NSH
Presented by Debra Horton, MT(ASCP),QIHC(ASCP), University Hospital, Birmingham, AL
Knowing how to troubleshoot a staining issue can be the biggest hurdle for most technologists. What you need to do and where to start can be a big question once you have looked at your slides, and the answers may not always be the same depending on the circumstances. This webinar will demonstrate how to troubleshoot poor quality staining and go step by step to come up with the best solution. Register your lab today!

The NSH Quality Committee is proud to release the CAP NSH Resource Crosswalk. Requested by several NSH members, this tool provides a way to link CAP checklist items with applicable NSH resources. Each CAP checklist (applicable to Histology) is listed in a separate tab on the excel file: ANP, COM, GEN, TLC. Each tab is sortable by filter. To coincide with the CAP’s annual checklist updates, this crosswalk will be updated annually to address the CAP Checklist revisions. Check it out today.

Every year, approximately 12 million adults in the U.S. are diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, and 120,000 die from it. For people with COPD, Haemophilus influenzae, a bacterium, can be particularly dangerous.
The microbe can reside in their lungs and wreak havoc within already weakened organs. Identifying the genetic variations of this microbe is vital to treating these patients effectively.

When President Obama announced the Precision Medicine Initiative at the State of the Union in 2015, it recognized more than a decade of work that scientists and medical researchers had already committed to identifying the underlying genetic causes of diseases and specific pathways to treatment. To date, there have been measurable gains in the application of precision medicine approaches across a series of therapeutic areas, most notably oncology.

Scientists working at several institutions across the globe have identified a new antibody that protects against malaria, a potentially revolutionary discovery that could lead to new and improved malaria treatments and even the holy grail of a universal malaria vaccine.
The antibody is detailed in two separate reports published recently in the scientific journal Nature. It was discovered independently by two groups of researchers, one of which was led by scientists from Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the National Institutes of Health.

With growing regularity, new discoveries about the human Microbiome have been reported in scientific journals and the media. Some of these discoveries have led to innovations in clinical laboratory tests over the past few years. Dark Daily reported on these breakthroughs, which include: improved cancer drugs, life extension, personalized medical treatments (AKA, precision medicine), genetic databases and women’s health.

In the largest study of its kind, nine novel genes for osteoarthritis have been discovered by scientists from the Wellcome Sanger Institute and their collaborators. Results of the study, published recently in Nature Genetics, could open the door to new targeted therapies for this debilitating disease in the future. Almost 9 million people in the U.K. suffer from osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease in which a person's joints become damaged, stop moving freely and become painful. Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent musculoskeletal disease and a leading cause of disability worldwide.

Duke scientists have developed working human muscle tissue from stem cells, edging closer to creating more personalized therapies for disease.
The researchers — led by Nenad Bursac, professor of biomedical engineering — converted pluripotent stem cells, which are a class of cells that can be induced into almost any cell type in the body, to muscle tissue using a carefully coordinated chemical system.

Aiming nanosized spears at cells could be an easy and inexpensive way to dispense gene therapy. In an early proof-of-concept study, nanospears — propelled by a magnetic field — successfully hit target cells in a dish and safely transferred their genetic cargo inside.
Gene therapies involve genetically engineering the body’s tissues by inserting DNA into cells. In a dish, such therapies can activate immune cells to fight cancer, or correct genetic disorders like sickle cell disease. However, these treatments are difficult to translate to the clinic and expensive to carry out.

Anatomic pathologists working for reference laboratories can now provide diagnostic services to hospitals, critical-access hospitals, and ambulatory care facilities in the U.S. based on the organization’s Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments status, rather than the usual credentialing and privileging. The Joint Commission made the change effective January 2018.

It took eight long years of research, but now an international team led by neuroscientists at Université de Montréal has discovered a basic molecular mechanism that better helps understand how Lou Gehrig's disease, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, works.
And that basic science could someday lead to new therapy for the debilitating disease, which cripples people by removing the brain's ability to communicate with their muscles, eventually leading to paralysis and early death.

Glove boxes are completely closed compartments ranging in size from a few cubic feet to several hundred cubic feet and differ from other safety enclosures in two significant respects: users can introduce articles into glove boxes and manipulate them inside through ports fitted with gloves, and glove boxes typically use a specialized atmosphere.
