                       Torna alla home page del <a href="/index.php?title=Manuale_MedITEX">Manuale MedITEX IVF</a>

La pagina diagnostica lab è suddivisa in due parti principali. La parte superiore contiene un riassunto delle precedenti gravidanze (solo per la donna) e alcuni dati antropometrici. La sezione inferiore contiene la lista di tutti gli esami eseguiti e, per l'uomo, una ulteriore sezione contenente la lista di tutti gli spermiogrammi.

Nota: se si fa click sul riassunto delle gravidanze precedenti si apre una finestra contenente l'esito delle precedenti gravidanze. 

Documentare un nuovo campione

Inserimento singolo

To document the findings of a single analisys just click on the arrow at the right of the "New sample" icon and choose the type desired.  <img src="/images/newsamptype.jpg" alt="" width="145" height="146" />

The following window will open:

<img src="/images/labval.jpg" alt="" width="500" />

Explaination of the fields/icons:

• Date: date of the analisys. If the lightning icon is clicked will be selected the current date.
• Time: time of analisys. If the lightning icon is clicked will be selected the current time.
• Sample ID: ID code of the sample
• Attending physician: attending physician of the patient
• QM: QM field icon can be used to access the QM fields associated to this document
• Parameter: parameter investigated. To choose the parameter just type its name in the field or click the black arrow on the right. Only parameters belonging to the selected type (eg. Hormones) will be shown.
• Value: fill this field with the value found with the analisys unless standard values are set in the Lab section in the settings. If standard values are set just click on the black arrow on the right and select the value.
• Unit: default units for the parameter. It is possible to select different units by clicking on the black arrow. To change the default units for the parameter go to the Lab section in the settings.
• Browse: clicking on the arrows will scroll the documents archived upwards or downwards
• Validity period: period of validity of the analisys. To change the period of validity go to the Lab section in the settings.
• Note area: an area that can be used to input a note.
• Parameter value range: here are shown, if set, the value ranges for the parameter. To change the parameters go to the Lab section in the settings.
• Add document: allows to browse the directories and to add a single document
• Open document: always to open the document added.

By clicking on "OK" the results of the analisys will be saved and published in the homepage if the related box in the the Lab section in the settings was checked.

Note: If the parameter shown in the lab diagnostics list or in the homepage is red it means that the lab test has reached the expiry date set by the user.

Inserimento multiplo

If the Multiple entry icon is clicked the following window will pop up:

<img src="/images/mulentr.png" alt="" width="500" />

Explaination of the fields/icons:

• Date: date of the analisys. The date selected is the same for all the analisys documented. If the lightning icon is clicked will be selected the current date.
• Time: time of analisys. The time selected is the same for all the analisys documented. If the lightning icon is clicked will be selected the current date.
• Sample ID: ID code of the sample
• Attending physician: attending physician of the patient
• Type: family of analisys which the parameter belongs.
• Group: group of analisys which the parameter belongs. To change the group go to the Lab section in the settings. To set a new group go to the System table section in the settings.
• Parameter: parameter investigated. To add/remove parameters to/from the Multiple entry tool, go to the Lab section in the settings
• Unit: default units for the parameter. It is possible to select different units by clicking on the field and the on the black arrow. To change the default units for the parameter go to the Lab section in the settings.
• Value: fill this field with the value found with the analisys unless standard values are set in the Lab section in the settings. If standard values are set a black arrow will appear on the right when the free field is clicked. Click on the black arrow and select the value.
• Note: this is a free field to be filled with notes.
• Status: normal (OK icon) or abnormal (! icon) can be notified for the analisys. Just click on the free field and then on the black arrow to select the status.
• Parameter value range: here are shown, if set, the value ranges for the parameter. To change the parameters go to the Lab section in the settings.

By clicking on "OK" the results of all the analisys where the value or note was entered will be saved. They will be also published in the homepage if the related box in the the Lab section in the settings was checked.

Note: If the parameter shown in the lab diagnostics list or in the homepage is red it means that the lab test has reached the expiry date set by the user.

Note 2: in the Lab section in the settings can be chosen which parameters should be offered in the multiple entry window

Creating a spermiogram 

If the arrow at the right of the "New sample" icon is clicked when the male patient is selected, one more option it is available: spermiogram. <img src="/images/newsamsper.jpg" alt="" width="144" height="168" />

Selecting spermiogram option will open the following window:

in this window it is possible to document general data about the semen sample and data before and after the preparation. The "After preparation" section differs from the "Native" section only for a label called "Preparation". In this label it is possible to document: preparation date and time, operator and up to four preparation methods. Thanks to the document section it is possible to attach a document to the spermiogram.

Calculating the motility

By clicking on the calculator icon <img src="/images/calcul.jpg" alt="" width="23" height="23" /> a window opens. In this window shall be input the total number of sperms observed and the number of sperms observed for each of this category: imotile, locally motile, non linear motile, slow progressive motile and fast progressive motile. When the numbers are typed in, the calulator calculates automatically the WHO percentages for each WHO class. It is possible to group/ungroup the WHO A and WHO B in the system settings.

Using the double witnessing

When the box "Use double witnessing" is checked the double witnessing tool is activated: the Double witnessing label is availabe in Native and After preparation section. The double witnessing is split in two more section: counting and results.

Note: when the double witnessing it is activated some of the fields in the parameter section will be blocked. This fields will be filled with the mean values derivating from the two observation of the double witnessing.

Counting

<img src="/images/counting.jpg" alt="" width="489" height="411" />

This section is used by operator 1 and operator 2 to input the total number of sperms observed (Count result) and number of sperms belonging to the WHO classes. It is also offered a sperm <a href="/index.php?title=Lab_diagnostics#Calculating_the_motility">calculator</a>. When the data are typed by the two operators, the average counting result and the concentration of spermatozoa in the sample will be automatically calculated depending on the dilution factor and on the portion (rows counted) of the haemocytometric chamber. Once performed the double counting, the results are shown in the result section.

Result

<img src="/images/result.jpg" alt="" width="489" height="408" />

In this section it is shown if the differences between two replicate counts are acceptable according the "WHO laboratory manual for the Examination and processing of human semen – Ed V 2010". To confirm the observation made by the two operators just press the button take over. After the data has been taken over, it will not be possible to edit the double witnessing data anymore.

Meaning of the columns:

• Diff.= differentiation
• Diff. amm.= differentiation amount
• Diff. rel.= differentiation relative
• Diff. rel. amm. = differentiation relative amount
• AVG= arithmetic average
• 1.96x radq= 1.96x square root
• Appr. d. = approval differentiation
• Appr. d. rel.= approval differentiation relative

Creare grafici dai risultati degli esami

If the Statistics button is clicked the following window will pop up:
