Molecular research and diagnostics are processes that take analyze DNA to identify markers or alterations that confer a disease or disorder. Testing can be performed to diagnose infectious diseases such as influenza, tuberculosis, or SARS-CoV-2.
Acute and chronic pain are often managed with drug therapy, which may include extended use of drug classes such as opioids and benzodiazepines. Pain does not go away, and may intensify...
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) has become the leading cause of healthcare associated infections in the United States and currently accounts for 15% to 20% of infectious diarrhea in the...
This session will review and describe the basic steps of a biosafety risk assessment for clinical laboratories. The risk of exposure to infectious agents exists in every clinical labora...

The advent of next generation sequencing has transformed the way we identify mutations with clinical implications. As the compendium of variants expands, gathering the most current and accura...
The integration of next-generation sequencing (NGS) tests into clinical laboratory practice across medical disciplines provides medically actionable data that in some cases are not otherwise...
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...
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...
Novel psychoactive substances (NPS) emerged in the United States around 2000. Initially, synthetic cannabinoids and stimulants prevailed. Now, designer opioids, benzodiazepines an...
Many direct immunoassays in use today for testosterone analysis are little better than a guess at the low levels that are sometimes required. This has led many clinical societies to adv...
Pregnancy represents a time of rapid bodily change, which include physical proportions, physiology and responsibility. Arguably, nothing during these times changes more than the requirement a...
