The specialised neuromuscular outpatient clinic and EMG laboratory is dedicated to the diagnosis and subsequent therapy of peripheral nervous system disorders.
The cytogenetic laboratory performs classical postnatal cytogenetic examinations, prenatal cytogenetic examinations and prenatal and postnatal molecular genetic examinations by fluorescence in situ hybridization.
The Toxicology Laboratory offers organisations and private individuals the analysis of biological material for the detection and determination of alcohol and narcotic and psychotropic substances.
The work of the toxicology laboratory is focused on qualitative and quantitative analysis of biological material for the needs of clinical departments in the region and for the needs of law enforcement agencies.
We mainly perform analyses for criminal law purposes at the request of the Police Department. For the civil sector, we perform blood alcohol testing at the request of the employer in case of suspicion of alcohol influence on the employee and also for private purposes.
We process collected samples of biological material and prepare slides. This is the most time-consuming part of the autopsy, which is therefore usually completed three to four weeks apart.
Video-electroencephalography is a diagnostic method based on electroencephalography. Unlike conventional electroencephalography, however, the video-EEG machine also records the patient's image and the sounds in the room along with the electrical activity of the brain.
The electromyography laboratory is used to diagnose disorders of the peripheral nervous system, disorders of neuromuscular transmission and diseases of muscles; the examination of evoked potentials mainly examines the nerve pathways of the senses.
We ensure the preparation of suitable erythrocyte transfusion products for recipients with complicated immunohematological findings as part of a complete pre-transfusion examination (group AB0, RhD and irregular anti-erythrocyte antibodies in the recipient, cross-testing).
The laboratory provides testing of erythrocyte blood groups and anti-erythrocyte antibodies in order to ensure safe hemotherapy and to determine the risk of immunohematological complications in pregnancy.
