New research shows that removing a race modifier from a formula used to diagnose kidney disease could lead to more equitable care for Black patients. This study and a second that examines how this same diagnostic approach impacts Asian patients was presented at the 2022 AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo.
AACC welcomed thousands of medical professionals and healthcare leaders to the 2022 AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo at the McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago from July 24-28. The meeting featured ground-breaking diagnostic advances that will help solve challenging patient health problems, and affirmed just how essential laboratory medicine professionals are to […]

Headquartered in Zizers, Switzerland, the company is committed to fulfilling the needs of laboratory professionals in the life sciences industry, and has a strong focus on minimizing its […]
Sepsis requires fast treatment for the best outcome, but is notoriously difficult to diagnose. Monocyte distribution width (MDW) is a parameter that gaining traction in the diagnosis of sepsis and may also be useful in predicting severe outcomes from COVID-19 infection. CLI caught up with Lorenzo Maggia, Product and Scientific Senior Manager at Beckman Coulter Europe, and […]
Pixel-based analysis of pulmonary changes on CT lung images due to COVID-19 pneumonia Soya E, Ekenel N, Savas R et al. J Clin Imaging Sci 2022;12:6 doi: 10.25259/JCIS_172_2021
Since the 1960s, the use of dried blood spot (DBS) technology for newborn screening (NBS) and monitoring of patients with inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) has become routine in most parts of the world.
Accurate interpretation of laboratory tests is essential to diagnosis and monitoring of many pediatric disorders. Hematology test results in children cannot be interpreted using adult reference intervals owing to the vast changes that occur throughout childhood from the neonatal period to adolescence. Consequently, the Canadian Laboratory Initiative on Pediatric Reference Intervals (CALIPER) programme has recently […]
Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass is associated with significant alterations in the hemostatic system. Standard laboratory coagulation tests are frequently used to assess coagulopathies and to guide hemostatic interventions. However, these tests present major limitations. Viscoelastic testing in conjunction with the implementation of a specific algorithm for coagulation management in cardiac surgery enables better control […]
Controls are a crucial part of any assay. Without them, our work is, at best, simply a waste of time and reagents. We know we need them but we probably should give them much more thought than we do. CLI caught up with Dr John Hedges, Director of Research and Development at Asuragen (a Bio-Techne […]
