Glossary Term
Refers to the total protein-encoding capability of an organism's genome. It is also used to refer to the actual total expressed protein complement of an organism or to the identifiable proteins of a single tissue or cell type or subcellular compartment.
Glossary Term
The global analysis of cellular proteins. Proteomics uses a combination of sophisticated techniques including two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis, image analysis, mass spectrometry, amino acid sequencing, and bio-informatics to resolve comprehensively, to quantify, and to characterize proteins. The application of proteomics provides major opportunities to elucidate disease mechanisms and to identify new diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets.
Tests
A prothrombin time (PT) test measures how many seconds it takes for a clot to form in a blood sample. Since the results of this test can vary with different labs or test methods, your results may be used to create an INR (international normalized ratio). Using this ratio makes it easier for health care providers to compare and better understand results from different labs or test methods.
Tests
A PTEN genetic test uses a sample of your blood or other body tissue to look for changes in a gene called PTEN . Changes in your genes are also called gene variants or mutations.
Glossary Term
Programs of regular assessment of medical and nursing activities to evaluate the quality of medical care including all actions taken to ensure that standards and procedures are adhered to and that delivered products or services meet performance requirements.
Glossary Term
Set of measurements and inspections taken to verify that performance of equipment and procedures remains within specified limits.
Glossary Term
A study in which the participants are assigned by chance to separate groups to evaluate treatments. The study also includes a control group, which is undergoing the same rigors of the study with placebo treatment or standard treatment. The trial can also be controlled by the addition of a test group to ensure there are no factors present to skew the results and by the inclusion of peer-review analysis by appropriate government officials. 2005

A red cell distribution width (RDW) test measures how much the volume and size of your red blood cells (erythrocytes) varies.
Glossary Term
An application of PCR that measures the products generated during each cycle of the polymerase chain reaction process in order to determine the starting amount of template in the reaction.
