    With the improvement of science and technology, especially the electronic technology and the rapid development of computer technology, the structure and properties of biochemistry analyzers are greatly improved. 21 century is a century of information and molecular biology, computer and network will deeply into every corner of the daily life. 

    Biochemistry analyzer is an automatic operation equipment to make the process of biological chemical analysis used physical, chemical, and computer technology. Automated process can include: recognition and transfer sample, loading samples and reagents, controlling reaction and testing conditions, such as temperature, the wavelength, the time), data processing and system maintenance. The classification of biochemistry analyzer according to its automation degree can be divided into fully automatic and semi-automatic type; Press and project number and determination can be divided into the single channel (every time can only detect a project) and multi-channel (at the same time can determine multiple projects) two parts. According to the use of reagents and system is different closed system (special reagent) and open systems (general reagent) of the points. According to the different ways and instruments work can be divided into continuous flow type (all analysis in the process of continuous piping system complete), centrifugal (filling reagent and sample, respectively by mixing the reaction and centrifugal force), vertical (each reaction are in separate container in) and dry chip (use dry type reagent). 

    After decades of development, biochemistry analyzer has been widely used in clinical inspection and become indispensable to the clinical laboratory analysis equipment. At present, most laboratory by use of the automation of biochemical analyzer, multi-channel, open, vertical products, in clinical laboratory completed in biochemistry, immune chemical and electrolyte and many other project detection.

Types of Extraoral X-Rays


    There are several types of extraoral X-rays that your dentist may take.
      Panoramic X-raysshow the entire mouth area -- all the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws -- on a single X-ray. This type of X-ray is useful for detecting the position of fully emerged as well as emerging teeth, can identify impacted teeth, and aid in the diagnosis of tumors.
      Tomogramsshow a particular layer or "slice" of the mouth while blurring out all other layers. This type of is useful for examining structures that are difficult to clearly see -- for instance, because other structures are in very close proximity to the structure to be viewed.
      Cephalometric projectionsshow the entire side of the head. This type of X-ray is useful for examining the teeth in relation to the jaw and profile of the individual. Orthodontists use this type of X-ray to develop their treatment plans.
Sialographyinvolves visualization of the salivary glands following the injection of a dye. The dye, called a radiopaque contrast agent, is injected into the salivary glands so that the organ can be seen on the X-ray film (the organ is a soft tissue that would not otherwise be seen with an X-ray). Dentists might order this type of test to look for salivary gland problems, such as blockages or Sjögren's syndrome.

      Computed tomography, otherwise known as CT scanning, shows the body's interior structures as a three-dimensional image. This type of X-ray, which may be performed in a hospital or radiology center rather than a dentist's office, is used to identify problems in the bones of the face, such as tumors or fractures. CT scans are also used to evaluate bone for the placement of dental implants and difficult extractions. This helps the surgeon avoid possible complications during and after a surgical procedure.

What Is RDW on a Blood Test? (2)


Normal Reference Range for RDW Blood Test
      Normal RDW values are between 11 and 14 percent, with an optimum RDW value range of 13 percent. When RDW values rise above normal levels, several disorders become suspect. According to the Archives of Internal Medicine, RDW counts may also play an important role in predicting mortality, especially in patients who have cardiovascular disease and cancer. In fact, patients who test higher than the normal reference range on an RDW test may suffer more health risks than those patients whose RDW values are lower.


      Anisocytosis
      Anisocytosis is diagnosed when the RDW levels in a blood test indicate excessively high values of variably shaped red blood cells. In the book "Diagnostic Hematology," author Norman Beck explains that the presence of anisocytosis in a diagnostic blood test is so common that it is often dismissed as a component while making a diagnosis. But, breakthroughs in medicine have shed new light on the importance of anisocytosis during patient evaluation. When anisocytosis is measured against other blood cell values, the high RBC values can help make a better determination of the type of anemia present in a patient.


      Consult Your Health Care Provider
      Blood tests(hematology analyzer machine) and their results are a piece of the overall diagnostic picture and are not meant to be the sole tool used for diagnosis or prognosis of illness. Consulting with your health care provider for a full physical as well as an assessment of symptoms is the best method of understanding your blood test results.

What Are the Applications of Hematology?(2)


Aided by clinical laboratory work, hematologists also offer important insights into some non-blood specific conditions as well. For example, these researchers often work together with oncologists to explore the complexities and potential treatments for cancers. The use of bone marrow due to its blood-cell generating capacities also introduces promising research into stem cells. Unmarked stem cells hold the potential for treatments of a wide variety of ailments.
      In addition, hematology plays an important role in blood transfusions, or the exchange of blood between two organisms. Several factors must be considered in this process, from determining the health of the donor blood to matching blood types between donors and recipients. All such concerns may be addressed by a hematologist.
      Since blood always plays such a significant role in human body, it can also increase knowledge of organs, particularly the heart and the blood vessels. Diseases involving these systems are among the most prevalent and the most fatal in many regions. Recognizing factors like diet and exercise impact the cardiovascular system helps medical professionals, government officials, and society as a whole develop programs and raise awareness to promote a healthy and balanced body.
      There are some medical equipments can detect hematology to see if there are some potential diseases, for example, hematology analyzer -- can detect the parameters of the series of red blood cells and hemoglobin, platelet and leukocyte in the blood.

What Are the Applications of Hematology?(1)


Blood is the main area of study in hematology, so hematology research focuses on the substance itself, organs that form blood, diseases involving blood, and blood-forming organs. Most hematology analyzer applications are thus found in the medical field.
      Blood is a carrier of a lot of substances throughout the body. In many respects, it is the messenger between not only various parts of the body, but also between the body and the outside world. Blood supplies nutrients and other substances. Scientists may therefore use blood's unique standing to deliver medicines and other substances in a quick and valuable fashion.
      Hematologists have uncovered several components that sustain blood. Each of these components can be studied to better understand the human body’s function. For example, platelets, help medical professionals understand the process of clotting and therefore develop aids for this process. White blood cells and red blood cells tell scientists much about the body’s disease-fighting capabilities and its subsequent vulnerabilities to disease.
      Due to the complexities of the blood, it is susceptible to a wide range of threats. Through hematology analyzer, researchers can better understand the workings of blood diseases like anemia or leukemia. This understanding comes greater hope for treatments and cures.

The 5 Ds that Make Patients Bad Partners in Healthcare

From the point view of patient's, an important focus of healthcare reform is to directly interact with their healthcare decisions. While this is a laudable goal, there are a number barriers need to be cleared in order to make it viable. Why most patients are not good partners when it comes to healthcare decisions for themselves or loved ones? I believe there are at least five reasons :
      Distress
  Patients come to a physician typically only after a disease or process has progressed to the point that it is no longer comfortable for them to ignore it. This distress, by itself, puts the patient at a disadvantage for making judgments and assessing importance.
 
  Denial
When faced with any significant issue, particularly one affecting health, most patients move relatively quickly through the phases of grief, from shock to denial. Feelings like, “it's not that bad,” or, “that doctor doesn't know what he's talking about,” are common. Denying the disease itself or the cause of the disease frequently leads to treating symptoms and not the illness.
  Dollar
  When presented with different options for therapy or diagnosis, cost is frequently never discussed. When it is, the more subjective idea of the "value" of each alternative is more difficult to convey. This is because physicians and other providers have spent years in school trying to get a handle on just that question.
  Data
  Patients, armed with the latest Google search present themselves to their provider with a complaint list and everything they "know" about their illness. Physicians can have difficulty sorting through what is true or reasonably true versus the latest ad, wrapped up as real information.
  Dose
  From the radiology standpoint, patients are being told that their diagnostic examination will lead to cancer — at least that's what many remember from the latest media blast. In ALARA terms, sometimes the highest dosage radiology examination( taken by a mobile x ray machine, c arm, digital x ray machine, etc), is the one has the biggest value. The exam with the least value and lowest cost offen has the lowest dose and sometimes it's a mixture of highest cost — lowest value or lowest cost moderate value.

To be an X-Ray Technician ! Or not ?


The x- ray technicians is that person who is qualified, trained and a strength employee who is expert in scientific exploitation of X-ray tools and may be able to take pictures of the body’s interior bones, organs and etc. So after considered by the doctor’s problem can detect the state of the ailment and start the further action.
      X-Ray investigation is firstly pedestal in the branch of farming and enchanting into explanation the degree of numerous X-ray technicians for the further training taking more than two years previous to the actual startup the work in numerous places such as, in the government or private hospitals, radiology workshops, physicians, dental clinics, etc.
      For the training of x- ray technicians there are so many institute such as trade schools, wherever learners study the course and found essentials information about the process of permanent and manageable X-ray arrangement of the patients before the actual X-ray ray is focuses on him as it is for a small epoch in the precious region and the picture is uncovered to the photo-sensitive shield reserved in a small package from side to side which solitary X-rays can overtake. The expansion and advantage of photosensitive plate bare the actual pointed picture exposes behind the expansion progresses.
      Several students also study extra education connected actions in esteem to radiology in analytic submissions of ultrasound method and magnetic reverberation imaging, computer-aided tomography examination.
      The career of a radiologist wants outstanding community relationships and most important proficient exercise because the expansion of community relationships is accommodating the whole course. The patients that exaggerated by the extended anguish awkward approach to assume, as they are drained of being incapable to stand the belongings of damage because the incomplete association incapacity to knowledge or to alter the location as deceitful losing, without assist as of everyone.
      These buoyant x- ray technicians can pass a smirk in the features and search for the assistance necessary of them in the prolongation of suitable cure and get back a superior revival.

Digital x ray machines used in hospitals


The quality and information of digital x-ray images can rivals the traditional x-ray imaging. Image processing system can adjust the contrast to get the best visual effects; the rang of imaging is more larger; patients receive less medical x ray radiation; and image information can be stored in disk or CD-ROM, and transmitted. Those are the advantages of digital images.
       Digital image technique now wildly applies in digital radiography. Digital images and traditional X-ray images are taken by the overlapping part of the overall image, therefore, digital radiography can image the parts which traditional x-ray can film, and observation and analysis of DR images are same as conventional x-ray. The difference is that DR image is composed of a certain number of pixels. Digital images are better than traditional x-ray for diagnosing bone structure, cartilage and soft tissue, and it also can analyze the salt content of mineral in quantitative analysis.
       Digital image is easy to show mediastinal structures such as blood vessels and trachea, and the detection of nodules is higher than conventional X-ray imaging, but not better than the traditional x-ray to show the pulmonary interstitial and alveolar disease. Using digital image to do tomography is better than traditional x-ray, and On showing the minimal change disease and intestinal mucosa folds in double contrast radiography, the digital image is better than traditional X-ray imaging.
      Digital radiography is a new imaging technique. It superior to the traditional X-ray imaging in many respects, but to the benefits and price, it is difficult to replace the conventional X-ray imaging. In clinical applications, digital radiography is not like CT and MRI that can not be replaced.

      The prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease, not only dependent on medical knowledge and experience of scientists and thinking to determine to a large extent dependent on the experimental techniques and equipment conditions, the use of such experiments means to make medical treatment technologies used to produce a quantum leap. Since the late 19th century, human beings into the atoms, the electronic age, a number of significant discoveries of natural science has led to tremendous changes in medical equipment, such as diagnostic equipment,x ray machine,MRI in the medical field, promote the development of the medical diagnosis.
      If a hospital does not have more advanced equipment, to catch up with the world advanced level is difficult. The ability of medical equipment and medical science as part of modern medical research work from a sophisticated examination, diagnosis and treatment, will become powerless. Capacity of medical science, including medical workers, medical instruments scientific information, medical labor's social structure and medical scientific potential. It is the people understand the natural ability to transform nature. So, to say the ability of medical instrument is a combination of medical science component.
      Modern hospital management device management is a hospital system in a subsystem, properly handle the normal operation of the hospital system, we must use a series of scientific management techniques and methods, the equipment management system in good working condition.
      To improve the value of the hospital, that hospital social, economic and technical benefits for hospital management purposes. Hospital, hospital equipment is to achieve social and economic benefits of the important conditions, equipment cost is the health system constitutes an important factor in the economy, facilities management are key aspects of economic management of hospitals. medical device company. Device management strengths and weaknesses.

Different Types of Lab Equipment for Medical Use


In a medical laboratory, several tests are conducted on clinical specimens for getting information on the health condition of a patient. In order to help in the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions different types of lab equipment are used.
      Scientists used different lab equipment to conduct experiments, collect data and take measurements. This information helps the medical laboratory scientist to analyze the medical state of a patient and thus proper remedies can be taken. Hospital and physician office laboratories conduct most of the tests and a few of them are conducted in independent laboratories.
      There are some commonly used lab equipment, as following:
      Blood gas analyzers: Blood gas analyzer is an instrument to measure the partial pressures of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide in blood. It is also used to know the acidity of blood. Blood gas reagents are used to determine the amount of gases and also the pH level in blood.
      Microscopes: Microscopes play an important part in a medical laboratory. There are different types of microscopes like fluorescence microscopes, laboratory microscopes, stereo inspection microscopes and educational microscopes.
      Balances: Balances are used for weighing applications in a laboratory. Balances are of several types – mechanical balance, precision balance, and analytical balance.

      Automated Hematology Analyzers for Accuracy in Blood Count Measurement
      For obtaining complete blood count and differential leukocyte count, the hematology automation process should be accurate. If the results are to be accurate, the hematology analyzers you use should be functioning well. Manual calculations might result in errors. But with automated hematology analyzers, you can deliver accurate measuring values for the procedures.
 

      Accuracy was usually questioned while using conventional analyzers. The advent of automated hematology analyzers has put an end to these questions. Innovative inventions integrated into these systems provide more reliable indications. Information available in a single analysis considerably reduces manual intervention and consequent errors. Multiple technologies are integrated in a single device and today, they are available with multi-tasking facility, advanced data management, color screens with color printouts, improved detection capabilities, automated sample handling and other exceptional features for obtaining accurate results.
      Advantages of Using Quality Hematology Analyzers

      To increase productivity in laboratories, the efficiency and accuracy of the hematology analyzers you use matter a lot. When it comes to monitoring and diagnosis of patients’ health problems, obtaining fast and reliable analytical information is vital. This has been made possible with the advanced technological features integrated into these systems. They have the capacity to store months of patient data in a variety of forms. The innovative features of these devices shorten the turnaround time, reduce operational errors and provide real-time QC information.

How to select the ideal hematology analyzer


   
  Looking for the best instrument to suit your needs? You'll save time and money by consulting the treasury of advice offered here.
      This article is not intended to evaluate specific hematology analyzers or to recommend one piece of equipment over another. Rather, it is intended to provide laboratory managers with guidance on selecting an instrument that will best suit their needs.
      Assessment tool, we knew from the start that our search for an outstanding hematology analyzer would be a real challenge. Every representative offered three-part differentials, closed vial sampling, and at least 22 parameters with histograms. They all asserted that their analyzer was the best on the market. Each claimed to have won out consistently over major competitors in side-by-side comparison tests.
     To help judge the individual qualities of each instrument, we developed a comprehensive questionnaire, which we gave to any vendor vying for our business. Each salesperson was asked to complete the survey and return it to us when that manufacturer's instrument was brought into the laboratory for a trial period.
      This document served several purposes. First, it helped eliminate vendors who were clearly unable to meet our needs. Second, certain responses triggered more questions to ask during the evaluation process, Finally, the survey provided important documentation to which we could refer when making our final decision

Bone Age Study (1)


  A bone age study can help doctors estimate the maturity of a child's skeletal system. It's usually done by taking a single X-ray of the left wrist, hand, and fingers. It is a safe and painless procedure that uses a small amount of radiation. The bones on the X-ray image are compared with X-rays images in a standard atlas of bone development, which is based on data from large numbers of other kids of the same gender and age.
      A child's bones, such as those in the fingers and wrist, contain "growing zones" at both ends called growth plates. These plates consist of special cells responsible for the bones' growth in length. Growth plates are easy to spot on an X-ray because they're softer and contain less mineral, making them appear darker on an X-ray image than the rest of the bone.
      As kids grow, growth plates change in appearance on the X-ray images and become thinner, eventually disappearing (this is what is called "closed growth plates"). Because they look different at each age, a doctor can assign a bone age based on the appearance of the bones and growth plates. A child's bone age (also called the skeletal age) is assigned by determining which of the standard X-ray images in the atlas most closely match the appearance of the child's bones on the X-ray.
      A difference between a child's bone age and his or her chronological age might indicate a growth problem. But such differences don't always mean there's a problem, because perfectly healthy kids can have bone ages that differ from their chronological ages.

Diabetes in Children: Preventing High Blood Sugar


 Nowadays, more and more children have get sick like adults, such as high blood sugar. This article mainly introduces high blood sugar of adults. When your children have these symptoms, you’d better go to hospital and take some regular blood test, such as hematology analyzer, microplate reader.
      High blood sugar, also called hyperglycemia, occurs when the sugar (glucose) level in the blood rises above normal. For a person who has diabetes, high blood sugar may be caused by missed oral diabetes medicine or insulin injection, eating too much, skipping physical activity, or illness or stress. The rapid growth during the teen years can also make it harder to keep your child's blood sugar levels within a target range.
      Unlike low blood sugar, high blood sugar usually develops slowly over a period of hours or days. But it can also develop quickly (in just a few hours) if you eat a large meal or miss an insulin dose. Blood sugar levels just above the target range may make a person feel tired and thirsty. If your child's blood sugar level stays higher than normal, his or her body will adjust to that level. Over time, high blood sugar damages the eyes, heart, kidneys, blood vessels, and nerves. If your child's blood sugar continues to rise, his or her kidneys will increase the amount of urine produced and your child can become dehydrated. If your child becomes severely dehydrated, he or she can go into a coma and possibly die.
      Unless you or your child fails to notice the symptoms, you usually have time to treat high blood sugar so that it doesn't become an emergency situation. Three steps can help you prevent high blood sugar problems.
      Test your child's blood sugar often, especially during illnesses or when he or she is not following a normal routine. A child may not have symptoms of high blood sugar, which are fatigue and increased thirst and urination.
      Notify the doctor if your child has frequent high blood sugar levels or the blood sugar level is consistently staying above the target range. The medicine or insulin dosage may need to be adjusted or changed.
