When was the last time you thought about stool testing? Typically, most people don’t think about it until they’re suffering from chronic GI symptoms and visit a doctor or hospital. While standard stool tests are great for identifying pathogens, the common problem that surfaces for many primary care physicians is that general stool tests, like C. Diff, cannot identify chronic GI problems. This often results in physicians misdiagnosing their patients with ‘umbrella’ disorders such as IBS. Today, we discuss the similarities and differences between general stool tests and comprehensive specialty tests. We explain how relying on basic stool tests to diagnose patients with chronic GI problems can lead to misdiagnoses and unproductive treatment plans. We also discuss Genova’s flagship product, the GI Effects stool test, what it is, and why it is currently the most comprehensive stool test available on the market. Fellow Genovian, Ashley Gibbon, also joins us to discuss PCR testing. Ashley has been a Genovian for nearly two decades and is the Manager of the Product Research and Development department at Genova Diagnostics lab where she was responsible for assisting in the development of the PCR Parasite Test for the GI Effects stool test. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in General Biology from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and a Master of Health Sciences in Environmental Health from Western Carolina University. Ashley explains the PCR stool testing technique and how Genova lab technicians use the technique. She also explains when it’s appropriate - and not appropriate - to request a PCR test, what the test helps to identify, and the likelihood of receiving false-positive results from a PCR test.   “You need several methodologies to get a broad look at the entire microbiome in the GI tract.” - Patti Devers   This week on The Lab Report Podcast: The challenges of diagnosing patients based on general stool testing results and how specialty test benefit patients and physicians alike What makes Genova’s GI Effects stool test one of the most comprehensive tests on the market Common GI symptoms that Genova’s GI Effects stool test can help physicians properly diagnose and treat Introducing Ashley Gibbon, Genova’s Manager of Product Research & Development How Genova’s lab technicians are trained to properly identify parasites in stool samples How the PCR technique works Examples of when a PCR test would not be necessary The likelihood of getting false-positive results when using the PCR testing technique What the PCR technique tests for - and what it doesn’t     Question of the Day: Should you discontinue taking probiotics, digestive enzymes, and supplements before taking the GI Effects stool test?     Resources Mentioned: GI Effects Comprehensive Profile Stool Test GI Effects Test Prep   Subscribe, Rate & Review The Lab Report Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of The Lab Report, presented by Genova Diagnostics, with your hosts, Michael Chapman and Patti Devers.

In this dialogue with one of the best nature and science writers of our generation, David Quammen and Michael Shermer discuss his new book on the history of one of the most exciting revolutions in evolution and genetics that is unfolding before our eyes. In the mid-1970s, scientists began using DNA sequences to reexamine the history of all life. Perhaps the most startling discovery to come out of this new field—the study of life’s diversity and relatedness at the molecular level—is horizontal gene transfer (HGT), or the movement of genes across species lines. It turns out that HGT has been widespread and important. For instance, we now know that roughly eight percent of the human genome arrived not through traditional inheritance from directly ancestral forms, but sideways by viral infection—a type of HGT. In The Tangled Tree David Quammen chronicles these discoveries through the lives of the researchers who made them—such as Carl Woese, the most important little-known biologist of the twentieth century; Lynn Margulis, the notorious maverick whose wild ideas about “mosaic” creatures proved to be true; and Tsutomu Wantanabe, who discovered that the scourge of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a direct result of horizontal gene transfer, bringing the deep study of genome histories to bear on a global crisis in public health. As well, Quammen and Shermer discuss how molecular studies of evolution have brought startling recognitions about the tangled tree of life—including where we humans fit upon it. Thanks to new technologies such as CRISPR, we now have the ability to alter even our genetic composition—through sideways insertions, as nature has long been doing. They consider the ethical issues involved in bringing back extinct species, the meaning of the “self” if we are actually mosaics of different species, and the trans-humanist dream of re-engineering the human genome so our species can become post-human. David Quammen is the author of a dozen fiction and nonfiction books, including Blood Line and The Song of the Dodo. His book Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic was a finalist for seven awards and received two of them: the Science and Society Book Award, given by the National Association of Science Writers, and the Society of Biology (UK) Book Award in General Biology. A three-time National Magazine Award winner, he is a contributing writer for National Geographic and has written also for Harper’s, Outside, Esquire, The Atlantic, Powder, and Rolling Stone. He received honorary doctorates from Montana State University and Colorado College. He travels widely on assignment, usually to jungles, mountains, remote islands, and swamps.

Session 69 Taken directly from the OldPreMeds.org forums, today's question comes from Kyle, a student who's not really sure if he's interested in medicine. If you think you’re on the same boat as Kyle then all the more reason you should listen to this episode. This question basically relates a little bit to The Premed Years Session 229, where I spoke with Renee, a 54-year-old medical student. She was actually 53 when she reapplied to medical school. She was a former nurse turned nurse practitioner turned nurse educator and had a very successful career. But at the back of her mind, she has always wanted to be a physician. Through the encouragement of her kids, she actually went back and finally made a leap. Listen to her story about how she took the MCAT five times and had to reapply to medical school but was finally successful and is now a medical student. By the way, we have a new podcast coming up where we will be covering USMLE Step 1 and COMLEX Level 1, the first part of the board exams that you take as a medical student. Stay tuned as it will be out in a couple of weeks. [03:25] OldPreMeds Question of the Week: " I really need some objectivity right now. Up and down academic trend maybe 3.0 Science GPA, maybe a 3.1, graduated with a Allied Health degree, not strong GPA throughout program, finally picked it up final semester of my degree. Prereqs General Biology 1 - 3.7 after retake. General Biology 2 - 3.0. Postback, informal, very slow-paced right now. Chem 1 retake -4.0, Genetic - 4.0, Chem 2 - currently taking.  Here's the deal. I'm just not sure I really want to be a physician. There's a lot that goes into this thinking but fundamentally, I'm not sure I want to do what a doctor does. I've done volunteering, shadowing, etc. I like the science side of it and not really dealing with treating or caring for people. I've gone from pre-nursing, pre-pharm, to premed throughout my academic career and currently in a health profession that is none of those but I'm enjoying my job. Who else out there is struggling with this doubt? But it's not just doubt in my abilities, work ethic, time to do this while working full time. But like I said, fundamentally, I don't think I want that role like I once did. If someone was there before, what brought you back to pursue medicine? You hear that cliche that if you can see yourself doing something other than being a doctor, then don't become a doctor. This has been an ongoing multi-year, multi-seasoned fight and I just don't know if I have what it takes nor if I really want this." [05:07] Here are my thoughts: The short answer is go find something else to do. It's as simple as that. The role of a physician is very much ingrained in patient care. When you say you're not sure you want to do what a doctor does and that you really don't like dealing with treating or caring for people, that right there tells me that you should not be a doctor. And that's is truly okay. I talk about it on The Premed Years Podcast all the time that it is great to realize that you don't want to be a doctor because it's a long, hard, and expensive process. Then in the end, a lot of physicians actually question whether it was all worth it and a lot of physicians do not like being a doctor anymore. So for you to find this out now is great! Go find something else that you love to do. It doesn't even have to be in health care. You've talked about going from pre-nursing to pre-pharm to premed. Get out of medicine altogether and find something else that you really love. [06:35] A Farewell to Being Premed If you're struggling with similar things as Kyle is, I highly recommend you listen to Session 29 of The OldPreMeds Podcast where I read a post from somebody who wrote a farewell letter to being a premed. It's a great post from somebody who realized that it wasn't just what they wanted anymore. And that's okay. Going back to Kyle, congratulations for figuring this out. Go enjoy whatever it is that you're meant to do. Go find it.
