Today, we're speaking to Dr Sophie Ansems, a GP and PhD candidate, and Dr Lianne Mulder, both based at the Department of Primary and Long-term Care at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. Title of paper: General practitioners' perspectives on diagnostic testing in children with persistent non-specific symptomsAvailable at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2023.0683It is known that GPs employ diagnostic tests in adults with persistent non-specific symptoms for motives beyond strictly diagnostic purposes, but comparable research has not been conducted in children. This study adds that although GPs want to limit unnecessary invasive procedures in children, non-diagnostic motives to test are considered important, for example to provide reassurance or secure the GP-patient relationship. The decision to conduct diagnostic tests in children with persistent non-specific symptoms is based on a complex trade-off among medical considerations, psychosocial factors, consultation management, and efficient resource utilization. Awareness amongst GPs of the motives underlying their own testing behaviour in children with PNS could prompt changes in their testing practices.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if a virus could talk? Well, wonder no more! Welcome to the latest episode of Join the Docs, where Professor Jonathan Sackier and Doctor Nigel Guest dive deep into the world of measles, discussing everything from its sneaky cause to its easy-to-spot symptoms and tricky diagnosis because there are no specific treatments, one needs sound prevention strategies.But wait, there's more! The Docs are joined by the one and only Ruby, who isn't just any guest—she's the personification of the measles virus itself! Ruby Ola spills the beans on ‘her' mischievous behaviour and the havoc she mischievously  visits on unsuspecting hosts.Ever thought about the history of measles and how it has evolved over time? The conversation takes a trip down memory lane, highlighting the ancient origins of this pesky virus and the rollercoaster ride of outbreaks and epidemics. Ruby emphasises how misinformation is her best friend and how it keeps her in the spotlight. She reminds everyone that evidence-based medicine is her arch-nemesis and the key to keeping her at bay.Why is vaccination so crucial in the fight against measles? The Docs stress the critical role of those tiny but mighty vaccines in preventing the resurgence of this highly contagious, very nasty and potentially fatal disease.

Have you ever wondered why some heart conditions slip through the cracks? I do. And myocardial bridges are one of those conditions. Join me as I speak with my very own primary care physician, Dr. Thomas Hopkins, more affectionately known as Dr. Tom. He joins us to unpack the mysteries of diagnosing chest pain in the hopes we can catch a symptomatic myocardial bridge sooner rather than later. With a journey that spans from aspiring heart surgeon to passionate primary care physician, Dr. Tom brings a unique perspective on cardiac health. This episode uncovers the critical importance of educating both patients and healthcare providers about myocardial bridges—a frequently misdianosed but potentially fatal condition. Dr. Tom walks us through a comprehensive approach to diagnosing chest pain, ensuring that no deadly condition is overlooked. From initial assessments to advanced diagnostic tests, Dr. Tom explains the systematic pathway to accurately diagnose cardiac conditions from the perspective of a primary care physician or general practitioner. We delve into the limitations of primary care settings and the indispensable role of timely referrals to cardiologists. The urgency of quick action is highlighted, especially when conditions like myocardial bridging are suspected. This episode is a must-listen for anyone eager to understand the nuances of cardiac diagnostics and the vital need for vigilance in recognizing heart issues, especially if you or a loved one are experiencing chest pain that makes no sense. Effective communication between patients and their physicians is paramount for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Tom emphasizes the importance of patients sharing their symptoms, risk factors, and behaviors openly with their doctors. He provides key questions to guide these conversations, ensuring timely interventions and specialist referrals. This episode not only highlights the clinical significance of myocardial bridges but also underscores the value of expressing gratitude for medical support. By fostering mutual respect and teamwork in the patient-doctor relationship, the greater the likelihood the condition can be diagnosed in a timely and proper manner to get the proper treatment before something more serious occurs. It's both Dr. Tom's and you know my belief, that there are many out there who are going to experience only one symptom from a myocardial bridge and that's sudden cardiac arrest. Starting the conversation correctly from the beginning may just help save lives and improve lifestyles sooner for those getting proper diagnosis.

Maria Zannes, Founder and CEO of bioAffinity Technologies, has developed a noninvasive diagnostic test to screen for early-stage lung cancer. The test uses porphyrin to label cells to find cell populations with cancer cells. Using mucus from the lungs, this is a second test for people who are at high risk, giving them a chance to avoid more invasive procedures to determine their risk level and if they have lung cancer. Maria explains, "The combination of being able to determine that cancer is present in the lungs with our test, coupled with the noninvasive nature of the test itself really spoke to me. Having a test for early detection of lung cancer where the treatment can be so much more effective and people can live so much longer and healthier lives is compelling." "It's very simple for the patient and the doctor. The patient would go in, let's say they had a positive low-dose CT, they weren't sure, and the physician would then give the patient a small box. It's a 5x5 box with a little collection cup inside. We have a patient coach, an individual who calls the patient, and helps them to provide a sample, often early in the morning. People out of a shower start to cough up a little bit of mucus." "The results tell the physician whether the patient is at high risk or has lung cancer or does not, but also gives them a numerical score, so the physician himself or herself has a little bit more to go on than just a yes or no answer." @bioAffinity #LungCancer #CancerDiagnostic #Medtech #Biotech #CancerTreatment #CancerDiagnosis  bioaffinitytech.com Listen to the podcast here

Billions upon billions of microbial organisms inhabit the earth and our bodies. When we get sick because of modern-day medicine and technology developments, we can often pinpoint exactly which microbial organisms are the source of the problem. But how, exactly? Karius Chief Technical Officer Sivan Bercovici and Medical Director Dr. Sarah Park joined Host David Kemp to talk about the Karius diagnostic test and how it breaks barriers in antimicrobial research. Karius surfaced out of transplantation research at Stanford, where researchers learned DNA from microbes is sent to the bloodstream and can then be harvested and analyzed. This analysis has two aspects: chemistry, which is capturing as many molecules as possible, and machine learning, which makes sense of the data. “We all have microbes, and we have mixtures of microbes. And what's making very hard is that this mixture of microbes or self-DNA coming from these microbes, they can be similar to one another, they can be similar to other things,” explained Bercovici. "Machine learning had to kick into de-convolute that signal to tell you exactly which microbes you have and exactly what concentration of those microbes,” he continued. Bercovici added, “Unless you apply these algorithms, you end up with a pile of pieces of DNA that are impenetrable for any physician.”The immunocompromised population is just one example of why diagnostic tests are necessary. With this population, they could have multiple infections due to a lack of immunity. “As a clinician, you really have to think about ‘What test do I order?'” Dr. Park explained. This can be difficult with insurance, which may not agree to cover a test a physician deems necessary, and physicians often end up ordering multiple tests. “This is where tests like the Karius test can be very useful in conjunction with your other tests to be able to add potentially the answer to the question you're asking, which is: “What is causing the problem for my patient?'” Dr. Park stated.With the Karius test, the earlier you use it, the better the results will be, but the results still need to be interpreted in the context of each patient. The test result is not meaningful until put in the context of the patient—what medications they are on, their potential exposures, and other factors. The same microbe detected in patient A will not have the same effect in patient B if their clinical status is different. "It's like looking at pieces of a puzzle, and some of the pieces are together, and without the Karius test, we are still missing a huge part of the picture. And hopefully what the Karius test does is fill in more of that picture and make that picture more meaningful so that the clinician can actually use the appropriate antimicrobials, know how to manage the patient better, potentially have that chance to save the patient,” Dr. Park explained.For more on the Karius diagnostic test and its impact on antimicrobial research and clinical use, visit Spotify, Apple iTunes, YouTube, or www.marketscale.com.

Studies show even qualified Health Care Professionals are poor at understanding basic concepts such as sensitivity, specificity (measures of test accuracy) and issues to do with probability… Do you know what Bayes' Theorem is? Do you know your predictive values? Why can even highly sensitive tests miss diseases?Listen to the weeks episode of MEMcast with Dr Rachel Saville and Dr Nicola Cooper to find out!

Dr. Tadd Lazarus is the Chief Medical Officer at Pictor, working on innovative diagnostic tests to provide answers to complicated clinical questions concerning the status of a patient's level of antibodies. From one specimen, their test can determine if the antibodies have been produced as a result of vaccinations or boosters and if the patient had the disease being tested for.  Their mission is to help patients determine if they have effective antibody levels and are able to have the kind of response that will be protected them over time. Tadd explains, "We develop innovative diagnostic solutions to enable more informed clinical decisions both in human and animal health. Specifically, we have a highly multiplexed platform that really changes the way antibodies are detected. As we know from COVID, antibodies are proteins that our body manufactures in response to infectious agents, except we detect them differently. We detect antibodies in an incredibly focused and what we call highly multiplexed manner, so that we have an incredibly sensitive and specific test. But moreover, it's able to detect multiple antibodies that the body produces for multiple infectious agents at one time. That's a very big change." "One of the reasons why it is important to determine if vaccinations and boosters are effective is that there are antibodies that can be administered to patients intravenously if those patients are determined not to have a clinically significant antibody response to vaccinations/boosters and/or infection. And those formulations are getting tweaked now for more predominant strains, so making sure that they're covered. So there's something that we can do about that for the immunosuppressed, the elderly, and the immunocompromised, who are not showing a healthy and protective antibody response." @PictorLtd #pictor #PictArray #IVD #Biotech #Innovative #HumanHealth #COVID #Antibodies #AntibodyTest #ImmuneSystem PictorDX.com Download the transcript here

Shownotes   Epigenetics and DNA Methylation: Changing the biggest predictor of negative health outcomes   DNA methylation is basically the switching on and off of gene expression expression. This can be used robustly in diagnostics. We have genes in our DNA that based on how we live our lives and the things that we take in (that makes up our cellular environment) then put marks on our DNA (methylation tags) that basically silence some genes.   Assimilation and Histone Modification in Genetic Modification   Methylation and Biological Age Testing   DNA Methylation is now used for quantifying the body's aging process.   Biological age from methylation tests predicts longevity, aging and disease more accurately.   People who have been found to have lower biological age tend to develop less negative health outcomes while those that are older in terms of biological age tend to develop negative health outcomes more frequently and earlier.   Methylation and Anti-Aging   Algorithms shift the way we practice medicine. Information about our daily lives is actually encoded in our gene expression.   Trauma can also be also passed on through epigenetics.   Transgenerational Epigenetic Transference shows how traumatic events can change the environment of our cells to basically protect generations and how it gets passed down.   Within our conscious control, we can slowly start to break free of some of that imprinting.   Is de-methylation possible: In aging, yes. Some things are modifiable, some are not.   Epigenetics and Stress   Stress is the number one driver of CTRA and telomere shortening which is a marker for aging and disease.   Is methylation bad for you: There are genes that we would want to be suppressed and not. It's not about good or bad. The more important thing is the idea and ability to methylate and the methylation factors. Ryan's Best Medicine: Mindfulness.

In this episode of the podcast, Dr. Erin Donaldson hosts Michael Chapman, Director of Product Innovation, and Patti Devers, Chief Clinical Officer, of Genova Diagnostics. This global, clinical laboratory is pioneering a system-based approach that supports healthcare providers in personalizing treatment and prevention of chronic disease. Together, they discuss the specifics of Genova's diagnostics tests – for gut health, methylation, nutrient deficiencies, and more – and the key biomarkers that have major implications on our health and disease risk.

A 23-year-old presents to the emergency department with progressive symptoms. It starts with tingling in the fingertips that lead to leg cramps that turn into feeling like she's turning into stone, frozen in one position with stabbing pain. And perhaps most troubling, she can't concentrate. In fact, the brain fog is so severe that she's afraid to drive.  Over the course of three days, her life has been turned upside down. She takes a taxi to the emergency department and is seen after waiting six hours. She provides a quick medical history, noting she recently had neck surgery for parathyroid overactivity — an important clue to her diagnosis. Parathyroid glands produce parathyroid hormone that regulates the blood calcium level, which maintains bone strength and helps muscles and nerves function. Calcium levels in the blood have to be kept at a very specific level. Just like in your physiology lectures: HYPERcalcemia and HYPOcalcemia. And calcium levels that are either too high or too low can be deadly. But in moving quickly in the emergency department, testing for serum calcium is overlooked. A patient with recent neck surgery has symptoms consistent with low blood calcium levels —  why not check her calcium? It's true that in a chaotic ER things can be overlooked. But a lot of time, calcium isn't ordered because it's not part of the regular "electrolyte” or “chemistry” panel — it has to be added specifically. With computer systems and the way test panels like these are built, they can shape the thinking of physicians, putting certain symptoms front of mind, while others might get neglected. Fortunately, a diagnosis was caught early enough for this patient that no long-term damage was done. But this case serves as a reminder that although rare diseases are rare, it doesn't mean as a healthcare professional, you'll never encounter them.

You need to watch this very important 12-minute video (Stew Peters interviews Dr. Aryana Love) to find out the true purpose of the PCR test. The Inventor of the PCR test said at the beginning the PCR test was not for diagnosis.  Then he conveniently died and Big Pharma bought it.  You will see when you click below you can't deny this information on human cloning because it's on the NIH website.  It's indisputable, but the  "fact-checkers" who were created to misinform, probably will find some excuse.  Please pass it on and warn others who think the PCR is a diagnostic test.  Send your friends to: freedomfromaddiction.libsyn.com.  https://m.beforeitsnews.com/eu/2022/10/patent-pcr-tests-linked-to-human-cloning-and-cross-species-genetics-2695509.html 

This week, Surfing the NASH Tsunami returns to a subject we have explored from time to time over the past two years: helping patients with cirrhosis. While the immediate stimulus for doing so was the semaglutide late-breaker at #ILC2022, our more general interest is that many patients with cirrhosis will start to decompensate and decline in a fairly short period of time. This first conversation begins to look at the importance of identifying cirrhotic patients as early in the disease process as possible and the diagnostic tests that are most helpful in coming to a diagnosis. (Ideally, patients will be diagnosed long before they become cirrhotic, but many patients are never diagnosed with or treated for NASH before progressing to cirrhosis.)Roger Green starts this conversation by discussing NASH Tsunami's history of cirrhosis episodes and the issues we have focused on. At that point, he turns to Jörn Schattenberg to discuss the importance of diagnosis and the tools available to do so.

Dr. Eric Brouwer is the Chief Scientific Officer for SQI Diagnostics, which believes that lung health is human health.  Their focus is on the lung and ranges from COVID PCR, antigen, and antibody tests, across the spectrum to assessing lung transplant donors. With demand going up for lung transplants and new protocols for COVID screening of donors, diagnostic tests help better identify good candidates for organ donors. Eric elaborates, "We're a Canadian-based company, and we have the distribution rights in Canada for a technology that was developed by the US military. The product is called Biomeme, and it's a portable PCR analyzer. So it does very rapid thermocycling that will enable the results to be delivered in just over two hours." "This is deployed in mines and remote locations, on TV and film crew sets, and so that technology exists. We're using it, and that really makes that testing cycle reduced, so we can get same-morning tests, same-day testing, versus sending it in to a central lab which has the travel time, which has the review time, which has the execution time, that's pushing four to eight, sometimes 24 hours, before those results can get back. So the technology is out there, and it's becoming more widely available." #SQI #COVID #COVIDTesting #PCRTest #Lungs #LungTransplants #Antibodies #Inflammation #LungDiagnostics #TransplantDiagnostics #PrecisionMedicine SQIDiagnostics.com Download the transcript here

This episode focuses on the issue of what medical practices should do when they receive clinical information (often test results) about an individual who is not a recognized patient, or which did not originate from an order or request from the practice. This situation increases as patients have more options to self-refer for tests, and more ways to deliver results to providers. Examples include health fair reports, results of self-authorized tests, or records from external providers. Such information, once received, can present an information management dilemma and potential liability exposure. We walk through considerations such as evaluating if there is an existing provider-patient relationship, was the information sent in error, how clinically urgent the information is, and documentation steps to take. Show email for ideas or comments wnlpodcast@copic.com
