Advances in clinical laboratory techniques and molecular analysis are reshaping our approach to therapy and diagnosis. Explore emerging diagnostic technology and the latest insights in the microbial community in these webinars.
Thyroid autoimmunity (TAI) tends to be more common in women consulting for fertility problems. However, any underlying causal mechanism connecting TAI to fertility aspects is yet to be establ...
Protein quantitation assays are essential for workflows that include protein extraction, labeling, and analysis. The simplest method for protein quantitation is measuring the absorbance of a...
The Laboratory Stewardship Committee of the Cleveland Clinic is a multidisciplinary team of clinicians, pathologists, administrators, nurses and other caregivers. The team has a commitment t...
Clinical testing with next generation sequencing requires a complex bioinformatics pipeline to process raw DNA sequence into interpretable variants for medical reporting. With sequencin...
Despite the fact that screening for many cancers is associated with net harm, healthcare consumers continue to be screened. PSA is the most commonly performed laboratory screening test for ca...
Lateral flow assays (LFAs) are rapid, sensitive, and easy-to-use immunoassays for detecting specific target proteins in vitro. Although the LFA format is extremely popular in point-of-care di...
In this webinar, Dr. Becky Winslow, infectious disease clinical scientist, details urinary tract infections’ incidence and impacts; the standard urine culture’s (SUC) technical c...
Determining which patients would derive clinical benefit from immunotherapy is a compelling clinical question. Biomarkers have been shown to predict therapy outcome in various types of cancer...
Single-cell RNA sequencing has emerged as an important technology that can reveal gene expression differences between different cell types. This webinar will demonstrate how bioinformatics s...
Currently, prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer in North America, the most frequent malignancy in men from all ethnicities, surpassing lung cancer. Prostate tumors...
Integration of technology is influencing practice in the clinical laboratory and treatment of patients in the clinical practice arena. As laboratories begin to move from a volume to value mod...
Sepsis is the Achilles’ heel of health care. Despite being relatively unknown to the public, it is a top killer in hospitals and the cost burden is crushing to our healthcare system. Mo...
Point-of-care testing (POCT) is destined to play a much greater role in chronic disease diagnosis and management. Advanced POCT systems are being developed to deliver less costly and more ac...
The GeneStrat® Genomic Test is a blood-based series of ddPCR tests for DNA (EGFR, KRAS, BRAF) and multiplexed assays for RNA variants (EML4-ALK, ROS1, RET). In this report we will u...
This presentation describes the new process by which the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will establish the prices the Agency pays for clinical diagnostic laboratory tests.&n...
As next generation sequencing has lowered the price of DNA sequencing orders of magnitude below what it cost to create the first consensus human genome, the sheer diversity of human sequence...
Point-of-care testing (POCT) allows for prompt clinical interventions by returning fast and reliable results near patients. This important role in patient management has led to the widespread...
The presentation will describe the principles of the ultra-sensitive single-molecule array (Simoa) developed by Quanterix and the application of the Simoa technology to the development of a t...
In spite of the huge potential impact of microbiome science, current measurement capabilities are insufficient, particularly for translating discoveries and correlations observed in the lab i...
Antiplatelet therapy with aspirin (ASA) is widely used in cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention because it inhibits platelet cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and thromboxane A2 (TXA2)-mediated plat...
Thyroid function tests play a central role to assess thyroid function and are valuable companions for clinicians. The evolution of the tests is permanent and clinical laboratories are key pla...
The BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes represent the best examples of the modern understanding of cancer molecular genetics. Testing for germline and somatic mutations in BRCA 1/2 has gradually become com...
In 2017, the Washington State Legislature passed HB 1427, which mandated that boards and commissions for five prescribing professions (dental, medical, nursing, osteopathic, and podiatric) en...
Background and aim: Immune response must be measured in highly controlled conditions for reproducibility. Furthermore, whereas the cellular response plays a major role, only antibody product...
Many Americans have succumbed to the scare tactics of the dermatological community, and avoid sunlight for fear of skin cancer and premature aging. Therefore, most of us suffer from vitamin D...
Long read Structural Variation calling remains a challenging but highly accurate way to identify complex genomic alterations. To address this challenge, we developed Sniffles2, a successor t...
The nuclear proliferation biomarker Ki-67 has multiple potential roles in breast and other cancers, both as a prognostic but also predictive marker. However, several studies have shown that...
Thyroid autoimmunity (TAI) tends to be more common in women consulting for fertility problems. However, any underlying causal mechanism connecting TAI to fertility aspects is yet to be establ...
