Q&A column

March 2024
Q. Is it a requirement that routine bacteriology cultures (for example, urine, sputum) be plated in a biological safety cabinet in your typical hospital biosafety level 2 laboratory? Is it safe to read these cultures on an open bench? Read answer.

Q. What source should a laboratory use for reference intervals for analytes? Read answer.

March 2024—While Dr. Seuss’ assertion that “the more that you read, the more things you will know” is generally accurate, it doesn’t address the fact that how information is presented affects comprehension, a truism that is not lost on Edward Klatt, MD, who knows whereof he speaks when it comes to sharing information on patient portals.

Put It on the Board

March 2024—The Food and Drug Administration approved in December the AvertD test, which assesses whether an individual may have an elevated risk of developing opioid use disorder. Its intended use is to inform the decision-making of patients and physicians about the use of oral opioids for acute pain relief.

Doing more, doing better in bladder cancer

February 2024—From her vantage at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Donna Hansel, MD, PhD, has a clear view of cancer’s latest frontiers. Progress and breakthroughs are the norm. But even she sounds impressed when she surveys the changes in her specialty, urothelial cancer. “We are now thinking what we never before thought was possible: We are thinking about cures and lifelong remission from disease,” says Dr. Hansel, division head and professor of pathology and laboratory medicine. It’s been a long time coming, says Dr. Hansel, who is also the Dr. Eva Lotzova and Peter Lotz memorial research chair. The disease historically has been caught in a sort of prepositional triangle—underfunded, overlooked, and underdiagnosed—with serious consequences. For years, she says, “We thought bladder cancer had only one treatment”—BCG, or Bacillus Calmette-Guérin, therapy. Because the field lacked a large volume of research to propel better diagnostics and treatments, “people died of this disease because it progressed.”

As AI use expands, ethics at the leading edge

February 2024—Artificial intelligence is sizzling, so much so that New Yorker magazine, evoking the dazzling and the potentially devouring nature of AI technology, tagged 2023 as “The Year A.I. Ate the Internet.”

Biomarker tests with discrepant results—why the differences?

February 2024—When multimodality testing reveals discordant biomarker results, which method is correct? Annette S. Kim, MD, PhD, and JinJuan Yao, MD, PhD, in a CAP23 session last fall used their cases to share strategies for resolving discrepancies—or, in some cases, what look like discrepancies.

With pipeline for pathologists, others lacking, eyes on AI

February 2024—Artificial intelligence and Medicare Advantage contracts were at the center of the Jan. 2 Compass Group virtual roundtable led by CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle. “If you want to get into the AI world, there are many lanes you can swim in,” said Michael Feldman, MD, PhD, of Indiana University School of Medicine.

Group’s pathology aides fill gaps, lighten the workload

February 2024—Efficiency can be hard to measure. But Kenneth Batts, MD, of Hospital Pathology Associates in Minneapolis, which contracts with Allina Health to provide anatomic pathology coverage, is sure that a pathology aide program the group started long ago makes its pathologists far more efficient.

The race to keep pace with drug use changes

February 2024—Xylazine prevalence, lab-developed testing, and new technology are converging at Yale New Haven Health in a way that gives rise to questions, worry, and new hope for faster drug testing.
