Laboratory medicine and technology

The field of medicine known as pathology is concerned with understanding the causes of disease, the procedures used to test for disease, and the reporting of diagnostic tests. In order to do this, it examines alterations in the body's tissues, blood, and other bodily fluids.

The International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine's role in laboratory medicine's future to highlight the advantages, limitations, and potential inherent bias of the forecasting process, a chronological history of forecasts for the future of laboratory medicine going back to 1887 was compiled. The review looked at point-of-care testing, telemedicine, micro-, nano-, and proteomics technology, as well as evidence-based medicine, automation and robotics, computing and information technology, analytical techniques, and histology and microscopy. Since this comprehensive historical analysis,

 


Molecular diagnostics, near patient testing, image analysis, robotics, and information management are the five technologies that will have the biggest influence on the practise of laboratory medicine over the next ten years. Each day, more molecular pathology tests with potential clinical applications are added to the list. Some, such as tests for human immune deficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus, currently are accessible as commercial kits. Quality assessment and competency testing programmes still are evolving. DNA oncology diagnostics, such as t(9;22) translocation and T- and B-cell gene rearrangements, have shown clinical usefulness in specific situations and have been effective in detecting small numbers of tumour cells. Planning antenatal management for mothers at risk can benefit from tests for monogenetic disorders like sickle cell disease.

 

Medical laboratory technicians frequently take samples of patients' bodily fluids, tissues, and other materials, test them and analyse them, then share their findings with doctors.

Types of Medical Laboratory Technologists

Ø  Technologists in the field of microbiology deal with bacteria and other microbes.

Ø  The immune system's reaction to foreign bodies is the focus of immunology technologists' work.

Ø  Blood bank technicians gather, check, sort, and make blood ready for transfusions.

Ø  Clinical chemistry technicians examine the chemical and hormonal composition of bodily fluids.

Ø  Under a microscope, cytotechnologists look for variations in cells that could result in cancer.

technology to find and analyse biomarkers for clinical care is the emphasis of the medical specialty of laboratory medicine. It has made it possible to use a data-driven approach to disease prediction, screening, diagnosis, risk stratification, choice of treatment, treatment monitoring, and patient prognosis. In addition, the use of laboratory medicine has made it possible to gather crucial, objective data that may be used to support policy decisions and gauge population health.



 

Further improvements in paediatric medicine can only be made with the help of technological advancements in laboratory medicine. These developments must concentrate on enhancing knowledge of the pathophysiology and physiology of childhood illnesses, increasing the accuracy of elucidating pathology, enhancing laboratory testing accessibility, particularly for underserved communities due to socioeconomic factors or geographic regions, and utilising data for informed decision making. In a world that is changing quickly, paediatric laboratory medicine is in a good position to take the lead in the effort to improve child health.

 

KEY TERMS

Ø  Tests used in blood banking to identify and prepare blood components that are compatible for transfusion include typing, antibody screening, and cross matching.

Ø  Tests for measuring trace metals, medicines, poisons, lipids, proteins, hormones, enzymes, and electrolytes are known as "chemistry tests.

Ø  Cytogenetic techniques, Methods for counting chromosomes, identifying defective chromosomes, and locating disease-causing genes

Ø  Tests to count and categorise blood cells, identify blood problems, such as coagulation abnormalities.

Ø  Cutting, staining, and mounting of specimens for microscopic analysis by pathologists are all histology operations.

Ø  Immunology tests – Exams that assess an individual's capacity to fight off infections, identify autoimmune disorders, allergies, and infectious diseases, as well as assess the tissue's suitability for organ transplantation.

Ø  A medical laboratory technician is a clinical laboratory employee that is capable of handling all testing levels, as well as processing specimens and performing other lab tasks including quality control monitoring

Pathology Lab Techniques: From Microscopes to Genetic Testing

Image
  Pathology Lab Techniques: From Microscopes to Genetic Testing In the realm of pathology, the laboratory is where the magic happens. Pathologists and lab technicians use a variety of techniques and tools to uncover the mysteries of disease. In this blog post, we'll take a journey through the various lab techniques that play a pivotal role in pathology : Microscopy in Pathology : Begin with an exploration of how traditional light microscopy remains the backbone of pathology, allowing pathologists to examine tissue and cellular structures in detail. Histopathology : Delve into the art of preparing and staining tissue samples to visualize cellular structures and identify abnormalities, making it the cornerstone of diagnosing diseases. Cytopathology : Discover how the examination of individual cells from various bodily fluids, like Pap smears, plays a crucial role in cancer detection and diagnosis. Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Learn how IHC uses antibodies to identify spec...

Track 11: Cancer Cytopathology

Image
What types of cytology? Cytology encompasses various specialized fields and techniques tailored to different areas of study and medical practice. Here are some common types of cytology: Diagnostic Cytology: This involves examining cells obtained from different body tissues or fluids to diagnose diseases, such as cancer, infections, or inflammatory conditions. It's often used in conjunction with histology (the study of tissues) to provide a comprehensive diagnosis. Gynecologic Cytology: This branch focuses on examining cells collected from the female reproductive system, primarily the cervix, for the early detection of cervical cancer and other abnormalities. Pap smears are a common example of gynecologic cytology used for cervical cancer screening. Non-Gynecologic Cytology: This includes the examination of cells obtained from sites other than the female reproductive system. It encompasses various body fluids and organs such as the respiratory tract (sputum cytology), thyroi...
