Human Hyperlipoproteinemias:Principles and Methods

Description

The "Istituto Superiore di Sanita" was glad to join the Italian Society for the Study of Atherosclerosis and the Fondazione Giovanni Lorenzini in the organization of the Second International Course on Human Hyperlipoproteinemias. The theoretical part of the Course included contributions by outstanding Italian and foreign experts who lectured on various fundamental aspects of the problem. The Institute endeavored to provide adequate facilities for the practical sessions of the Course which was so structured as to give an essential, and as far as possible comprehensive, overview of the laboratory techniques necessary for the classification of hyperlipoproteinemias. Several research workers of the Institute contributed their knowledge and long-standing practical experience in the field of lipid metabolism, their aim being to improve methods of analysis and to devise new ones. Professor R. Angelico was the tireless co-ordinator of the practical part of the Seminar. Such a contribution falls within the scope of the manyfold activities of the Institute in view of the ever-growing importance of the standardization of analytical methods in Clinical Pathology, which is one of the major concerns of our public health institutions, together with pollution control, food and drug supervision, and disease prevention.
