058150749295471515?l=labbrasil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/feeds/3058150749295471515/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2395276533114094583&amp;postID=3058150749295471515' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/3058150749295471515'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/3058150749295471515'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/2009/10/biblioteca-digital-sbpc.html' title='Biblioteca Digital SBPC'/><author><name>Mauricio Pacheco de Andrade</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395276533114094583.post-121421932382342200</id><published>2009-10-04T20:53:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-04T20:59:43.156-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Consolidação do uso de Cistatina C  como marcador de função renal.</title><content type='html'>Saiu no &lt;a href="http://renalfellow.blogspot.com/"&gt;Renal Fellow Network&lt;/a&gt;, o texto abaixo:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we all know, there are significant limitations to the use of creatinine as an estimate of GFR. Creatinine is freely filtered at the glomerulus, but in addition is also secreted to some degree, meaning that creatinine clearance can overestimate GFR. Furthermore, since creatinine is produced by muscle, individuals with high muscle mass may have a calculated GFR which is low despite actually preserved renal function. Another failing of creatinine-based GFR calculations is highlighted by the ability of creatinine to predict all-cause mortality: although high creatinines are associated with a higher risk of mortality, individuals with extremely low creatinines, perhaps reflective of a poor nutritional status or low muscle mass--also show poor mortality outcomes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a recent article in JASN by &lt;a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19762497?ordinalpos=1&amp;amp;itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DefaultReportPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum"&gt;Astor et al&lt;/a&gt;, the investigators provide evidence that &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;cystatin C&lt;/span&gt; does a better job of predicting mortality than creatinine. Cystatin C is a cysteine protease inhibitor which is freely filtered at the glomerulus, but not secreted like creatinine is. Furthermore, &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;cystatin C production is independent of muscle mass, making it less susceptible to the limitations of creatinine.&lt;/span&gt; One of the main strengths of the study is the it uses data from NHANES, which is generated from a large and ethnically diverse U.S. population with a long follow-up time; it also contains a large number of individuals with only mildly reduced GFRs in the CKD3 range. The apparent superiority of cystatin C to predict mortality and provide more accurate assessments of GFR compared to creatinine suggest it could eventually play a major role in routine lab assessment in many of our patients.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2395276533114094583-121421932382342200?l=labbrasil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/feeds/121421932382342200/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2395276533114094583&amp;postID=121421932382342200' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/121421932382342200'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/121421932382342200'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/2009/10/consolidacao-do-uso-de-cistatina-c-como.html' title='Consolidação do uso de Cistatina C  como marcador de função renal.'/><author><name>Mauricio Pacheco de Andrade</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395276533114094583.post-6706858532534892209</id><published>2009-09-17T06:55:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-17T06:59:10.429-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Specialty Labs</title><content type='html'>Mais um recurso interessante: o site do Specialty Labs.

The prevalence of increased UACR was similar in patients with reduced and preserved left ventricular ejection fractions. Patients with an increased UACR were older, had more cardiovascular comorbidity, worse renal function, and a higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus than did those with normoalbuminuria. However, a high prevalence of increased UACR was still noted among patients without diabetes, hypertension, or renal dysfunction. Elevated UACR was associated with increased risk of the composite outcome and death even after adjustment for other prognostic variables including renal function, diabetes, and haemoglobin A&lt;span class="ja50-ce-inf"&gt;1c&lt;/span&gt;. The adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for the composite outcome in patients with microalbuminuria versus normoalbuminuria was 1·43 (95% CI 1·21—1·69; p&lt;0·0001) p="0·0001)"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="ja50-ce-abstract-section"&gt;&lt;h3 class="ja50-ce-section-title"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Interpretation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="ja50-ce-simple-para"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Increased UACR is a powerful and independent predictor of prognosis in heart failure.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="ja50-ce-abstract-section"&gt;&lt;h3 class="ja50-ce-section-title"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Funding&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="ja50-ce-simple-para"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;AstraZeneca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2395276533114094583-8875738983914267987?l=labbrasil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/feeds/8875738983914267987/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2395276533114094583&amp;postID=8875738983914267987' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/8875738983914267987'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/8875738983914267987'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/2009/08/albumina-creatiina-urinaria-potencial.html' title='Albumina/ Creatiina Urinária: Potencial Marcador'/><author><name>Mauricio Pacheco de Andrade</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395276533114094583.post-6623230209195689827</id><published>2009-08-17T04:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-17T05:03:27.798-07:00</updated><title type='text'>As Farmácias e a Resolução 499</title><content type='html'>Está por aí uma encarniçada discussão a respeito da resolução 499, do Conselho Federal de Farmácia, a respeito da prestação de serviços por farmácias e drogarias. Ali, além da aferição da pressão sanguínea, temperatura, e colocação de brincos e piercings, há a possibilidade de realizar exames de glicose, colesterol e triglicerídeos (os dois últimos, ao que parece, suspensos).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pessoalmente, considero esta medida extremamente temerária. Não é de hoje que as farmácias deixaram de ser equipamentos de saúde e se tornaram comércio, dos mais prostituídos. Não é de hoje que praticamente não se encontram farmacêuticos preparados em farmácias (quando se encontram farmacêuticos). Hoje, o setor está dominado pelos empresários leigos e por profissionais que somente tentam se segurar no emprego de "assinar uma farmácia", de longe deixando de exercer sua função (o que em muitos casos nem se sabe ao certo do que se trata). Há honrosas exceções, mas o que mais se vê no mercado é uma assombrosa combinação entre desinformação e comércio ferino, o que só faz aumentar a automedicação, o uso incorreto de medicamentos, a empurroterapia, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine tudo isso, se na própria farmácia se puder fazer, de modo irresponsável (por exemplo, quando não houver farmacêutico presente), determinações que podem auxiliar no intento de se empurrar um medicamento? Ora, se em laboratórios, já é possível errar nestas determinações, o que dizer em um ambiente e um negócio que não foram concebidos para isso? Como será o controle? Como se emitirão os laudos? Qual o grau de confiabilidade dos testes?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Entendo que teoricamente, isto pode funcionar, mas, intimamente sei que está se encaminhando mais um desastre. Por outro lado, deve-se salientar que esta resolução é extremamente positiva no que tange a outras decisões, como a de prestação de serviço domiciliar farmacêutico, e outros, como avaliação da farmacoterapia indicada ao paciente, e aplicação de injeção e nebulizações, por exemplo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maurício Pacheco de Andrade&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2395276533114094583-6623230209195689827?l=labbrasil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/feeds/6623230209195689827/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2395276533114094583&amp;postID=6623230209195689827' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/6623230209195689827'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/6623230209195689827'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/2009/08/as-farmacias-e-resolucao-499.html' title='As Farmácias e a Resolução 499'/><author><name>Mauricio Pacheco de Andrade</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395276533114094583.post-5353663022622084110</id><published>2009-08-17T04:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-17T04:37:28.892-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Manual de Coleta de Sangue Venoso</title><content type='html'>Lançada pela SBPC a nova versão das Recomendações da Sociedade Brasileira de Patologia Clínica &lt;br /&gt;Medicina Laboratorial para COLETA DE SANGUE VENOSO, excelente documento, um verdadeiro tratado sobre o assunto.

Ainda não experimentei, só estou citando, assim que utilizar conto aqui no blog:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;div class="TituloTexto" align="left"&gt;Site ajuda a interpetar 2 mil testes&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="NotasTexto" align="left"&gt;&lt;i&gt;(05/08/2009)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Um recurso importante na Medicina Laboratorial Baseada em Evidências (MLBE). Trata-se do &lt;strong&gt;e-Thesaurus&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;em&gt;site&lt;/em&gt; que a &lt;strong&gt;Sociedade Brasileira de Patologia Clínica/Medicina Laboratorial (SBPC/ML)&lt;/strong&gt; traduziu para português, através de um acordo com a Sociedade Italiana de Medicina Laboratorial (SIMel), que o desenvolveu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ele ajuda a interpretar cerca de 2 mil testes diagnósticos laboratoriais, radiológicos e cardiológicos. Pode ser consultado pelos profissionais de laboratório e pelos médicos que solicitam os exames.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;table border="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;A pesquisa de uma determinada doença ou teste laboratorial apresenta uma tabela com referências bibliográficas e os parâmetros, quando disponíveis: &lt;em&gt;cut-off&lt;/em&gt;, sensibilidade e especificidade, razão de  chances positiva  (&lt;em&gt;Positive&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;Likelihood Ratio &lt;/em&gt;ou LR+), razão de chances negativa (&lt;em&gt;Negative Likelihood Ratio &lt;/em&gt;ou LR-), razão de verossimilhança  diagnóstica (&lt;em&gt;Diagnostic Odds Ratio&lt;/em&gt;) e número necessário para diagnosticar a doença (NDD - &lt;em&gt;Number Needed to Diagnose&lt;/em&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O nomograma (à direita) permite calcular a probabilidade pós-teste em função da probabilidade de pré-teste e do LR+ e LR-.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="width: 30px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.sbpc.org.br/upload/noticias_setor/320090805121610.jpg" alt="" /&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Como usar o e-Thesaurus&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A SIMeL quer incentivar a Medicina Laboratorial Baseada em Evidências. Por isso, o acesso ao &lt;em&gt;e-Thesaurus&lt;/em&gt; está liberado. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No &lt;em&gt;site&lt;/em&gt; da SBPC/ML (&lt;a href="http://www.sbpc.org.br//" target="_blank"&gt;www.sbpc.org.br&lt;/a&gt;), clique no nome do e-Thesaurus encontrado no menu do lado direito. Para navegar é melhor usar o programa Internet Explorer.&lt;/p&gt;Após entrar no e-Thesarus, digite "demo" nos campos "login" e "senha" da página de abertura. Na página seguinte, clique na bandeira do Brasil para selecionar a língua.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para fazer a pesquisa é preciso escrever o nome da doença ou do teste no campo "Busca". Os resultados aparecem na parte inferior da tela. Deve-se escolher um dos trabalhos científicos indicados e clicar no valor de LR+ (probabilidade de apresentar a doença) ou LR- (probabilidade de afastar a existência da doença).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A tabela superior e o nomograma são preenchidos automaticamente. Alterando a probabilidade pré-teste (cursor esquerdo), a probabilidade pós-teste (cursor direito) é calculada automaticamente.

De repente, você já pode usar neste ano mesmo. &lt;br /&gt;Se tudo correr bem, você ainda pode ter um ressarcimento do que já foi recolhido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boa declaração.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2395276533114094583-4549360443951108378?l=labbrasil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/feeds/4549360443951108378/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2395276533114094583&amp;postID=4549360443951108378' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/4549360443951108378'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/4549360443951108378'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/2009/03/prepare-sua-declaracao-de-ir.html' title='Prepare sua Declaração de IR'/><author><name>Mauricio Pacheco de Andrade</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395276533114094583.post-3110956596718786369</id><published>2009-03-13T13:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-13T13:14:19.605-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Cálcio Ionizado Calculado</title><content type='html'>Interessante artigo publicado na BMC Clinical Pathology, de Novembro de 2008, intitulado: &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Derivation and Internal validation of an equation for albumin-adjusted calcium&lt;/span&gt;, trata da validação de novos valores para cálculo do cálcio ionizado, especialmente em condições onde a dosagem direta deste analito é pouco viável, em especial devido a fatores pré-analíticos.&lt;br /&gt;Ainda, mostra um belo e simples desenho de trabalho, que pode ser adaptado pela maioria dos laboratórios, no estabelecimento de suas próprias fórmulas, baseadas em realidade populacional e analítica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vale a visita:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6890/8/12"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6890/8/12&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2395276533114094583-3110956596718786369?l=labbrasil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/feeds/3110956596718786369/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2395276533114094583&amp;postID=3110956596718786369' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/3110956596718786369'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/3110956596718786369'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/2009/03/calcio-ionizado-calculado.html' title='Cálcio Ionizado Calculado'/><author><name>Mauricio Pacheco de Andrade</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395276533114094583.post-959368410996741838</id><published>2009-02-15T13:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-15T15:34:06.840-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A Sarcosina e o Câncer de Próstata</title><content type='html'>Saiu na última Veja (edição 2100, 18/02/2009), página 96, a matéria Uma Desculpa a Menos, abordando a recente publicação de um estudo que revela que a presença de altas concentrações de sarcosina (&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcosine"&gt;veja a definição da molécula na wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;) na urina pode ser um sinal importante da presença de tumores prostáticos e, principalmente, sua agressividade. Mais ainda, a sarcosina pode ter um papel ativo na progressão da doença, o que a torna mais um alvo terapêutico na pesquisa de cura para a doença. Assim, este é um achado impactante, apontando a possibilidade de revelar importantes aspectos diagnósticos e terapêuticos (não é à toa que foi publicado na revista Nature - &lt;a href="http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v457/n7231/abs/nature07762.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Metabolomic profiles delineate potential role for sarcosine in prostate cancer progression&lt;/span&gt; Nature 457, 910-914, 12-02-2009&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ao procurar maiores referências na internet, encontram-se textos instigantes a respeito de como foi conduzido o estudo, e o que os resultados significam, e especialmente, a matéria original, que dá uma dimensão maior à leitura. A reportagem de Veja foi atualizada, bem direcionada, e superficial. Esta superficialidade não é necessariamente perniciosa: textos muito elaborados são em geral enfadonhos, espantando o leitor. Contudo, ao publicar uma matéria baseada em uma reportagem, e ao citar inclusive um dos autores do estudo, Christopher Beecher, seria no mínimo correto ter feito a citação do estudo publicado na nature, o que permitiria ao leitor ter acesso mais facilitado a maiores informações.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De uma revista de alcance público não se espera maior aprofundamento de uma matéria como esta, mas a falta de citação do artigo gerador da matéria torna seu relato incompleto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Veja a matéria da Folha sobre o assunto, no dia da publicação da &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Nature&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;a href="http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/folha/ciencia/ult306u502778.shtml"&gt;Urina pode indicar fase de câncer de próstata&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ali tem, inclusive, um texto mais elaborado tratando de descrever a metabolômica, espetacular ramo da ciência baseado em laboratório, que promete muito avanço na compreensão das doenças, bem como sua prevenção, diagnóstico e tratamento. Os frutos da metabolômica já estão sendo colhidos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toda esta movimentação científica faz crer que, em um futuro não muito distante, um laboratório clínico vai oferecer uma lista diferente de exames de bioquímica clínica básica. Vejamos o estudo acima: nele foram utilizadas 110 amostras de sangue, 110 amostras de urina, e 46 amostras de tecido porstático. Nelas, foram analisadas em torno de 1100 diferentes produtos metabólicos, de onde se destacaram 10 compostos mais presentes em amostras provenientes de pacientes com câncer de próstata. Destes, a sarcosina foi apontada como o marcador mais promissor de doença, por se apresentar elevado em um tipo de amostra não invasiva, a urina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A partir disto, realizaram mais investigações utilizando a sarcosina, inclusive com a comprovação de que linhagens celulares cancerosas depletadas da enzima glicina-N-metil transferase, que converte a glicina em sarcosina tinham sua capacidade de invasão atenuada. Por outro lado, a adição de sarcosina, ou bloqueio da enzima que a degrada, o que aumentaria sua concentração no meio, induzia ao desenvolvimento de características de agressividade, mesmo em linhagens celulares prostáticas benignas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A confirmar o achado, este será um marcador urinário incorporado à rotina clínica, desde que duas condições ocorram: capacidade metodológica de detecção de moléculas pequenas, e condição pré-analítica de tratamento de amostras, já que as concentrações podem estar sujeitas a uma série de fatores relacionados à estabilidade do analito na amostra, bem como a redução de possíveis interferentes às reações, já que a urina apresenta composição extremamente variável entre diferentes indivíduos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dê uma olhada em um laudo exemplo do laboratorio &lt;a href="http://www.metametrix.com/DirectoryOfServices/pdf/pdf_sample_0010AminoAcids40-Plasma.pdf"&gt;Metametrix&lt;/a&gt;, com um exemplo de laudo metabolômico. Este é o resultado de um exame cuja maioria das informações não tem sentido aparente, e é provável que os avanços metabolômicos indiquem analitos para serem avaliados individualmente em situações clínicas distintas.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2395276533114094583-959368410996741838?l=labbrasil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/feeds/959368410996741838/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2395276533114094583&amp;postID=959368410996741838' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/959368410996741838'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/959368410996741838'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/2009/02/sarcosina-e-o-cancer-de-prostata.html' title='A Sarcosina e o Câncer de Próstata'/><author><name>Mauricio Pacheco de Andrade</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395276533114094583.post-2579307806246315594</id><published>2009-02-14T06:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-14T06:40:03.939-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Mais um</title><content type='html'>Amigos, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Encontrei mais um endereço que tem algum conteúdo para baixar: trata-se do blog &lt;a href="http://profkid.blogspot.com/"&gt;profkid&lt;/a&gt;, e lá se encontra algum material e links para baixar.

However, the influence of statins on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and what effect this could potentially have on prostate cancer diagnosis are unknown. METHODS: We conducted a longitudinal study of 1214 men who were prescribed a statin between 1990 and 2006 at the Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center who were free of prostate cancer, had not undergone prostate surgery or taken medications known to alter androgen levels and who had at least one PSA value within 2 years before and at least one PSA value within 1 year after starting a statin. The change in PSA from before to after statin treatment was analyzed as a continuous variable using the Wilcoxon signed rank test. The association between change in PSA and change in cholesterol parameters (low-density lipoprotein [LDL], high-density lipoprotein [HDL], and total cholesterol) was analyzed using multivariate linear regression. All statistical tests were two-sided. RESULTS: Mean (SD) age when starting statins was 60.3 (8.3) years; median prestatin PSA concentration was 0.9 (1.9) ng/mL; and mean prestatin LDL cholesterol concentration was 144 (34) mg/dL. After starting a statin, the median LDL decline was 27.5%, and the median PSA decline was 4.1% (P &lt; .001, for both comparisons). Changes in PSA concentration were strongly associated with statin dose and changes in LDL levels. For every 10% decrease in LDL after starting a statin, PSA levels declined by 1.64 (95 % confidence interval [CI] = 0.64% to 2.65%, p = .001). Among men most likely to be under consideration for prostate biopsy (prestatin PSA levels &gt; or =2.5 ng/mL, n = 188), those with &gt;41% declines in LDL (highest quartile) after starting a statin experienced a 17.4% (95% CI = 10.0% to 24.9%) decline in serum PSA. CONCLUSIONS: PSA levels declined by a statistically significant extent after initiation of statin treatment. The reduction was most pronounced among men with the largest LDL declines and those with PSA levels that would make them candidates for prostate biopsy. By lowering PSA levels, statins may complicate cancer detection, although further studies are needed to quantify the clinical significance of this effect.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="pmid"&gt;PMID: 18957682 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="pmid"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2395276533114094583-793783423507123818?l=labbrasil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/feeds/793783423507123818/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2395276533114094583&amp;postID=793783423507123818' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/793783423507123818'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2395276533114094583/posts/default/793783423507123818'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://labbrasil.blogspot.com/2009/02/o-uso-de-statinas-pode-interferir-nos.html' title='O uso de statinas pode interferir nos valores de PSA'/><author><name>Mauricio Pacheco de Andrade</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395276533114094583.post-4129425175469828780</id><published>2009-02-04T17:20:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-04T17:29:17.729-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Deu na SBPC</title><content type='html'>Achei no excelente site da Soc Bras Patologia Clínica, os materiais preparados pelas doutoras Claudia M M Dias e Derliane Oliveira, para uma mesa redonda intitulada &lt;a href="http://www.sbpc.org.br/profissional/noticia.diverso.php?id=53&amp;amp;tp=1"&gt;Não-conformidades: como tratá-las de forma eficaz?&lt;/a&gt; (42º Congresso Brasileiro de Patologia Clínica/Medicina Laboratorial, em São Paulo).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trata-se de um belo material, a ser visto por qualquer interessado no assunto de Tratamento de Não Conformidades, em laboratórios clínicos.

Assim, a análise retrospectiva dos dados provenientes do "mundo real" pode efetivamente produzir conhecimento útil, como no estabelecimento de valores de referência, na análise do comportamento cronobiologico de resultados de pacientes, na melhoria do controle objetivo da qualidade dos processos, e finalmente como padrão de auditoria dos processos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No blog ipathology (http://www.ipathology.com/ipathology/), Anthony Killeen dicute sobre esta coincidência, baseado em dois editoriais: &lt;a href="http://acb.rsmjournals.com/cgi/content/full/46/1/1"&gt;Annals of Clinical Biochemistry (46) 1-2, 2009&lt;/a&gt;; e &lt;a href="http://www.clinchem.org/cgi/content/extract/55/1/15"&gt;Clinical Chemistry (55:15-17, 2009)&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Além disso, outro editorial do &lt;a href="http://laboratory-manager.advanceweb.com/Editorial/Content/Editorial.aspx?CC=191920"&gt;Advance for Administrators of the Laboratory&lt;/a&gt;, discute a respeito dos usos administrativos do uso de &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;data mining&lt;/span&gt; para aperfeiçoamento dos processos laboratoriais. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um artigo interessante publicado na &lt;a href="http://www.clinchem.org/cgi/content/abstract/55/2/313"&gt;Clinical Chemistry&lt;/a&gt; trata da variação sazonal de resultados de PCRus em uma população, significativa do ponto de vista clínico, apontando uma amplitude média (variação em relação à média) de 0.16 mg/L durante as estações do ano. Desta forma, segundo os autores, houve um aumento de 20% no percentual de participantes classificado como pertencentes à categoria alto risco (maior ou igual a 3 mg/L) durante o final do outono e início do inverno. Este foi um estudo com 534 adultos "saudáveis". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fico feliz, porque isso coincide com alguns trabalhos desenvolvidos nesta área especificamente, como na análise cronobiológica de resultados gerais de pacientes, e avaliação de valores de referência.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aí vão alguns, apresentados no 20 IFCC WorldLab, de Fortaleza, todos realizados no Laboratório Alvaro:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EVALUATION OF CIRCASEPTAN RHYTHMICITY IN SERUM CHOLESTEROL, GLUCOSE AND TRIGLYCERIDE LEVELS, IN ADULT POPULATION OF SOUTH OF BRASIL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A PROPOSED DATA STRUCTURE FOR APPLICATION IN INVESTIGATION OF ANALYTICAL PROCESSES IN CLINICAL LABORATORIES&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Outra hora disponibilizo os conteúdos,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um abraço&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maurício Pacheco de Andrade&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS: Faço tributo ao meu pai, Eneo Pacheco de Andrade, bioquímico por mais de 40 anos, que faleceu em 12 de janeiro último, em sua cidade, Lages (SC).
