Medical Laboratory Technology (Medical Laboratory Assistant)

This history for the Medical Laboratory Technology program was written to commemorate DMACC\u27s 50th anniversary celebration during the 2015-16 academic year

Medical technology advances from space research

Details of medical research and development programs, particularly an integrated medical laboratory, as derived from space technology are given. The program covers digital biotelemetry systems, automatic visual field mapping equipment, sponge electrode caps for clinical electroencephalograms, and advanced respiratory analysis equipment. The possibility of using the medical laboratory in ground based remote areas and regional health care facilities, as well as long duration space missions is discussed

Computer laboratory in medical education for medical students

Five generations of the second year students at the Zagreb University School of Medicine were interviewed through an anonymous questionnaire on their use of personal computers, Internet, computer laboratories and computer-assisted education in general. Results show advance in using the information and communication technology by medical students during the period from 1998/99 to 2002/03. However, their positive opinion about computer laboratory depends on installed capacities: the better technology in the computer laboratory – the more positive opinion of it

SPEAKING ASSESSMENT FOR STUDENTS OF MEDICAL LABORATORY TECHNOLOGY

Despite the fact that English is adopted as compulsory subject in higher education and extended period of learning, students still have low proficiency level. Thus, studies on students’ proficiency level need to be conducted for an effectively designed classroom activities. The purpose of this study was to assess students’ speaking skills to obtain a comprehensive review. The population of this study was students of Akademi Kesehatan John Paul II Pekanbaru. The instrument of this study was rubric assessment with four aspects assessed: grammar, vocabulary, fluency, and pronunciation. The average speaking performance was 2.25 in satisfactory level. The lowest result was grammar with the average score of 2.56 in satisfactory category, whereas the highest result was pronunciation, 3.08, good category. The results of vocabulary and fluency were 2.79 and 2.82 in satisfactory level. In conclusion, students’ speaking performances were still in satisfactory level. Improvements were needed in grammar, vocabulary and fluenc

Message from the Director Institute of Health Care

Fifteen years have passed since the Institute of Health Care was founded within the University of Malta. In line with advances in health care professional education worldwide, and indeed with advances in medical knowledge, technology, health service delivery and care, the University of Malta forged ahead and raised the professional education of nurses, midwives and professions allied to medicine onto an academic platform. The Institute was set up to develop diploma, degree and post-graduate courses in Communication Therapy, Dental Technology, Environmental Health Science, Medical Laboratory Science, Midwifery, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, 2002, Physiotherapy, Podiatry, and Radiography. Furthermore, the Institute earned a sound academic standing in the interdisciplinary Master and Post Qualification Diploma in Health Services Management that has attracted medical and pharmacy graduates in addition to our own health care graduates. It is with great satisfaction to report that fifteen years down the road, the Institute of Health Care has steadily grown in esteem and recognition both within our University as well as Swith our counterparts internationally.peer-reviewe

Laboratory Generated Artifacts in Plasma Amino acid Quantitation

The pace of physicians’ involvement in amino acid metabolism has been enormous in the last five decades. With further development of technology to identify and quantitate upto picomoles of amino acids, their metabolites and related peptides, diagnosis and effective medical intervention in cases of inherited metabolic disorders have been well within the reach of the clinician. Automatic amino acid analyzers have become an essential part of major medical and research centers around the world. The technology has come indeed as a boon to physicians who in particular deal with inherited defects of amino acid metabolism. However, the technology comes with the risk of major deviations from the actual results when a few minor variations are not looked into. Trivial variations in basic steps of obtaining the sample, the choice of anticoagulant, hemolysis etc. can cause significant variations in the resulting values, particularly while dealing with inherited defects of amino acid metabolism and their treatment/management. Effects of such factors are revisited here for the benefit of the modern day laboratory personnel

Southwestern Oklahoma State University-Sayre medical laboratory technology student Aaron Fultz of Haskell placed third in this year’s American Medical Technologists’ Student Writing Awards contest

MEDT 330 Clinical Laboratory Science: Medical Technology Practicum II

Course syllabus for MEDT 330 Clinical Laboratory Science: Medical Technology Practicum II Course description: The student will review basic microbiology skills and perform identification of additional micro-organisms. The emphasis will be on gram negative enteric bacilli, non-fermentative gram negative bacilli and acid-fast bacilli. The identification and isolation of pathogenic organisms from clinical specimens will also be stressed

Monolithic Integration of a Plasmonic Sensor with CMOS Technology

Monolithic integration of nanophotonic sensors with CMOS detectors can transform the laboratory based nanophotonic sensors into practical devices with a range of applications in everyday life. In this work, by monolithically integrating an array of gold nanodiscs with the CMOS photodiode we have developed a compact and miniaturized nanophotonic sensor system having direct electrical read out. Doing so eliminates the need of expensive and bulky laboratory based optical spectrum analyzers used currently for measurements of nanophotonic sensor chips. The experimental optical sensitivity of the gold nanodiscs is measured to be 275 nm/RIU which translates to an electrical sensitivity of 5.4 V/RIU. This integration of nanophotonic sensors with the CMOS electronics has the potential to revolutionize personalized medical diagnostics similar to the way in which the CMOS technology has revolutionized the electronics industry
