  • Molecular Pathology, An Issue of Clinics in Laboratory Medicine

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 33-4
    • Martin H. Bluth
    • English
    Molecular pathology has significantly matured over the past decade to establish itself as a discipline in its own right. Patient diagnosis, prognosis, management and care have been influenced by molecular pathology testing algorithms on a global scale. Whether it pertains to carrier status of deleterious genes, diagnosis by molecular techniques, assessment of appropriate remission post treatment, parentage or forensics testing – molecular pathology continues to increase its presence and influence in the diagnostic laboratory armamentarium. Furthermore, intellectualization and proprietization of molecular pathology with respect to the discovery of new genes and or new techniques continues to pose new challenges of test ownership, legalities, liabilities, widespread acceptance and utility. This issue of Laboratory Clinics seeks to provide selective state of the art understanding of molecular pathology with respect to its relationship to key pathology disciplines as well as the current challenges and promise for the future

  • Adolescent Cardiac Issues, An Issue of Pediatric Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 61-1
    • Richard Humes
    • English
    Most physicians entering the field of pediatric cardiology are drawn to it by an interest in the wide variety of congenital heart defects which present at various ages. Most congenital heart disease will be evident in early life, presenting with cyanosis, heart murmur, congestive heart failure or shock. Textbooks in pediatric cardiology are filled overwhelmingly with chapters on the various congenital heart lesions which are encountered, both rare and common. However, practicing pediatric cardiologists will be quick to point out that a significant number of referrals to any practice do not involve congenital heart problems. Reviewing our own statistics at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan Cardiology Center for the past two years (2010-2012) reveals that outpatient visits for new patient consultations examined by age groups are: less than 1 year of age – 11%; 1-5 years – 23%; 6-10 years – 21%; 11-18 years – 45%. Retrospective data collected from billing codes, as in this brief survey, may imprecise. However, it does provide a snapshot of the usual referral problems encountered by pediatric cardiologists. In our practice, the most common overall reason for referral in all ages was “heart murmur”, constituting 26% of total referrals. Second were rhythm and rhythm related problems (inclusive of palpitations, abnormal ECG and diagnosed premature beats) constituted 19% of the total. In the age group of interest for this book of 11-18 years, the most common presenting issues were rhythm related (23%) and chest pain (23%), followed by syncope or dizziness (19%) and heart murmur (12%). Congenital heart disease diagnoses encountered in the 11 to 18 year age group comprised only 6.5% of referrals within that age group. It is likely that many of these were not new diagnoses (with a few exceptions), but rather represented transfers to our practice. Our own outpatient clinical experience reveals that the majority of outpatients referred by pediatricians for pediatric cardiology evaluation are between the ages of 11 and 18. The majority of these new referrals are not for congenital heart disease. Our intent for this edition of Pediatric Clinics of North America is to describe the types of problems which seem to be of concern to the pediatric community within this age group and to describe strategies for evaluation. "This issue of PCNA surely will prove to be a valuable collection for any motivated primary care professional dealing with adolescents health."Reviewed by: Neel Kamal, Feb14

    Eine verstärkte Reisetätigkeit der einheimischen Bevölkerung und von Bürgern mit Migrationshintergrun... in subtropische und tropische Regionen und Länder mit geringerem Hygienestandard sowie die Immigration verschiedener Völkergruppen erhöht das Risiko einer importierten Parasiteninfektion. Die Diagnostik erfordert hier neben grundlegendem Wissen über die Verbreitung und den Lebenszyklus der einzelnen Parasiten auch Kenntnisse über die sichersten Nachweisverfahren in den unterschiedlichen Stadien einer Infektion. In diesen Leitlinien wird deshalb das Gesamtgebiet der Laboratoriumsdiagnos... von Parasiten-Infektione... beschrieben. Im Allgemeinen Teil werden Besonderheiten dargestellt, die für die Auswahl der Patienten und der Untersuchungsmateria... sowie den Versand zu beachten sind. Weiterhin werden Untersuchungsmethode... gezeigt, die in jedem parasitologischen Labor Anwendung finden. Im Speziellen Teil folgen, thematisch geordnet, alle relevanten Parasitosen mit Angabe des Erregers, seiner Verbreitung und ein Hinweis zum Infektionszyklus. Der Untersuchungsgang wird so dargestellt, dass der Leser erkennen kann, an welcher Stelle des Untersuchungsganges ggf. die Unterstützung durch ein Fachlabor erforderlich ist (Stufendiagnostik). Im Anhang findet sich ein tabellarischer Überblick über die erforderlichen Probenmaterialien und den darin zu erwartenden Erregern und auch Hinweise auf die von Parasiten ausgelösten klinischen Symptome. Eine tabellarische, alphabetisch geordnete Auflistung aller behandelten Parasitosen ermöglicht zum Abschluss eine schnelle Orientierung über eine sinnvolle Anordnung der Untersuchungsgänge.
