August 2013—Theatergoers don’t want to see theunderstudy. Passengers don’t want to encounter a series of “flight delayed” messages on the departures board. And while it may not be every laboratory’s worst nightmare, no pathologist wants to open a letter from a government agency or payer that starts out, “It has come to our attention,” followed with words like “violation” and “false claim.”
August 2013—Robert L. Michel doesn’t claim to have all the answers to all the problems laboratory medicine now faces. But as editor-in-chief of The Dark Report, the industry intelligence publication, he knows what those problems are chapter and verse. He also sees where future problems lie.
August 2013—In ancient Rome, the legions might gird for combat with a muscled cuirass, helmet, and greaves, and carry a pilum. But none of them ever had to confront a hospital system C-suite, with high-level executives whose titles start with “chief” deciding between a single, enterprisewide information system or a “best-of-breed” laboratory information system.
August 2013—Lynch syndrome (LS) is an autosomal dominant syndrome that predisposes patients to multiple malignancies. LS has traditionally been thought of as a colorectal-cancer-dominated syndrome; however, the incidence of endometrial cancer in women with LS actually exceeds that of colorectal cancer. Here we report a case of a woman with metachronous colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer, with the goal of increasing awareness of the need to screen endometrial cancer patients for LS. Identifying these patients is important not only for the patient but also for other family members who would benefit from genetic counseling and surveillance for LS-associated malignancies.
August 2013—At CAP ’11, then president-elect Stanley Robboy, MD, sat at a table in a conference room. He didn’t know those seated with him but he and they started to chat. The conversation turned to Dr. Robboy’s goals for his upcoming presidential term, and a member from Saudi Arabia, Amal Saadallah, MD, PhD, proposed that newborn screening requirements be created for accreditation.
August 2013—You have a great gynecologic cytology case, a patient with atypical endometrial cells on Pap test that you believe might represent a low-grade endometrial adenocarcinoma, but it has been four weeks and you have had no feedback about the patient’s outcome. It seems as if there have been a lot of atypical endometrial cells on Pap tests lately. Could it be due to the implementation of a new liquid-based technology for Pap tests in your laboratory? Fortunately, your laboratory performs cytologic-histologic correlation monthly, so you ask the medical director if she has noticed any trends in the rate of atypical glandular cells, and what the corresponding biopsies have shown. To your relief, the patient had a biopsy showing low-grade endometrial carcinoma, and the laboratory statistics have shown only a slight increase in atypical glandular cells since the new technology was implemented. The medical director informs you that she has been recording these data as a special QA project to determine if the increase is due to over-interpretation of reactive glandular cells, because the technology enhances nuclear and cytologic details of glandular cells.
August 2013—The field of cervical cancer screening saw many developments in 2012. In April last year, the American Cancer Society, American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology, and American Society for Clinical Pathology published new guidelines for cervical cancer screening, most notably raising the age at which screening should begin, extending the interval between screening tests, and giving preference to simultaneous Pap and human papillomavirus co-testing in women ages 30 to 65.1 Almost simultaneously, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force published similar screening guidelines.2 Then, in July, the CAP and ASCCP published the results of a joint project recommending a uniform Lower Anogenital Squamous Terminology (LAST).3 Finally, in September the ASCCP led a consensus conference of 23 participating organizations to update guidelines for managing abnormal cervical cancer screening test results. In April of this year, these updated guidelines were published simultaneously in the Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease and Obstetrics and Gynecology.4,5
August 2013—In the May 20, 2013 issue of the New Yorker, Google co-founder Sergey Brin is quoted as saying of Internet security: “In big corporations people don’t understand what security people do, for the most part, and no one pays attention to them unless something goes wrong. Frankly, a lot of companies aren’t that interested in security.”
Busy as they were preparing for the annual American Association for Clinical Chemistry meeting last month, several vendors of in vitro blood gas analyzers found time to tell CAP TODAY about some of the features they’re planning to unveil in the next year or so.
July 2013—In his 25-year practice career, Texas obstetrician James Maher, MD, has performed several thousand amniocenteses, using a long needle to draw amniotic fluid from the uterus of higher-risk pregnant women to rule out certain fetal chromosomal abnormalities—trisomy 21, or Down syndrome, in particular.
