In this episode of the “Leveraging the Laboratory” podcast, host Jane Hermansen, outreach manager at Mayo Clinic Laboratories, is joined by Rachael Hulshizer, director of Market Access Payer Innovation at Mayo Clinic Laboratories, to discuss payer policy and strategies for helping patients avoid unnecessary out-of-pocket costs for medically necessary testing.
In this episode of “Lab Medicine Rounds,” Justin Kreuter, M.D., sits down with Melanie Bois, M.D., Associate Professor of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, a cardiovascular pathologist, and host of the Society for Cardiovascular Pathologies Podcast, to discuss why you should consider utilizing social media within your practice and how to maximize your efforts.
Linnea M. Baudhuin, Ph.D., and Emily K. Thoreson, M.S., CGC, explain how Mayo Clinic Laboratories renal genetics testing provides comprehensive, accurate and actionable results. Identifying a genetic cause helps guide the complex decisions involved with treating kidney disease.
William Morice II, M.D., Ph.D., chair of the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at Mayo Clinic and president of Mayo Clinic Laboratories, joins "Answers From the Lab" for his weekly leadership update with host Bobbi Pritt, M.D. In this episode, Dr. Pritt and Dr. Morice discuss the latest monkeypox developments, potential scenarios for monkeypox moving forward, and where the VALID Act stands.
Divyanshu (Div) Dubey, M.B.B.S., describes Mayo Clinic Laboratories' new diagnostic test for CIDP, or chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. The new test detects two antibodies — NF155 and CNTN1 — to enhance diagnosis and guide treatment decisions. Often misdiagnosed, CIDP is treatable if detected early.
In this episode of “Lab Medicine Rounds,” Justin Kreuter, M.D., sits down with Delaney Liskey, a regenerative sciences Ph.D. student at the Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, to discuss why patient-scientists are a valuable perspective in medical research, and what role they play.
This week on "Answers From the Lab," William Morice II, M.D., Ph.D., chair of the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at Mayo Clinic and president of Mayo Clinic Laboratories, joins "Answers From the Lab" for his weekly leadership update with host Bobbi Pritt, M.D. In this episode, Dr. Pritt and Dr. Morice discuss how monkeypox can be transmitted, the possibilities of a future Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), and access to testing.
John Lieske, M.D., describes Mayo Clinic Laboratories' new test for primary membranous nephropathy. PMND1 is a diagnostic cascade that provides a cost-effective approach to detecting antigens known to cause membranous nephropathy — a condition that can lead to kidney failure.
In this episode, Dr. Pritt and Dr. Morice discuss new developments in monkeypox testing, updates on the federal response, and lessons learned from managing other viruses.
Rong He, M.D., describes how Mayo Clinic Laboratories’ NPM1Q assay detects all known forms of a genetic mutation found in about 30% of people with acute myeloid leukemia, or AML. Identifying the NPM1 mutation is critical for clinical decision-making.
In this episode of “Lab Medicine Rounds,” Justin Kreuter, M.D., sits down with Bobbi Pritt, M.D., professor of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology and division chair for the Department of Clinical Microbiology at Mayo Clinic, to discuss why this year’s tick season is more severe than others.
John Osborn, operations administrator in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at Mayo Clinic, joins the "Answers From the Lab" podcast for a discussion with host Bobbi Pritt, M.D. about monkeypox testing. In this episode, John and Dr. Pritt discuss how Mayo Clinic swiftly operationalized monkeypox testing and the challenges involved with supporting the new assay, including staffing.
Rajiv Pruthi, M.B.B.S., explains how Mayo Clinic Laboratories’ serotonin release assay achieves high sensitivity and specificity while avoiding the use of radioactive materials. Serotonin release testing is an important tool in the diagnosis of heparin induced thrombocytopenia, or HIT, which can have devastating consequences for patients.
