The last step of the entire medical billing process is to make sure that the healthcare providers get compensated for their hard-earned services to their fullest potential. For this purpose, the lab billing specialists must follow up with the patients and insurance companies who are behind their dues. Even when required they have to call, email and fax the payers to remind them about their payment regularly.
Healthcare labs play a critical role in the medical field by providing the foundation for critical decisions for important medical procedures. According to a study, healthcare labs contribute to 70% to 80% of critical decisions that are made in a clinical setting or hospital. However, healthcare labs only earn 30% to 40% of revenue comparatively collected by other healthcare settings.&…

Host Cell Residual DNA (rcDNA) refers to fragments of DNA derived from host cells that may be present in biological products.

Nitric oxide (NO) plays a pivotal role in regulating various physiological processes, including vasodilation, platelet aggregation inhibition, neurotransmission, and antimicrobial activity. One of the key mechanisms by which NO exerts its effects is through protein S-nitrosylation. S-Nitrosylation involves the transfer of a nitroso group to cysteine residues, resulting in the formation of S-nitrosothiols (SNO). This reversible post-translational modification dynamically regulates protein activity, localization, stability, and intermolecular interactions, akin to the well-known phosphorylation process.
Introduction Nitric oxide (NO) plays a pivotal role in regulating various physiological processes, including vasodilation, platelet aggregation inhibition, neurotransmission, and antimicrobial…
