FDA Changes to Laboratory Developed Test Regulation: Livestreamed Expert Panel
Newswise

Live from the annual conference of the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (ADLM, formerly AACC), experts will discuss how the new FDA rule on laboratory developed tests will hinder patient care. This rule will place these tests under duplicative FDA oversight, even though laboratory developed tests are already regulated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This will force many labs to stop performing these essential tests, which play a critical role in diagnosing rare disorders, such as inherited genetic conditions in newborns.

Michigan Medicine - University of Michigan

More than two-thirds of people taking blood thinners take direct oral anticoagulants, or DOACs, which are under- or over-prescribed in up to one in eight patients. A new study finds that most prescribing issues for DOACs occur after a provider writes the initial prescription. Researchers say the findings highlight why patients on DOACs need to be monitored consistently.

Newswise: Why the Most Prescribed Chemotherapy Drug Can Cause Serious Heart Damage

Why the Most Prescribed Chemotherapy Drug Can Cause Serious Heart Damage
Tufts University

There’s still much to learn about how doxorubicin, a 50-year-old chemotherapy drug, causes its most concerning side effects. While responsible for saving many lives, this treatment sometimes causes cardiac damage that stiffens the heart and puts a subset of patients at risk for future heart failure. To better understand and potentially control such complications, Tufts University School of Medicine and Tufts Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences researchers have isolated the immune cells that become overactive when patients take doxorubicin.
