Combining melting curve analysis enhances the multiplexing capability of digital PCR. Here, we developed a 14‐plex assay to simultaneously measure single nucleotide mutations and amplifications of KRAS and GNAS, which are common driver genes in pancreatic cancer precursors. This assay accurately quantified variant allele frequencies in clinical samples

Accuration of Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy in Musculoskeletal Tumour [PDF]
Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) has been reported to be the preferable choice of biopsy for musculoskeletal tumour. While FNAB appears to have advantages to core biopsy in the aspect of simplicity and cost, the diagnostic accuracy should be the most

Einfluss der Art der Materialgewinnung auf die Diagnosefindung in der Lungenpathologie [PDF]
Das Ziel der Arbeit ist die Darstellung der Möglichkeiten der Kryobiopsien für die Diagnostik von Lungenerkrankungen und Pleuraerkrankungen. Es wurde zunächst gezeigt, dass die transbronchialen Kryobiopsien einen deutlichen morphologischen Unterschied ...

A biopsy is more than a biopsy [PDF]
This issue of JGIM contains a review, by Alguire, about commonly performed skin-biopsy procedures that serves as a comprehensive reference for generalists.1 Generalists need to know more than biopsy technique, however, especially now that managed care is pressuring them to do more themselves and to refer less to consultants like dermatologists.

Dual targeting of AKT and mTOR using MK2206 and RAD001 reduces tumor burden in an intracardiac colon cancer circulating tumor cell xenotransplantation model. Analysis of AKT isoform‐specific knockdowns in CTC‐MCC‐41 reveals differentially regulated proteins and phospho‐proteins by liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometry. Circulating tumor cells

A prospective adaptive utility trial to validate performance of a novel urine exosome gene expression assay to predict high-grade prostate cancer in patients with prostate-specific antigen 2-10ng/ml at initial biopsy [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Discriminating indolent from clinically significant prostate cancer (PCa) in the initial biopsy setting remains an important issue. Prospectively evaluated diagnostic assays are necessary to ensure efficacy and clinical adoption.

Preimplantation biopsy predicts delayed graft function, glomerular filtration rate and long-term graft survival of transplanted kidneys [PDF]
Background The predictive value of preimplantation biopsies for long-term graft function is often limited by conflicting results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of time-zero graft biopsy histological scores on early and late graft ...

Alectinib resistance in ALK+ NSCLC depends on treatment sequence and EML4‐ALK variants. Variant 1 exhibited off‐target resistance after first‐line treatment, while variant 3 and later lines favored on‐target mutations. Early resistance involved off‐target alterations, like MET and NF2, while on‐target mutations emerged with prolonged therapy.

Gaucher Disease and Myelofibrosis: A Combined Disease or a Misdiagnosis? [PDF]
Background: Gaucher disease (GD) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF) share similar clinical and laboratory features, such as cytopenia, hepatosplenomegaly, and marrow fibrosis, often resulting in a misdiagnosis.
