October 2017—I understand that you’re reading this several weeks after CAP17, after I’ve been sworn in, after we’ve returned home thinking about friendships renewed, controversies debated, new tools encountered up close. Although I write this before the meeting, I know how I will feel by the time you read it: grateful and glad to be a member of this organization.
October 2017—Association between age at natural menopause and risk of type 2 diabetes: Menopause in women marks the loss of ovarian follicle development and the timing of the final menstrual period. The timing of menopause differs significantly among women and is seen as a marker of aging and cardiovascular health. Studies have shown a link between early onset of menopause and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and overall mortality, whereas menopause at age 50 to 54 years is linked to a decrease in CVD risk and mortality.
October 2017—Lymph node yield is an independent predictor of survival in rectal cancer: Lymph node yield is used as a marker of adequate oncological resection. The American Joint Committee on Cancer recommends at least 12 nodes to confirm node-negative disease for rectal cancer. However, it is not always possible to achieve a lymph node yield of 12, particularly in patients who have undergone neoadjuvant treatment.

Analysis of integrative clinical genomics of metastatic cancer
October 2017—Our doctors request strep group A culture on throat specimens that are negative for rapid strep group A. On culture workup, if we have beta-hemolytic strep, we perform latex grouping only for group A strep; we report negative for GAS if latex is negative and positive if latex is positive. I think we should confirm all GAS with pyrrolidonyl arylamidase (PYR), and group and report other non-GAS. What do you think?
October 2017—Clinical analytics: from benefits attained to software available: While LIS and laboratory billing software vendors tout the power of their business analytics tools to boost the laboratory’s bottom line, a newer application of information technology—clinical analytics—is elevating the role of the laboratory in personalized medicine.
October 2017—Houston labs learn: know the back roads: The disaster plan of the laboratories at Memorial Hermann Health System in Houston held up well in Hurricane Harvey, thanks to lessons learned in years past, but the labs have something new to add: Know in advance the back-road access routes to the various hospitals.
CAP TODAY provides valuable information that is important to guide the practice for many pathologists. However, an article published in the August 2017 issue, “Laboratory director duties clarified in 2017 checklist” by Anne Ford, has raised serious concerns among many pathologists, particularly members of the Chinese American Pathologists Association (CAPA).
September 2017—Academic Pathology recently published the results of a two-year project by the CAP Graduate Medical Education Committee to build a framework for teaching specific entrustable professional activities (EPAs) in pathology. Their scheme structures a competency-based approach to training mapped to the ACGME Milestones for pathology resident evaluation. Competency-based curricula are well suited to impart the breadth and depth of necessary fundamental knowledge to future pathologists.
September 2017—Hemoccult testing before therapeutic anticoagulation in venous thromboembolism: Gastrointestinal bleeding is a major adverse event associated with therapeutic anticoagulation. Surveys of physicians have shown that concern for this event is one of the most common reasons to withhold anticoagulation in patients who have atrial fibrillation, acute coronary syndromes, or venous thromboembolism (VTE).
