Certain pathology business leaders are warning their colleagues that the era of private pathology group practice domination of the anatomic pathology marketplace is about to end. The only question is how rapidly the clinical and financial foundations of smaller pathology group practices erodes to the point where these groups are unable to generate adequate reimbursement to sustain the practice and the incomes of the individual pathologists.

Sexually transmitted diseases surged to a record high in the United States last year, with more than 2 million cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis nationwide, officials said recently. This was "the highest number ever," said the annual Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance Report released recently by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Most of the new cases — 1.6 million in 2016 — involved chlamydia, a bacterial infection that affects both men and women.

Influenza viruses mutate rapidly, which is why flu vaccines have to be redesigned every year. A new study from MIT sheds light on just how these viruses evolve so quickly, and offers a potential way to slow them down.
The MIT team found that flu viruses' rapid evolution relies in part on their ability to hijack some of the cellular machinery of the infected host cell — specifically, a group of proteins called chaperones, which help other proteins fold into the correct shape. When the viruses were unable to get help from these chaperones, they did not evolve as rapidly as when they could obtain extensive help from host chaperones. Moreover, the specific evolutionary trajectories followed by individual flu proteins depend on host chaperone activities.

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have developed a potential new strategy for detecting antibiotic susceptibility that could produce results in a fraction of the time needed for conventional tests. In a study today in Scientific Reports, the researchers describe the experimental approach, which involves coating a quartz-crystal resonator with bacterial cells and then measuring the change in cell-generated frequency noise when the bacteria are exposed to antibiotics.

In the rush to approve new medicines, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration often requires drug companies to study possible side effects and alternative doses for medicines once they hit the broader market.
A new analysis in the New England Journal of Medicine concludes that, in many cases, that’s not being done.
Dr. Steven Woloshin of the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice in Lebanon, New Hampshire, and colleagues looked at federal records and found that among the 614 studies mandated in 2009 and 2010, 20 percent were never started and 9 percent have been delayed.

Research at the University of York has revealed that genes are controlled by "nano footballs" — structures that look like footballs but 10 million times smaller than the average ball.
By placing tiny glowing probes on transcription factors — special chemicals inside cells which control whether a gene is switched 'on' or "off" — researchers gained a remarkable new insight into the way in which genes are controlled.

Biotin supplements taken at common over-the-counter doses can can interfere with the results of certain hormone assays, giving falsely high or low results that could lead to a misdiagnosis, researchers reported.

A scientist from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology has proposed a model that can predict the number of key carcinogenic events for each cancer type based on the relationship between morbidity and age. The results of his study were published in the prestigious journal Scientific Reports.
The progression from one carcinogenesis stage to another is defined by "driver" mutations in crucial genes, which cause the cell to acquire oncogenic properties such as the capacity for accelerated division and apoptosis resistance.

Not only is patient bad debt a growing problem for the nation's hospitals, but it is now getting national attention within the hospital industry. This is bad news for clinical laboratories and anatomic pathology groups, because the same trends causing increased patient bad debt at hospitals are doing the same thing within the lab industry.

Peripheral artery disease symptoms can vary from discomfort and difficulty walking to debilitating pain and even limb amputations from irreversible muscle damage. Treatment methods include blood-thinning medications and angioplasty or, in more severe cases, bypass surgery. However, a promising alternative to surgical intervention involves stimulating angiogenesis, or growth of new blood vessels, in order to increase blood flow at the ischemic site via delivery of angiogenic growth factors like Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Insulin-like Growth Factor-1.

However, researchers report that FANCM gene mutations are associated with early cancer development, as well as with toxicity to chemotherapy.
Cancer remains one of the biggest health burdens in the United States, with more than 1.6 million new cases of the disease diagnosed last year.
Genetic mutations are a major cause of cancer; they disrupt the normal processes that control cell growth, causing cells to grow out of control and form tumors.
