In this webinar, we will examine how immune recognition after allogeneic HCT can influence leukemia relapse and disease progression. The session will highlight the clinical relevance of HLA loss of heterozygosity (LOH), approaches used for its detection, and how LOH findings may support transplant strategies, including considerations for donor selection in subsequent transplantation.
Webinar presenter Alberto Cardoso Martins Lima, PhD, Clinical consulting scientist in histocompatibility,
specializing in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) at IGEN/AFIP São Paulo and CHC/UFPR in Curitiba, Brazil

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.

September 2015—When the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 were implemented in the early 1990s, a number of significant changes to proficiency testing, or PT, were required. For the 83 tests or analytes (and microbiology subspecialties) defined as CLIA regulated, the law imposed requirements on both PT providers and laboratories.
September 2015—This is my last column, so the bad news is that it’s time to go. But the good news is that by the time you read this, we’ll be heading into CAP ’15, where many of us will continue this conversation in person. If you cannot come this year, I hope you will at least plan lunch afterward with someone who did. We always return to work infused with energy and optimism. At least you can tap into that.
September 2015—Whether transfusion recipients are better off receiving fresher red blood cells has probably been the most pressing and controversial question in blood banking in the past several years. So much so that enormous randomized, prospective trials involving patients in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, and Africa have been comparing outcomes from RBC units of different duration in a variety of patient subpopulations.
September 2015—Two major specialties serve all of health care as the foundation for diagnosis. Now efforts to align pathology and radiology again appear to be picking up steam. As payment shifts to so-called value-based care and as medical record systems may challenge successful test interpretation, many experts seek a clear integration of these two specialties.
September 2015—With the CLIA Individualized Quality Control Plan process geared to unseat the familiar Equivalent Quality Control process on Jan. 1, there seems to be wide agreement that microbiology laboratories will have the biggest adjustment to make to comply with CLIA QC requirements, despite the IQCP being voluntary.
