Compass on COVID: What test for whom and when—lab leaders talk

November 2020—Testing saliva, stocking up, and expanding capacity were top of mind when members of the Compass Group convened by Zoom on Sept. 1 for a second COVID-19-related call with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle. Antigen testing, too, came up, and the question to answer there, said Susan Fuhrman, MD, of OhioHealth, is why the test is performed and what will be done with the result. That and more—testing for patients undergoing treatment for cancer, flu season—were up for discussion. Others on the call were Greg Sossaman, MD, of Ochsner; Lauren Anthony, MD, and Heather Dawson of Allina; Sarah Province and Julie Hess of AdventHealth; James Crawford, MD, PhD, of Northwell; Stan Schofield and Robert Carlson, MD, of MaineHealth; Sterling Bennett, MD, MS, of Intermountain; John Carey, MD, of Henry Ford; and Pamela Murphy, PhD, APRN, of MUSC Health. The Compass Group is an organization of not-for-profit IDN system lab leaders who collaborate to identify and share best practices and strategies. (For our coverage of their first call with CAP TODAY, see “Compass points chart the pandemic,” September 2020.) Here is what they told us on Sept. 1.

 

IT in a pandemic year, now and what’s ahead: interfaces, analytics, telepathology—seven weigh in

November 2020—Information technology from a COVID-19 perspective. What has been the impact on IT, and what change is yet to come? That is what seven people who met virtually on Sept. 10 talked about with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle. They are James Harrison, MD, PhD, of the University of Virginia; J. Mark Tuthill, MD, of Henry Ford; Stephen Hewitt, MD, PhD, of the National Cancer Institute; Bob Dowd of NovoPath; Michelle Del Guercio of Sunquest; Curt Johnson of Orchard; and Brian Gunderson of Roche. You will see here, in the conversation that follows, where their focus is as the crisis continues.

AMP case report: Role of lymphoma sequencing panel in diagnosis of pediatric-type follicular lymphoma

November 2020—Pediatric-type follicular lymphoma (PTFL) is a rare form of lymphoma that was recognized as a new diagnostic entity in the revised 2016 WHO Classification of Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues. The classic features of PTFL include male predominance, localized stage I lymphadenopathy, blastoid morphology, high proliferation index, and exceedingly good response rate to local excision.

From the President’s Desk: Gratitude all around

November 2020—Despite the circumstances that forced us to shift to a virtual event for our annual meeting this year—and my sincere hope we will never have to do so again—I couldn’t be more proud of how everyone in the CAP worked hard to adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic and ensure the best experience possible for all of our pathologists. As I write this, the annual meeting has just concluded. While every conference we hold requires tremendous effort, this was a different event, a different horse race. The work and persistence that went into making our virtual meeting a success were extraordinary.

Flu mounts COVID’s bustling stage

October 2020—Barely a half year into the pandemic’s presence in the United States, history has already begun pressing down on SARS-CoV-2 testing. Like an actor playing Hamlet, it’s been difficult not to feel the burden of past performances when preparing for the months ahead. Now, at the start of fall, that also means readying for the return of influenza. Here, even longer experience has shown that each new season is, indeed, a new season. As in the theater world itself these days, planning for what lies ahead feels tempest-tossed. Plans are being laid. Discussions continue. Creativity abounds, and hard work persists. The season shall unfold. But no one knows how it will look until the curtain—or whatever is passing for one this year—goes up. Poor Hamlet is troubled enough to fill the stage for hours—it is, in fact, Shakespeare’s longest play. Yet he’s just one man. Laboratories this fall are absorbing the slings and arrows of two roles simultaneously. Can they prepare for both parts (think Richard II and III sparring on the same stage) with confidence?

LSU autopsy findings point to endothelium as target in heart

October 2020—Autopsies conducted at University Medical Center in New Orleans on 22 patients who died from SARS-CoV-2 infection found not the expected typical inflammation of the heart muscle associated with myocarditis but instead scattered individual myocyte necrosis.

Higher CVD risk, or lower risk? hs-cTn in diabetes

October 2020—When Elizabeth Selvin, PhD, MPH, of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, began her studies of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays, they had not yet been approved in the U.S., as they are now, for use in diagnosing myocardial infarction. But some of her studies and those of Amy K. Saenger, PhD, DABCC, medical director of clinical laboratories and director of clinical chemistry at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, take high-sensitivity cardiac troponin in a new direction by exploring its potential use as an aid in monitoring cardiovascular risk in the general population.

Uncharted season forges new paths for all hands

October 2020—Planning for respiratory season is always tricky but never more so than this year. “Uncharted territory for influenza” is how Frederick Nolte, PhD, D(ABMM), of the Medical University of South Carolina, describes the prospect of testing for influenza at the scale labs have been testing for SARS-CoV-2.

AMP case report: TET2TET— reconciling conflicting genomic reports

October 2020—After 20 years of CAP advocacy, synoptic reporting in surgical pathology is ubiquitous. This came about in part by fiat and in part by all parties agreeing on the importance of standardization for patient care. The merits of some elements remain controversial. Molecular pathology, a newer discipline, does not offer the scope for creative writing once available in surgical pathology.
