June 2022—Medical student visiting, or “away,” rotations usually occur in medical students’ fourth year and often align with participants’ specialty of interest at an institution for which they have an interest in the residency program.
June 2022—Appendiceal orifice mucosae often appear inflamed endoscopically, even when other colonic segments appear normal. Histological findings in biopsy samples taken from endoscopically abnormal mucosae may simulate a variety of inflammatory colitides.
June 2022—Sickle cell disease is caused by a point mutation in the gene encoding β-globin and is characterized by chronic hemolytic anemia, painful vaso-occlusive events, and increased risk of early death. The disease can be managed using supportive therapy, but this does not halt its progression.
June 2022—Laboratories seeking a means to query their repository of archival anatomic pathology reports would do well to follow the advice of former tennis star Arthur Ashe: “Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can.”
June 2022
Q. Can bronchoalveolar lavage specimens from multiple lobes be pooled for culture? Can multiple biopsies from the same joint be pooled for culture? Read answer.
Q. We verify our reference intervals with each new reagent lot for coagulation tests (PT, APTT, fibrinogen, and TT). What difference in values between lots necessitates establishing a new reference interval?
A CAP TODAY Q&A from January 2015 mentions limits within 1.5 seconds of each other between new and old reagent lots for human recombinant PT. What about limits for APTT and fibrinogen? Read answer.
June 2022—The CAP issued a statement on April 5 in support of the ADVANCE study, which hopes to end discriminatory practices based on sexual identity and/or sexual orientation in donor risk assessments and deferral periods for blood donation. Originally, the FDA instituted such discriminatory criteria on the assumption that potential donors who are gay and bisexual men who have sex with men are at an increased risk of transmission of communicable diseases, such as human immunodeficiency virus. If the results of the ADVANCE study prove this antiquated idea false, the FDA will hopefully amend the official guidance on donor eligibility for blood donation.
June 2022—Daiichi Sankyo and AstraZeneca’s Enhertu (fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki) in April was granted breakthrough therapy designation for treating patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-low (IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH-negative) breast cancer who have received a prior systemic therapy in the metastatic setting or developed recurrence during or within six months of completing adjuvant chemotherapy.
May 2022—Among the countless interruptions COVID-19 has inflicted on the medical community, one of the most obvious has been conversational. In the face of a global pandemic, other topics can seem unworthy of discussion. But as some post-pandemic normalcy creeps back in, so does the focus on topics of equal, if less dramatic, importance.
May 2022—Studies show promise for new approaches to biomarkers for myocarditis diagnosis, one of which is circulating microRNA mmu-miR-721. Another biomarker, sera soluble ST2 (sST2), which has been found to be clinically useful in predicting heart failure, could be added to existing biomarkers used to diagnose patients with myocarditis, interpreted according to sex and age. And serial high-sensitivity troponin measurements might be another approach to diagnosing and monitoring myocarditis.
May 2022—Myelodysplastic syndromes are often challenging to diagnose, and it’s the exceptions to the rules that make it so, said Phillipp W. Raess, MD, PhD, associate professor of pathology and laboratory medicine, Oregon Health and Science University, speaking at CAP21.
