Pathologists' Assistant

Over 500 practice problems with answers, showing step-by-step calculations. Guidance for performing math functions on a calculator or computer. Explanations and examples on how to apply essential math skills to enzyme chemistry, hematology, urinalysis, molecular biology, and molecular diagnostics.

Introduction to Statistical Analysis of Laboratory Data presents a detailed discussion of important statistical concepts and methods of data presentation and analysis. Provides detailed discussions on statistical applications including a comprehensive package of statistical tools that are specific to the laboratory experiment process. Introduces terminology used in many applications such as the interpretation of assay design and validation as well as "fit for purpose" procedures including real world examples Includes a rigorous review of statistical quality control procedures in laboratory methodologies and influences on capabilities. Presents methodologies used in the areas such as method comparison procedures, limit and bias detection, outlier analysis and detecting sources of variation. Analysis of robustness and ruggedness including multivariate influences on response are introduced to account for controllable/uncontrollable laboratory conditions.

This book presents a systematic approach to solving dosage calculation problems using dimensional analysis. The book uses the simple-to-complex approach, focusing on understanding how to problem solve, and is, therefore, divided into four sections. 1.) Clinical Calculations introduces the concepts and includes a comprehensive pre-test. 2.) Practice Problems allows students the opportunity to refine their skills 3.)Case Studies (45) helps the student relate dosage calculations to real clinical situations. 4.) A Comprehensive Post-Test contains 25 questions allowing the instructor to assess the student's mastery of solving clinical calculations using dimensional analysis.
