Presentation Recording Coming Soon PACE / State of FLThis webinar will discuss the advantages of using electrophysiology results to guide the selection of axonal or demyelinating testing for peripheral neuropathy. This approach can help identify specific antibodies associated with the condition, providing a more precise diagnosis, and improving patient outcomes. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment, as the therapeutic approach varies based on the underlying cause of peripheral neuropathy.

PACE / State of FLThis webinar will describe substance use disorders and the common laboratory tests and matrices used for controlled substance monitoring. The advantages and challenges of using oral fluid will be discussed along with how to correctly interpret oral fluid drug testing results.

PACE / State of FL- Presentation Recording Coming Soon This webinar will delve into the latest ASCO guidelines for selection of germline genetic testing panels for cancer patients. Key topics include the importance of taking and recording a detailed family and personal history, selecting the appropriate genes for testing, and determining when and to whom germline testing should be offered. The session will also address the practical implications of the ASCO guidelines, such as balancing the potential benefits of broader gene panel testing with the risks associated with uncertain results. Additionally, participants will gain insights into the specific technical challenges associated with germline genetic testing in cancer care and risk management.

PACE / State of FL This webinar will cover metagenomic sequencing for diagnosing central nervous system infection. Content will be shared regarding technical details, clinical applications, and results interpretation, drawing on both current literature and practice guidelines.

PACE/FL - This webinar will provide a brief history of the FDA’s interest in LDTs and review the new requirements in detail, serving as an introduction to medical device regulations in the context of a clinical laboratory.

PACE/FL - This webinar will cover the laboratory tests available at Mayo Clinic Laboratories to monitor patients using monoclonal antibody therapies for treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. Focus will be shared between analytical approaches as well as literature and practice recommendations for test results interpretation.

P.A.C.E./Florida Implementation of new analyzers and replacement of automation equipment in the Central Clinical Laboratory at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, prompted the laboratory to reassess blood collection volumes for commonly ordered tests.

PACE/State of FLPresentation Recording Coming Soon Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a devastating event that occurs unexpectedly, often without any prior symptoms. This webinar will discuss how postmortem genetic testing may be used in conjunction with a traditional autopsy to assist with establishing cause and manner of death.

Identification of early-onset IBD patients may enable tailored treatment and surveillance plans. With over 50 genes implicated in early-onset IBD, genetic testing should be included in the workup of children under the age of six with IBD. Join Mayo Clinic, in this “Specialty Testing” webinar, for a discussion of this testing and its clinical application.

This Specialty Testing webinar will discuss the spectrum of autoimmune movement disorders and explore diagnosis and treatment.
