2013 Issues

How anticoags work, and what that means for labs

January 2013—When to monitor and how? These questions were simpler when the list of anticoagulants patients were given was two or three deep—warfarin and unfractionated heparin, and maybe low-molecular-weight heparin. But the number of anticoagulants has grown and so has the complexity. Old and new—Michael Laposata, MD, PhD, covered the major anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs in a recent AACC webinar and again at the CAP ’12 annual meeting in September. Here, this month, is an edited transcript of what he said in the webinar about warfarin and heparin and briefly about the newer drugs. In the February issue: a close-up look at fondaparinux, bivalirudin, rivaroxaban, dabigatran, lepirudin, and argatroban.

New push to strengthen interim self-inspections

January 2013—Unless you have a full-time custodial staff at home, you have the same small annoyances around the house that nearly everyone has. Perhaps it’s a patchy paint job in the upstairs hallway. A closet light that burned out long ago. A dishwasher that periodically leaks. All things that visitors might not know about, but you do. And all things you’ve likely learned to live with in lieu of fixing.

Building the case for PGx testing

January 2013—Mammals have a striking range of gestation periods, from the 12 days and 31 days of the opossum and rabbit to the 266 days and 360 days of the human and whale. Laboratory tests, too, take shorter or longer amounts of time to be delivered into routine clinical practice, with pharmacogenomics beginning to look like the elephant—more than 600 days’ gestation—of laboratory testing. Our first major discussion of this topic was in 2005, and the clinical pathology world had been “expecting” its arrival for some time before that.

Cytopathology and More | Endometrial cells in Pap tests—when are they significant?

January 2013—Use of the Papanicolaou test has significantly decreased the incidence of cervical carcinoma, especially cervical squamous cell carcinoma. For endometrial adenocarcinoma, which is the most common malignancy of the gynecologic tract there is no cost-effective screening test. The Bethesda system 2001 recommends reporting normal endometrial cells in women 40 years or older and any atypical endometrial cells under the atypical glandular cells category.
