AUTHORISED COPIES ARE STAMPED IN GREEN – OFFICIAL COPY Primary Sample Manual – Clinical Chemistry Issue No. 4.05 Effective Date: 15/07/20 Page 5 of 98 EUROFINS BIOMNIS NOTES ON SAMPLE STABILITY The majority of incorrect laboratory test results are due to improper sample collection and transport. For details regarding correct phlebotomy technique and our patient identification requirements, please click here. In order for you to arrange and properly time phlebotomy and sample collection, we have indicated, for each test, its stability after collection. Stability is indicated for whole blood at various temperatures, and for plasma or serum separated from cells, also at various temperatures. Note: RT = room temperature, i.e. 16 – 25 °C. Stability data are taken from the manufacturers’ instructions for use (IFUs), and from the World Health Organisation publication indicated below1. Sample stability data is not available for all tests under all conditions, either in the manufacturers’ IFUs or the published literature. If no information is available, in general, unless otherwise specified (such as when the required sample is whole blood), serum should be centrifuged and separated from cells after completion of clotting (20 – 30 minutes), and transported to the laboratory at 2 – 8 °C. Plasma may be centrifuged and separated from cells immediately after sampling and gently mixing the sample by inverting the tube 10 times. It should then be transported to the laboratory at 2 – 8 °C. Whole blood should be transported at 2 – 8 °C and reach the laboratory as soon as possible. However, please check each test for specific stability information. If in doubt, please contact our Client Services department on Free Phone 1800-252-966, or e- mail [email protected]. Reference: 1.

AUTHORISED COPIES ARE STAMPED IN GREEN – OFFICIAL COPY Primary Sample Manual – Clinical Chemistry Issue No. 4.05 Effective Date: 15/07/20 Page 6 of 98 EUROFINS BIOMNIS REASONS FOR REJECTION OF SAMPLES/NON-REPORTING OF TESTS 1. Samples received beyond the stability limits and/or not at the correct temperature indicated below for each test. 2. Samples received in the incorrect tube/with the incorrect anticoagulant or lack of the correct anticoagulant. 3. Samples received without the necessary patient identifiers. For more details, see here. 4. Samples which fail specific criteria for certain tests. See individual tests for details. 5. All samples have 3 tests run on them called “serum indices”. These measure the extent of haemolysis, lipaemia and icterus in the sample. Each test has a specific level of each of these indices above which the test result is not valid. If any index is too high for a given test, that test is not reported. A comment such as “result invalid; sample haemolysed” is printed on the report instead.

  • Calcium Dobesilate Versus Micronised Purified Flavonoid Fraction of Diosmin in the Treatment of Chronic Venous Disease: a Randomized Prospective Study
    Acta Medica Mediterranea, 2018, 34: 657 CALCIUM DOBESILATE VERSUS MICRONISED PURIFIED FLAVONOID FRACTION OF DIOSMIN IN THE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC VENOUS DISEASE: A RANDOMIZED PROSPECTIVE STUDY EMINE SEYMA DENLI YALVAC1, MURAT DEMIROĞLU2, SIDIKA GURSEL1, EBUZER AYDIN1 ¹Medeniyet University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Istanbul, Turkey - 2Medeniyet University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Istanbul, Turkey ABSTRACT Introduction: Chronic venous disease (CVD) of the lower extremities has a substantial effect on quality of life. The clinical, etiology, anatomy, pathophysiology classification (CEAP) is a frequently used classification for CVD. Patients with varicose veins are classified as CEAP class C2. Veno-active drugs (VAD) such as Calcium Dobesilate or Micronised Purified Flavonoid Fraction of Diosmin (MPFF) reduce the symptoms of pain associated with CVD. However, although the effectiveness of VAD is well established, it is controversial. The aims of the this study were to compare the efficacy of two VAD (Calcium dobesilate and MPFF in the treat- ment of CVD in view of the intended visual analogue scale (VAS) and duplex scanning (DS) changes such as measuring great saphe- nous vein (GSV) diameter. Materials and methods: A total of 24 patients who had no prior VAD treatment with CEAP class C2, with no family history of CVD were treated; 12 received calcium dobesilate and 12 received MPFF for 60 days. Comorbidities such as hypertension (HT) and diabetes mellitus (DM) were examined. Before and after treatment period, the patients were investigated with DS for diameter of GSV and pain complaint according to VAS were recorded. Results: There were no difference in treatment groups in terms of age, gender, or the comorbidities.

    APPENDIX 2 CLASSIFICATION OF PROHIBITED SUBSTANCES 1. This classification describes the types of Prohibited Substances and places same in specific categories. The list shall be published on the Club’s Notice Board. CLASS I Drugs that have the greatest pharmacological potential to affect the racing performance of a horse and which have no accepted medical use in a racehorse. These include substances which are potent stimulants of the Central Nervous System (CNS). Examples of drugs in this Class include, but are not limited to: Amphetamines, fentanyl, etorphine, cocaine, morphine, meperidine, opiates, opium derivatives, synthetic opiods, psychoactive drugs. CLASS II Drugs that have a high pharmacological potential for affecting the racing performance of a horse. These include: (i) substances which are pharmacologically active in altering the cons (ii) substances which are not generally accepted as therapeutic agents in the racing horse; and (iii) substances, some of which may have legitimate use in equine medicine but should not be found in the racing horse, such as injectable local anaesthetics. 1 Groups of drugs in this Class include, but are not limited to: (a) Opiate partial agonists, or agonistsantagonists; (b) Non-opiate psychotropic drugs, which may have stimulant, depressant, analgesic or neuroleptic effects; (c) Miscellaneous drugs which might have a stimulant effect on the CNS; (d) Drugs with prominent CNS depressant action; (e) Antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs, with or without prominent CNS stimulatory or depressant effects; (f) Muscle blocking drugs which have direct neuromuscular blocking action; (g) Local anaesthetics which have a reasonable potential for use as nerve blocking agents (except procaine); and (h) Snake venom and other biologic substances which may be used as nerve blocking agents.

Each year the Medical Reporters’ Academy members are invited by Servier, to cover one of the most important international congresses for venous disease specialists. This year, the UIP Chapter Meeting, which was held in Krakow, Poland on August 25th- 27th, 2019 and the Charing Cross International Symposium: Vascular & Endovascular Challenges Update which was held in London, United Kingdom on April 15th - 18th, 2019 were selected because these congresses involved renowned international and national venous experts and young health care professionals providing a great opportunity to exchange ideas, explore strategies for vein care and discuss the latest trends & innovations in the field. Together with Andrew Nicolaides, the chairman of the group, the academy members explored the program of the congress, selected the events and presentations likely to present breakthroughs or new findings to attend, and wrote short reports.
