July 2014—In this year’s roundup of chemistry analyzers for mid- and high-volume laboratories, three appear in our guide for the first time. Randox received FDA clearance this year for the latest edition of its RX series, the RX Daytona Plus, a fully automated, random-access benchtop analyzer that’s capable of running 270 photometric tests per hour or 450 tests per hour with the optional ion selective electrode unit.
July 2014—I recently attended my first meeting as a member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. I joined ASCO because I’ve been so impressed with the members I’ve met and the way they contribute to our work. I learned a lot and enjoyed the company, which means that I plan to attend their meetings whenever I can and hope many of you will do the same.
July 2014—Hospitals are under fire to cut costs, and more often than not that means layoffs, forgoing new equipment, and watching from the sidelines as the medical literature touts advances that could help patients now—if only institutions could afford to implement them.
July 2014—When Rosemary Frederick learned last year that her employer, North Shore-LIJ Health System of New York state, would be switching from the Roche Accu-Chek Inform I point-of-care glucose meter to the Inform II due to a maltose interference issue, she knew she and her colleagues were facing a heck of a lot of work.
July 2014—Is there a role for molecular diagnostics in bladder cancer? Bladder cancer is the fourth most common cancer in men in the United States and is associated with high rates of cancer morbidity and mortality worldwide. Multiple subtypes of bladder cancer have been identified, the most common of which is urothelial cancer.
July 2014—Laboratories now may be saved from draconian penalties, such as loss of a CLIA license and probation periods, for mistakenly sending proficiency test specimens to another facility. Under new rules published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, laboratories have the regulatory relief the CAP advocated during the past decade. The CMS will still severely punish those attempting to cheat on proficiency testing, but laboratories that unknowingly or unintentionally refer PT specimens will face alternative sanctions, according to the regulations.
July 2014—When it comes to molecular testing for acute myeloid leukemia, the approach seems more Montessori than military school. There are some basic steps physicians should take, to be sure. Cytogenetics still shepherds patients into three prognostic groups: favorable, intermediate, and unfavorable. And several gene mutations—NPM1, CEBPA, FLT3, and KIT—alone or in combination, and with various cytogenetic associations, provide additional prognostic and therapeutic guidance.
July 2014—Before the Affordable Care Act was passed, and before the notion of an ACO became a Medicare reality, Richard J. Cote, MD, was among those in medicine who saw the writing on the wall regarding health care payment. Dr. Cote recalls his thinking as he joined the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in 2009 to become chair of its Department of Pathology.
July 2014—A glance at most hospital laboratory spreadsheet makes it clear: Where laboratories could reduce high-cost reference testing for inpatients and unreimbursed send-out testing for outpatients, the savings would be striking. But voluntary education programs geared to improving test ordering practices are known to have their limits. Could a mild form of, well, coercion be helpful?
July 2014—Effects of fish oil in recent-onset rheumatoid arthritis: a patient study: The omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaneonic acid (DHA), which are found in fish oil, can suppress synthesis of the omega-6 proinflammatory eicosanoids prostaglandin E2 and leukotriene B4. The effects of fish oil as a dietary supplement in rheumatoid arthritis have been studied in randomized, controlled trials for patient-assessed pain, morning stiffness, number of painful or tender joints, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug consumption.
