June 2023—The time it takes to read through numerous pathology reports to find nuggets of critical information buried within narrative sections of text is tantamount to the time it takes for carbon atoms to turn into diamonds—or so it may seem to those tasked with digging for medical information.
May 2023—In 2020, when much of the world was locked down due to the pandemic, researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch, in Galveston, began helping pharmaceutical companies evaluate the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines using a neutralizing antibody assay they had developed. A hot minute later (or so it seemed), some UTMB pathologists concluded that their patients might want to know if they had neutralizing SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.
April 2023—At the medical center of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City, patients are not screened for bladder cancer using urine cytology because the pathology department does not have the capability for such screening. But that may soon change, thanks to an organization focused on using digital pathology to increase the availability of pathology education resources in developing countries.
March 2023—Interpreting digital pathology images requires a trained eye, but a pathologist and radiologist at Moffitt Cancer Center are working on a tool to make these and other medical images easier for patients to access and understand.
February 2023—Magic, joy, wisdom, and goats. Words seldom—if ever—used together in describing a pathology-focused website. Until now.
January 2023—The acclaimed film composer John Powell said, “Communication works for those who work at it.” A sentiment to which Yonah Ziemba, MD, adhered when communicating data via charts, graphs, and tables during his pathology fellowship—benefiting himself and others.
December 2022—To safely and effectively extend the process of conducting point-of-care testing to staff from various hospital departments is no easy feat. That’s why four full-time employees at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles oversee POC testing, relying heavily on middleware, analytics, and exception-management tools.
November 2022—Bias—a type of prejudice that may go back to the beginning of humankind—has, in recent years, been the focus of attention with regard to developing machine-learning algorithms for clinical laboratory testing.
October 2022—Cater to your audience, while sage advice, can be a challenging proposition when it comes to choosing a biobank information system. Unlike clinical laboratories, which use lab information systems that tightly link specimen testing results to patient information in the EHR, biobanks need specimen-centric systems that can store and track samples for research purposes. Biobanks, like research laboratories, need the functionality typically found in laboratory information management systems, or LIMS, says Raj Dash, MD, pathologist and director of laboratory informatics strategy, Duke Health.
September 2022—Do you want to play a role in solving a problem or improving a process in your laboratory via machine learning or artificial intelligence but don’t know where to begin? If so, take some time to learn, listen, share, and, perhaps, have a cup of coffee, says Scott Doyle, PhD, biomedical engineer at the State University of New York at Buffalo.
