Abstract
Welcome to the first issue of Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis for 2009. The theme for this issue, “Laboratory Diagnostics and Therapy in Thrombosis and Hemostasis: From Bedside to Bench to Bedside,” arose from two main conceptual considerations. At a basic level, we reflected on the circular interactive process that the clinical-laboratory interface should reflect. Thus, the clinician, “at the bedside,” reflects on the best approach for the diagnosis of the patient's disease or wishes to monitor some form of patient therapy. Blood is drawn and sent to the laboratory, where tests are performed, and the results are relayed back to the clinicians, who then continue to manage the patient under their care. This process should follow a circular and interactive progression, as depicted in Fig. [1].
