From the President’s Desk: Talk therapy for scotoma, 12/15

December 2015—I have long admired Oliver Sacks, MD, the neurologist and best-selling author who died in August of metastatic melanoma at the age of 82. Many knew him through The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, although I first became aware of him through Uncle Tungsten.

A step-by-step process to 95% autoverification

December 2015—Many laboratories have yet to reap the benefits of autoverification even though there is clear evidence of its benefits. During a recent internal study at Labsco, we discovered that more than 70 percent of our customers have not yet implemented AV. Of the customers who did perform AV, the highest percentage seen was about 60 percent (primarily in hematology and coagulation).

Guide to urinalysis instrumentation

December 2015—Not everyone shares Lauren Foohey’s idea of a good time, and she knows it. “Performing urine sediment analysis under a microscope—I thought it was fun,” Foohey says with a laugh. She spent 10 years in the laboratory before ultimately becoming senior director of global marketing for point-of-care urinalysis and diabetes at Siemens Healthcare, Point of Care Diagnostics.

Multiplex PCR test for detection of enteropathogens in an infant

December 2015—Clostridium difficile is an anaerobic spore-forming, Gram-positive bacteria transmitted by the fecal-oral route. The virulence of Clostridium difficile is primarily conferred from two toxins, A and B. Disruption of the normal gut flora, typically from intake of antimicrobials, allows Clostridium difficile to proliferate, causing a broad spectrum of clinical symptoms from asymptomatic colonization to colitis, a spectrum of diarrhea severity, and a protracted course of disease.
