Article Synopsis
  • The paper evaluates the performance of the Kodak EKTACHEM GLU/BUN Analyzer for measuring glucose and urea using established NCCLS protocols.
  • It involved a multicentre trial across four European countries and employed specific experiments to assess precision and accuracy.
  • The study highlighted challenges in compliance and sample collection for comparative measurements while noting consistent results across different laboratories in replication tests.

Article Synopsis
  • A new micromethod for measuring 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone in blood on filter paper has been created, which is fast, simple, and just as accurate as traditional methods.
  • This method has been specifically tested for screening congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) caused by 21-hydroxylase deficiency, showing good results compared to another established tracer method.
  • The method successfully diagnosed CAH in a neonate, indicating its potential as an effective screening tool, though more infant studies are needed to fully assess its advantages and disadvantages.

Article Synopsis
  • Studied 135 subjects, including 100 normal individuals, 10 with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 10 with angina, 10 undergoing cardiac catheterization, and 5 after open heart surgery, to assess the effectiveness of various cardiac markers.
  • Evaluated serum samples for markers like lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), CK-MB, and myoglobin (MG) using different assays, finding myoglobin to be a particularly sensitive indicator for diagnosing AMI.
  • Concluded that myoglobin levels rise quickly after the onset of pain in AMI patients, and CK-RIA is the best test for measuring infarct size, while LDH (H4) is useful for assessing myocardial

We have examined alkaline phosphatase in five commercial sera employing three analyzers. Alkaline phosphatase in three samples is underestimated or overestimated according to the analyzers used. Therefore we have studied the isoenzymatic fractions employing the fractionation of alkaline phosphatase on celluloseacetate.
