Student fellowship’s pluses seen in the field and out

April 2020—At Oregon Health and Science University, one of the oldest post-sophomore fellowship programs in pathology is recruiting steadily and channeling a quarter to a half of its student fellows into pathology residencies. Dating back to the 1920s, the OHSU Pathology Student Fellowship, as it is now known, starts recruiting at the end of the first year of medical school, says Nicole Andeen, MD, assistant professor of pathology and co-director of the program. “Medical students join after the preclinical curriculum or after a year in clinical rotations.” With former student fellows spreading the word, “recruitment happens naturally,” she says.

Struggling to find a foothold with NAFLD

March 2020—For pathologists, a first look at nonalcoholic fatty liver disease can be jarring. Purva Gopal, MD, has seen her share of initial biopsies on patients whose “livers are already cirrhotic,” she says. So has Cynthia Guy, MD, professor, Department of Pathology, and chief of the liver and GI surgical pathology section, Duke University Health System. It’s not a good look, obviously, so it’s one she’s doing her best to share with clinical colleagues. At her institution, pathologists have built a strong connection with the hepatologists and gastroenterologists, she says, and NAFLD is part of the regular show-and-tell.

C. auris: ‘The more we see, the more resistance’

March 2020—While developing into a global health emergency that has killed thousands, the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus identified in China riveted the public and raised awareness of infectious diseases and their perils.

In CML, BCR-ABL monitoring takes on new importance

March 2020—Three decades ago, when Jerald Radich, MD, started doing BCR-ABL testing, the process was highly hands-on. In those days, “we used water baths to do PCR,” said Dr. Radich, an oncologist and director of the molecular oncology lab and member of the Clinical Research Division, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, in a recent CAP TODAY webinar.

Addressing the shortcomings of ANA testing by IFA

March 2020—Standardizing indirect immunofluorescence testing for antinuclear antibodies is a critical task for the laboratory community, and it’s more urgent now that new classification criteria make positive ANA a key factor in diagnosing lupus, said Mark H. Wener, MD, in a session at last year’s American Association for Clinical Chemistry annual meeting.

AMP case report: Advantages of SNP chromosomal microarray over conventional FISH and DNA tests for methylation-specific PCR-positive Prader-Willi syndrome

March 2020—Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic multisystem disorder with a reported incidence of approximately one in 15,000. It is characterized by severe infantile hypotonia with feeding problems, global developmental delay and mental deficiency, behavior problems, small hands and feet, hypogonadism and hyperphagia leading to marked obesity in early childhood, and a characteristic face.

POC panel talks diabetes care, data management, CGM

March 2020—Data management, diabetes care, the demand for continuous glucose monitoring, and device cleansing were up for discussion when CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle led a point-of-care glucose testing roundtable in January. Joining him were Todd Cullen of Arkray, Corinne Fantz, PhD, DABCC, of Roche, and Susan Fuhrman, MD, of OhioHealth Laboratory Services. Here is what they said.

Study: Combined DNA-RNA testing improves detection of MET mutations

March 2020—DNA and RNA sequencing, when used together, can improve detection of MET exon 14 skipping mutations in lung adenocarcinoma compared with DNA testing alone, according to a study reported last November at the Association for Molecular Pathology meeting. While RNA analysis can play an important complementary role to DNA analysis in detecting the mutation, it can also pick up false-positives if RNA analysis data are not adjusted properly, David Manthei, MD, PhD, a fellow in the University of Michigan Department of Pathology, explained in presenting the data. In the study, 482 cases of non-small cell lung cancer were sequenced using the Oncomine Focus Assay, a Thermo Fisher Scientific next-generation sequencing assay that conducts DNA and RNA analysis in a single workflow.

Shorts on Standards: Estimating measurement uncertainty

March 2020—The CAP has 30 official liaisons to various organizations who attend scientific meetings or designate others to do so. They report to the Standards Committee, which reports to the Council on Scientific Affairs. We periodically publish bits of what the CAP’s outbound liaisons hear and see in their liaison roles.
