Q. What are your recommendations for using viscoelastic assays to perform platelet mapping studies? What is the clinical value of obtaining these test results? Read answer.
Q. Would the results of tests for routine and special coagulation studies be affected if I thawed frozen plasma samples using a dry heating block? Are we allowed to use dry heating blocks? Read answer.
October 2019—I have two goals as a pathologist, and I suspect that my colleagues share them. First, I want to be the best physician—the best pathologist—so I can give the best possible care to my patients. Second, I want to get paid fairly for the service I provide. Being the best pathologist comes with a number of requirements: staying up to date on the latest information and protocols, practicing in a quality lab, and working with great pathologists.
Digital health education: imperfect to imperative: October 2019—Arlen Meyers, MD, MBA, is a passionate advocate for educating medical students and practicing physicians about digital health technologies and their role in patient care. Without increased emphasis on organized digital health education, the medical field cannot fully embrace such technologies, says Dr. Meyers, president and CEO of the Society of Physician Entrepreneurs and co-editor of Digital Health Entrepreneurship, released this year by Springer Books.
Cardiovascular events and mortality in white coat hypertension
October 2019—Hypertension is the most common preventable cause of disability and premature mortality worldwide. It is often diagnosed using in-office blood pressure measurements. More recent guidelines encourage out-of-office blood pressure monitoring, such as at-home self-monitoring, for diagnosing and managing hypertension.
Keratin 17: a sensitive and specific biomarker of urothelial neoplasia
October 2019—There is a clinical need to identify novel biomarkers to improve diagnostic accuracy for detecting urothelial tumors. The authors conducted a study to evaluate keratin 17 (K17), an oncoprotein that drives cell cycle progression in cancers of multiple anatomic sites, as a diagnostic biomarker of urothelial neoplasia in bladder biopsies and urine cytology specimens. The authors evaluated K17 expression using IHC in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue specimens of nonpapillary invasive urothelial carcinoma (UC; classical histological cases), high-grade papillary UC (PUC-HG), low-grade papillary UC (PUC-LG), papillary urothelial neoplasia of low malignant potential (PUNLMP), and normal bladder mucosa.
Circulating tumor DNA as a clinical test in resected pancreatic cancer
October 2019—Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas are associated with high rates of mortality due, in part, to a lack of effective screening strategies and advanced disease at diagnosis. Residual occult disease is thought to contribute to disease recurrence in up to 80 percent of patients treated surgically for localized disease. These findings highlight the critical need for biomarkers for detecting disease early and monitoring tumor dynamics. Current strategies involve a combination of serum markers (carbohydrate antigen [CA] 19–9) and imaging modalities, both of which have limitations, particularly for detecting early disease recurrence postoperatively.
