Web resources


The internet is a remarkable resource and its value as an educational tool cannot be overestimated. However, it is also a highly dynamic affair with a distinct air of ‘here today and gone tomorrow’. In selecting useful websites for these pages we have concentrated on well-established sites that in all probability will still be accessible for the lifetime of this edition. There are many other sites that can support and extend what is contained in this book and the reader is urged to access these through normal searches. One word of caution though – remember our subject has a number of pseudonyms – Clinical Biochemistry, Clinical Chemistry, Chemical Pathology, or just plain Pathology. If you are conducting general searches you may have to use more than one of these terms to get the return you are hoping for. As Clinical Chemistry is the term used most frequently in the United States you will find that this term yields the most hits (47.5 million versus 19 million for Clinical Biochemistry). Incidentally, those hit rates have increased ten fold since our last edition. Many university departments throughout the world have specific pages devoted to clinical cases and tutorial work related to Clinical Biochemistry which readers of this book may find useful. Occasionally complete slide sets and lecture notes are also available, but these are best searched for afresh as they are particularly prone to deactivation. Happy hunting.




Key journals

Clinical Chemistry is the most cited journal in the field of clinical chemistry, clinical (or anatomic) pathology, analytical chemistry, and the subspecialties, such as transfusion medicine, clinical microbiology. The journal, issued monthly, publishes contributions, either experimental or theoretical, that concern basic materials or principles, analytical and molecular diagnostic techniques, instrumentation, data processing, statistical analyses of data, clinical investigations in which chemistry has played a major role, or laboratory animal studies of chemically oriented problems of human disease.

Annals of Clinical Biochemistry is the official journal of the Association for Clinical Biochemistry, edited in collaboration with de Nederlandse Vereniging voor Klinische Chemie. the Japan Society of Clinical Chemistry and the Australasian Association of Clinical Biochemists. One of the world’s foremost in its field, it publishes fully refereed papers of international authorship that contribute to existing knowledge in all fields of clinical biochemistry, especially that pertaining to the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of human disease.
