Clinical Evaluation: is the assessment and analysis of clinical data pertaining to a medical device in order to verify the clinical safety and performance of the device.
Germline cancer genetics became a reality with the cloning of the tumor suppressor gene RB1 for hereditary retinoblastoma in 1986 by Friend and Weinberg. The existence of cancer susceptibili...
Technological advances in high throughput, low cost DNA sequencing coupled with the availability of a high quality reference assembly allow us to interrogate the genome with greater precision...
The implementation of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology in the clinical laboratory has allowed for large-scale panel testing of many genes simultaneously at a reduced cost and turn-...
This educational session will focus on some of the new demands in counting particles in liquids, with a focus on the challenges of preparing and sampling protein-based materials. USP has rece...

Effective workplace training in a research facility is an important key in ensuring smooth operations and high standards of animal care. Today's diverse workforce offers many benefits such a...
Recent advances in anesthesia, monitoring, pain assessment and analgesia provide many opportunities for improving the quality of our in vivo scientific data, and promoting high standards of a...
During my presentation, we will discuss:- Normal patterns of behavior (repertoire): social, food intake, territorial, agonistic, anti-predation, sleep and rest, play behavior, grooming, sex...
 Statins are among the most commonly prescribed medications that significantly reduce cardiovascular risk in selected individuals. However, these drugs can also be associated with muscle symp...
Sedimentation velocity (SV) experiments on dispersed nanoparticles are a powerful method for determining otherwise hard to evaluate properties of the nanoparticle such as the...
Survival rates for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain unacceptably low compared to other common solid tumors. This mortality reflects a weakness in conventional staging, as...
The effective implementation of personalised cancer therapeutic regimens depends on the successful identification and translation of informative biomarkers to aid clinical decision-making. An...
AUC sedimentation velocity (SV) has a longstanding reputation as being the gold standard for the matrix free quantification of aggregates in biopharmaceuticals. The continuous c(S) ...
Accurate and timely diagnosis of rejection and infection is essential for long-term survival of solid-organ transplant recipients. We evaluated the performance a novel test to monitor rejecti...
The advent of next generation sequencing technologies has revolutionized the clinical genetics laboratory. Labs offering NGS are faced with an onslaught of sequence variants which must be int...
Clinical networks link groups of professionals and organisations from primary, secondary and tertiary care, shifting emphasis from institutional to patient needs and outcomes. One of the main...
Bone turnover markers (BTM) are biological markers of bone remodeling (turnover). The entire skeleton is replaced every 10 years by remodeling, a process constantly going on at different phas...
Vaginitis and vaginosis, including Bacterial Vaginosis (BV), Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (VVC), and Trichomoniasis (TV), are extremely common conditions, consuming many healthcare resources and...
Pharmcogenomics (PGx) is the 2nd potential clinical application of genomic medicine, preceded by genomic application for cancer. In the recently published, 2012 Institute of Medicine report o...
Clinical laboratory information provides decision support for most healthcare providers and impacts care processes and patient outcomes throughout the entire health services delivery system....
Case Example: University of Michigan Chemical Pathology LaboratoryEvery laboratory wants to achieve the highest quality possible and meet its commitment to deliver timely results. However...
Traditional testing methods for monoclonal protein in Plasma Cell Dyscrasias correctly identify a majority of patients. However, limitations in these methods can cause patients to be missed...
