[Biochemical markers of thrombotic complications in the acute period of ischemic stroke].

Aim: To study the profile of biochemical markers of the hemostasis system, to clarify their role and relationships in the pathogenesis of the development of thrombotic complications (TC) of ischemic stroke (IS) and the associated assessment of the possibilities of their diagnostic application.

Materials And Methods: The study group included 302 patients (164 men, 138 women) who were admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of IS within 24 hours of the onset of the disease. The diagnosis was confirmed by computed tomography.

[Proinflammatory laboratory predictors of pneumonia in ischemic stroke patients: prospective study].

Background: Bacterial pneumonia is a frequent complication of ischemic stroke at the hospital stage. The search for prognostic laboratory markers of pneumonia remains an urgent task, as it will allow to individualize the approach to the treatment and rehabilitation of such patients.

Aim: To investigate the prognostic significance of proteins of the acute phase of inflammation, as well as to evaluate them as early predictors of the development of pneumonia in patients with ischemic stroke.

[Laboratory diagnostics in medicine].

The development of clinical laboratory diagnostics is in line with the evidence-based medicine, which requires that clinical decisions have to be based on diagnostic methods with proven informativity. This creates a request for the scientific validity of the use of laboratory researches and application of probabilistic interpretation tools corresponding to the tasks. The concept of indefiniteness (analytical, biological and clinical) is at the heart of interpretation of laboratory results.

[Heart - type fatty acid binding protein in prognosis of ischemic stroke at the hospital stage].

Unlabelled: Heart - type fatty acid binding protein (h-FABP), in addition to myocardium, is also contained in the brain cells. The blood concentration of h-FABP in cerebral ischemia can be a marker of ischemic stroke course.

Aim: To investigate the importance of h-FABP in the prognosis of ischemic stroke (IS).

[The value of in vitro diagnostic testing in the provision of medical care to patients with cardiovascular diseases.].

In vitro diagnostics are used at all stages of patient care. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of laboratory examination on clinical decision-making in providing medical care to patients with a cardiovascular profile. We also took into account the level of financing for the laboratory industry in the Russian Federation.
