August 2016—Most of us have heard the laboratory described as a black box where specimens are exchanged for information and diagnoses. This tells me that we work beside some highly skilled people who don’t know what we do and that the knowledge gap makes them uncomfortable enough to joke about it. This incomplete understanding of what takes place within the laboratory has meaningful consequences in multiple contexts.
August 2016—Cold antibodies may be detected with routine pretransfusion testing and may obscure the identification of clinically significant red blood cell antibodies. They may be detected in healthy people or may be transient in appearance after a mycoplasma or mononucleosis infection. In most cases, cold antibodies are benign, and pretransfusion laboratory testing is designed to avoid detecting these antibodies by eliminating testing at room temperature.
August 2016—Use of HSP70 and glutamine synthetase to diagnose hepatocellular carcinoma; Recurrence of benign and low-grade fibroepithelial neoplasms of the breast; Lobular neoplasia detected in MRI-guided core biopsy: a high risk for upgrade; Use of microsatellite instability, MLH1 methylation analysis, IHC to identify Lynch syndrome; Differential diagnosis of bladder versus colorectal adenocarcinoma; Enhanced expression of PD L1 in CIN and cervical cancers
August 2016—Germline mutations in men with metastatic prostate cancer: Prostate cancer displays great diversity in clinical behavior, ranging from essentially silent, organ-confined disease to rapid and aggressive metastatic spread. The authors know of no clear-cut screening method that can reliably identify those patients whose tumors are likely to behave aggressively and, therefore, may benefit from a more active treatment strategy. Prostate cancer has also been shown to have a significant component of heritability.
August 2016—If you obtain a platelet count from a blood sample collected in a sodium citrate tube, the result is multiplied by 1.1 to correct for the volumetric difference in anticoagulant compared with EDTA. When you result the platelet count from the sodium citrate tube, is it a CAP requirement to attach a comment such as: “_#__ Results reported from blue top tube. The reference range and other method performance specifications have not been established or approved by FDA. Use results with caution.”
August 2016—Document-management systems worthwhile if you go extra mile; HHS releases guidance on ransomware attacks; McKesson alters IT business; Leica sample-tracking system added to Psyche products; Agilent buys iLab Solutions
August 2016—LabCorp will acquire Sequenom; New York ends state PT services; St. Jude lands CAP ISO 15189 accreditation; Epigenomics’ DNA test included in CRC guideline; OSU to deploy Inspirata digital pathology solution; Mindray’s clinical chemistry analyzer cleared; Successful Keytruda trial stopped early; Top court clarifies autopsy’s place in Texas law; EUA for Siemens Zika assay
July 2016—I love to read and I like to watch a good baseball game. Sometimes I can actually use one to enhance the other. No, this is not leading to a discussion on Bull Durham and how life is defined by baseball or Field of Dreams and the logic of build it and they will come.
July 2016—Next-generation sequencing has continued to deliver on its promises and potential in the diagnostic arena. However, as with any emerging and evolving technology, the medical and scientific community faces the challenge of assessing the implications and demonstrating definitive clinical uses of its expanding capabilities, especially in the context of medical efficacy, clinical utility, and cost efficiency.
July 2016—Utilization management to reduce unnecessary lab testing at a VA hospital: It is estimated that laboratory and pathology testing account for four percent of annual health care costs. A laboratory utilization management system, or laboratory expert system (LES), can be employed to reduce such costs. A variety of functionality, including passive and active alerts, in the computerized physician order entry (CPOE) system provide decision-making support for physicians ordering tests.
