Laboratory Hematology

AbstractThe goal of harmonizing laboratory testing is contributing to improving the quality of patient care and ultimately ameliorating patient outcome. The complete blood and leukocyte differential counts are among the most frequently requested clinical laboratory tests. The morphological assessment of peripheral blood cells (PB) through microscopic examination of properly stained blood smears is still considered a hallmark of laboratory hematology. Nevertheless, a variable inter-observer experience and the different terminology used for characterizing cellular abnormalities both contribute to the current lack of harmonization in blood smear revision. In 2014, the Working Group on Diagnostic Hematology of the Italian Society of Clinical Chemistry and Clinical Molecular Biology (WGDH-SIBioC) conducted a national survey, collecting responses from 78 different Italian laboratories. The results of this survey highlighted a lack of harmonization of interpretative comments in hematology, which prompted the WGDH-SIBioC to develop a project on “Harmonization of interpretative comments in the laboratory hematology report”, aimed at identifying appropriate comments and proposing a standardized reporting system. The comments were then revised and updated according to the 2016 revision of the World Health Organization classification of hematologic malignancies. In summary, the purpose of revaluating comments was aimed at: (a) reducing their overall number, (b) standardizing the language, (c) providing information that could be easily comprehended by clinicians and patients, (d) increasing the quality of the clinical information, and (e) suggesting additional diagnostic tests when necessary.

An ideal definition of a reference coordinate system should meet the following general requirements:1. It should be as conceptually simple as possible, so its philosophy is well understood by the users.2. It should imply as few physical assumptions as possible. Wherever they are necessary, such assumptions should be of a very general character and, in particular, they should not be dependent upon astronomical and geophysical detailed theories.3. It should suggest a materialization that is dynamically stable and is accessible to observations with the required accuracy.

The focus of discussion in Working Group 3 was on the Thermodynamic Properties as determined spectroscopically, including the observational techniques and the theoretical modeling of physical processes responsible for the emission spectrum. Recent advances in observational techniques and theoretical concepts make this discussion particularly timely. It is wise to remember that the determination of thermodynamic parameters is not an end in itself and that these are interesting chiefly for what they can tell us about the energetics and mass transport in prominences.

La légionellose, un problème de tourisme? La légionellose est une maladie assez rare, mais elle suit souvent un cours prolongé et compliqué, même chez des patients immunocompétents. Le diagnostic est important pour des raisons thérapeutiques et épidémiologiques. De 1998 à 2001 on a observé à l'hôpital cantonal de Coire six cas de légionellose, dont quatre étaient associés aux voyages et un autre concernait un employé d'un hôtel local. Par suite de l'augmentation de la mobilité internationale les recherches épidémiologiques sur la localisation de la source infectieuse et les procédés hygiéniques deviennent plus difficiles. Une organisation européenne, le «European Working Group for Legionella Infections» (EWGLI/www.ewgli.org) a étudié ce problème. La question de la forme sous laquelle le public doit être informé des sources de légionelles fait l'object d'une discussion.
