Hear an expert discuss how to integrate Kappa and Lambda in situ hybridization testing into your standard hematopathology workflow to accurately assess B-cell and plasma cell clonality. You will also gain the skills to recognize testing pitfalls in challenging reactive versus neoplastic proliferations and apply ancillary tools to resolve complex cases.

July 2015—Technically, it’s true: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ new program, the Individualized Quality Control Plan, is a voluntary, alternative option that clinical laboratories can use to customize their QC plans according to test method, patient population, environment, and personnel competency.
July 2015—Amid excitement about the groundbreaking work of unlocking the human genome’s secrets to speed diagnosis and target oncologic treatment comes the unpleasant reality that much of this labor now goes unpaid. Getting the American Medical Association’s editorial panel to publish nearly two dozen new genomics-related CPT codes for molecular pathology was a vital step, as was having those codes accepted in the Medicare clinical laboratory fee schedule.
July 2015—A study of biologic augmentation of rotator cuff repair with mesenchymal stem cells during arthroscopy; Effectiveness of multiple initiatives to reduce blood component wastage
July 2015—Expanding the morphologic spectrum of differentiated VIN by mapping p53 loss; Mitotic count by PHH3 immunohistochemical staining in pancreatic WDNETs; Comparison of prostate cancer markers in lymph node and distant metastases; Evaluation of a new grading system for laryngeal squamous intraepithelial lesions; Breast cancer assessment based on levels of estrogen receptor expression …
July 2015—Why Sonora Quest gave itself high marks for LIS conversion; Pathologists share homegrown software for infant autopsies; CMS promotes innovation by offering data to private sector; Agilent purchases Cartagenia; Database provides information from next-gen sequencing
July 2015—Inter- and intra-genomic heterogeneity in localized, multifocal prostate cancer: Genomic heterogeneity in cancer is not a novel finding; however, comprehensive studies to evaluate intra- and inter-genomic heterogeneity in prostate cancer are lacking.
July 2015—As more clinical laboratories tread the unfamiliar ground of next-generation sequencing, they are faced with the age-old challenges of establishing validation and quality control processes. Two experts tackled the topic of molecular QC during a recent CAP TODAY webinar presented in cooperation with Horizon Diagnostics and available for viewing on demand …
July 2015—Getting the upper hand on chronic kidney disease requires taking maximum advantageof existing CKD biomarker capabilities. It also means discovering new markers, though the trick is finding those that can expand treatment options. Some believe fibroblast growth factor-23 has the potential to fit that bill, with one researcher calling it “among the most exciting new targets in chronic kidney disease.”
July 2015—Responsibilities as medical director for transfusion and coagulation services at Nebraska Methodist Hospital in Omaha occupy about 15 percent of my time. We have an excellent staff, the work is satisfying, and I enjoy the patient contact. In 2007, we became one of what are now three hospitals in Nebraska with recognized blood conservation programs and one of about 150 nationally that accommodate patients who refuse or restrict blood use for personal or religious reasons. Many of these patients travel a significant distance to reach us.
July 2015—It used to be that business analytic solutions came only from LIS or enterprise-wide vendors, accessing these solutions meant going through the IT department, and laboratories’ requests to join the business analytics party frequently fell to the bottom of the priority pile. Forget “used to be.” Now, says Hal Weiner of Weiner Consulting Services LLC, in Eugene, Ore., “new tools have been developed by third-party vendors to make it much easier for labs themselves to create their own dashboards, their own queries, and their own monitoring tools.” And interest in business analytics is high among health care executives.
