Point of care testing can provide clinical and economic benefits over centralized laboratory testing by decreasing turnaround time through elimination of transport and processing delays. This allows for more timely medical decisions and reduces unnecessary additional testing and treatment. Currently available microbiology point of care tests include those for group A strep, H. pylori, HIV, and various provider performed microscopic exams. Advantages include rapid results and controls, while disadvantages include potential for false results and need for training on test procedures.

This document discusses a new gastrointestinal testing method that can test for 22 pathogens including viruses, bacteria, and parasites from a fecal or anal swab sample. It offers fast results without needing culture growth, enabling quick diagnosis and treatment. The testing method identifies pathogens by detecting their DNA rather than waiting for cultures. It aims to provide doctors with an efficient and accurate testing option to improve patient care.
Routine Laboratory Investigations discusses the need for and types of laboratory investigations that can be performed. It covers classifications of tests based on where they are done, their sensitivity and specificity, and frequency of use in dental practice. Commonly used hematological investigations include complete blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, bleeding time, and clotting time. Tests of blood glucose levels are among the most frequently used serum chemistry investigations. The document emphasizes correctly interpreting results in the context of a patient's history and clinical findings.
This document discusses innovation in clinical laboratory medicine in France and immunology. It notes that historically, university hospital professors were expected to excel in teaching, medical duties, and research to quickly transfer innovations from research to patient care. However, recent regulations and cost-cutting have made this triple mission difficult by increasing administrative burdens and prioritizing reducing healthcare costs over quality. This threatens clinical research initiatives by medical laboratory scientists and reduces training opportunities for future professionals. Nonetheless, there is hope in increasing public awareness of the importance of laboratory medicine and engaging in networking and knowledge-sharing to support innovation.
The document describes a sepsis innovation portfolio comprised of therapeutics, diagnostics, devices, and digital health solutions to transform sepsis diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. It summarizes several projects, including a portable monitoring system for early sepsis detection using a sensor ring, a rapid diagnostic panel to detect endothelial cell damage and blood biomarkers of sepsis, an ultrasound device to non-invasively monitor lung function and fluid status, a point-of-care diagnostic using whole blood redox measurements, an immunotherapy using interleukin-15 to boost the immune response, and a diagnostic to directly detect microbial DNA and identify antibiotic resistance within 3 hours. The portfolio aims to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.

Adoption of electronic health records to document extensive clinical information brings with it the opportunity to utilise that information to support clinical research, and ultimately to support clinical decision making. In this talk, I discuss both these opportunities and the challenges that we face when working with real-world clinical data, and introduce some of the strategies that we are adopting to make this data more usable, and to extract more value from it. I specifically discuss the use of natural language processing to transform clinical documentation into structured data for this purpose.

This document discusses advanced next-generation DNA sequencing techniques for identifying bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It highlights how DNA sequencing can identify over 13,000 pathogen DNA codes and is not affected by transport or culture issues. Examples are given where DNA sequencing identified chronic infections that cultures failed to detect. The document emphasizes how biofilms are difficult to culture but can be identified by DNA sequencing, and are responsible for 80% of infections. It provides examples comparing DNA sequencing to traditional cultures for identifying pathogens in chronic wounds and urine samples. The document also discusses using DNA diagnostic tests to provide treatment recommendations like customized topical therapies and antibiograms.

This document discusses a study that used next-generation DNA sequencing to analyze the microbiome of neuropathic diabetic foot ulcers. The study found that DNA sequencing identified more bacterial diversity in the ulcers than traditional cultures. DNA sequencing also showed higher microbial loads in the ulcers compared to cultures. This demonstrates that cultures underrepresent the true bacteria present in chronic wounds like diabetic foot ulcers. The study provides support for using molecular diagnostic approaches like DNA sequencing rather than solely relying on traditional cultures to identify bacteria in chronic wounds.
Clinical laboratory science, also known as medical laboratory science or medical technology, is the health profession that provides laboratory services and information needed to diagnose and treat disease.
