This article defines the scope of the post-analytical process. This process transforms the results after quality control review into validated results, interpreted by authorized "medical biologists", reported and communicated to the clinicians and patients. This phase includes the treatment of the samples after analysis, their storage and disposal and records archiving. This phase is a key step of the examination involved often in dysfunctions that could hardly harm the patient. These errors are usually the consequence of failing in the control of organization, lack of communication with the clinicians and defect of adaptation to their needs. Examples of quality indicators are proposed, as well as a model of clinico-biological contract.

Investigating Serum Cortisol Dynamics and Cardiovascular Impacts Amid University Exam Stress: A Pre-Post Cohort Study.
Acta Cardiol Sin
November 2024
College of Pharmacy, University of Duhok, Duhok City, Kurdistan Region, Iraq.
Objective: Our objective was to investigate the perceived stress levels among pharmacy students enrolled at the University of Duhok both prior to and following examination periods, with a concurrent assessment of potential cardiovascular effects.
Methods: The study included 49 participants from the College of Pharmacy at the University of Duhok and utilized a pre-post cohort design. High-stress pre-examination assessments were scheduled at 8:30 AM on the day of the examination, and low-stress post-examination assessments were also conducted at 8:30 AM over a two-week period without academic examinations.
Impact of Pilates mat-based exercises on knee kinematics during running.
J Bodyw Mov Ther
January 2023
Department of Physical Therapy, Augustana University, Sioux Falls, SD, USA. Electronic address:
Introduction: Core strengthening, balance, and flexibility programs such as Pilates have been advocated to positively impact running mechanics and prevent lower extremity injuries. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a 12-week mat-based Pilates exercise program on dynamic knee valgus alignment in runners.
Methods: Thirty-four novice runners, including young male and female adults performed a running protocol at baseline.
Medical Simulation-Based Learning Outcomes in Pre-Clinical Medical Education.

December 2020
Department of Simulation, Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine, Dothan, USA.
Introduction Medical simulation is widely used in the United States medical curriculum. However, learning outcomes based on simulation have yet to be reported. In this study, we aim to characterize the objective performance of first- and second-year medical students following eight weeks of medical simulation-based learning.

Magn Reson Imaging
December 2020
Department of Cardiology, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, MA, USA; Department of Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.
Purpose: Current cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) examinations require expert planning, multiple breath holds, and 2D imaging. To address this, we sought to develop and validate a comprehensive free-breathing 3D cine function and flow CMR examination using a steady-state free precession (SSFP) sequence to depict anatomy fused with a spatially registered phase contrast (PC) sequence for blood flow analysis.
Methods: In a prospective study, 25 patients underwent a CMR examination which included a 3D cine SSFP sequence and a 3D cine PC (also known as 4D flow) sequence acquired during free-breathing and after the administration of a gadolinium-based contrast agent.
Non-conformities in tissue typing laboratory: Croatian experience.
Transfus Med
December 2019
Tissue Typing Laboratory, Clinical Institute for Transfusion Medicine, Clinical Hospital Centre Rijeka, Rijeka, Croatia.
Objectives: Our study aimed to determine the frequency and type of non-conformities that occurred in the tissue typing laboratory (TTL), Rijeka, Croatia, in order to evaluate the quality of testing and compliance with the requirements of the quality management system (QMS).
Background: The QMS in a TTL should lead to improvements in the accuracy and timeliness of results. One of its essential elements is non-conformity management.
