February 2022—Ask TRUU-Lab founder Ila Singh, MD, PhD, what’s in a name and she will provide an answer that differs greatly from that of Shakespeare’s Juliet Capulet. According to Dr. Singh, the answer can be too much information, not enough information, or ambiguous terminology—when referring to lab test names, that is.
February 2022—Siemens Healthineers’ Enhanced Liver Fibrosis test is available in the United States, exclusively through collaboration with Labcorp and Quest Diagnostics. This commercial availability in the U.S. follows de novo marketing authorization from the FDA in August 2021.
February 2022—The CDC published on Nov. 5, 2021 a report indicating that immunocompromised persons receiving SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines should receive three doses and a booster (MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2021;70[44]:1553–1559). The following n-of-1 observational study suggests that an immunocompromised nonresponder to mRNA vaccine may indeed respond to a second series of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine.
