Naming Enantiomers02:21

Naming Enantiomers

25.8K
The naming of enantiomers employs the Cahn–Ingold–Prelog rules that involve assigning priorities to different substituent groups at a chiral center. Each enantiomer, being a distinct molecule, is assigned a unique name by the Cahn–Ingold–Prelog (CIP) rules, also called the R–S system. The prefix R- or S- attached to the chiral centers in an enantiomer is dependent on the spatial arrangement of the four substituents on the chiral center. The R–S system essentially comprises three...

Naming Skeletal Muscles

4.0K
The naming of the approximately 700 muscles in the human body is based on a set of criteria designed to provide descriptive information about each muscle, making it easier to identify and remember them.
The key factors used in naming muscles include:

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs02:39

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

9.8K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

Common Names of Aldehydes and Ketones01:11

Common Names of Aldehydes and Ketones

4.9K
Some common aldehydes and ketones are popularly known by their common names used historically and predate the IUPAC nomenclature.   
Common names of aldehydes are derived from the names of their corresponding acid. For instance, the two-carbon aldehyde–acetaldehyde derives its name from the corresponding acid–acetic acid. Similarly, formaldehyde derives its name from formic acid and benzaldehyde from benzoic acid.
Aliphatic ketones are named by suffixing the word “ketone” to the...

Nursing Code of Ethics01:29

Nursing Code of Ethics

4.3K
The Nursing Code of Ethics sets the ethical benchmark for the profession, and guides nurses in ethical analysis and decision making at the societal, organizational, and clinical levels. The code encompasses showing compassion and respect for the patient, their families, and communities in all circumstances while committing to providing patient-centered care. In addition, the code states that nurses must advocate for the patient by defending a cause or recommendation to protect their rights,...

Area of Science:

  • Laboratory Medicine
  • Health Informatics
  • Medical Coding

Background:

  • The Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC) system is mandated for laboratory data exchange to enhance interoperability.
  • LOINC provides over 55,000 codes for laboratory tests, each with 6 defining axes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review LOINC's role in pathology laboratories.
  • To discuss challenges in LOINC code selection and mapping.
  • To highlight emerging issues and limitations of LOINC.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of peer-reviewed articles and federal regulations.
  • Analysis of the LOINC database (v2.65).
  • Incorporation of practical experience from healthcare systems and LIS vendors.

Main Results:

  • LOINC aids in distinguishing laboratory data across systems when test names alone are insufficient.
  • Challenges include the complexity and resource intensity of selecting correct LOINC codes.
  • Non-uniform assignment and lack of guaranteed result data equivalency limit LOINC's interoperability benefits.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate LOINC code selection and mapping are critical but complex processes.
  • Limitations in LOINC's utility are often poorly understood outside the laboratory setting.
  • Addressing these challenges is essential for realizing LOINC's full potential in healthcare interoperability.
