April 2022—A study published last fall examined antimicrobial prescribing in gram-negative bloodstream infections based on three rapid diagnostic panels and using what’s known as the DOOR-MAT framework. The study’s findings were explained in a CAP TODAY webinar on stewardship interventions to optimize the management of gram-negative bacteremia. It was presented last December and made possible by a special educational grant from BioFire.
April 2022—Genetic alterations of the gene FLT3, especially internal tandem duplications in the juxtamembrane domain and point mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain, are commonly seen in patients with newly diagnosed myeloid leukemias. However, chromosome rearrangements involving the FLT3 gene are extremely rare in hematologic malignancies. The FLT3 gene has only a few known partner genes, including the gene ETV6, which encodes a transcriptional repressor. ETV6 has a wide variety of translocation partner genes, several of which are tyrosine kinase genes.
March 2022—Few people want to talk about burnout in health care—at least not publicly. Take, for example, the response of one laboratory professional, who, when asked to be interviewed for this story, waited several days before ultimately declining. Having his institution associated with the topic, he explained, could fan the flames among colleagues. “For sure all of us are feeling weary,” he said in an email (quoted with permission). “And I don’t want this in the face of our team members who are chronically short-staffed while seeing large hiring and retention bonuses going to nurses and others at the bedside. Those payouts are choking off access to capital for replacement equipment and causing every non-nursing position to go through a weekly labor committee review,” with finance leaders evaluating all replacement requests based on funding ability and productivity. “We all have some burnout,” he continued, noting the number of people retiring or trying new careers. The response ticks many boxes on the aspects-of-burnout list.
March 2022—Papillary and fibroepithelial lesions of the breast were the focus of a talk given by Xiaoxian (Bill) Li, MD, PhD, in a CAP21 session on common but challenging diagnoses in breast core biopsies.
March 2022—The omicron surge was waning on Feb. 1 when Compass Group members met by Zoom with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle. Inpatient numbers, test demand, and positivity rates were declining. “We’re on the downslope,” Northwell Health’s Dwayne Breining, MD, reported. But other pressures persist: the shortages of blood and staff.
March 2022—A new program called Pathology Accelerated Pathway at Penn State shepherds pathology-bound students toward residency readiness in three years instead of four and is set to begin this spring.
March 2022—Recent years have seen new releases in allergy and autoimmune disease testing that move the fields forward. “On average we’re looking at six to 10 years of a patient going through the process of seeing specialist after specialist and finally reaching a diagnosis,” Veena Joy, MSc, PhD.
March 2022—Most thyroid cancer cases are straightforward, but a small percentage are not. In a CAP21 molecular oncology tumor board session, Justin Bishop, MD, and Saad Khan, MD, spotlighted one of the latter.
March 2022—CAP Publications will release this spring volume two of the second edition of the Color Atlas of Hematology—on bone marrow. It continues in the tradition of its predecessor on peripheral blood cells (volume one, 2018): morphologic identification of cells based on proficiency testing. The senior and associate editors have organized the various components of volume two into “an eminently readable, practical, and in many respects entertaining resource for anyone interested in bone marrow morphology, physiology, and pathophysiology,” Donald S. Karcher, MD, of George Washington University, writes in the foreword.
March 2022—How can we connect these point-of-care devices? How do we standardize and ensure competency? How do we get the results from at-home testing? How can we integrate point-of-care information into the whole of analytics? Just some of the questions those who lead POC testing and make it possible are asking today. They spoke with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle on Jan. 25 in a virtual roundtable on POC instruments and system connectivity.
