Patient benefit is used to assess the efficacy and feasibility of medical treatments. To assess patient benefit, a clear understanding of the patient's health prior to and after a procedure, treatment, or intervention is compared. Treatments which generate a patient benefit, with minimal or acceptable risks, may be approved for further clinical use.
Public, legal & ethical acceptability of animal research not only warrants respect for animal welfare & the 3Rs, but also that the perceived benefits can outweigh the pain, discomfort...

As hospitals and healthcare systems move toward value-based care, new management systems are needed to measure and improve clinical processes. This presents both an opportunity and a ch...
There is agreement among clinicians that laboratory analyses are indispensable for correct diagnosis of disease, therapy, and patient monitoring. It is evident that laboratory data should be...
Melanoma, a cancer of pigment-producing cells, accounts for nearly 200,000 new cases of cancer reported each year worldwide. It is the deadliest skin cancer. Alarmingly, in the U.S., the inci...
Biomarkers, with their associated “tsunami” of publications, represent what is arguably one of the largest areas of scientific inquiry in the history of biomedicine. Touted as the...
Control of infection from methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been a healthcare focus for more than 50 years. One of the reasons that active surveillance testing (AST) for...
The practice of laboratory clinical microbiology is finally changing driven by the assimilation of newer technologies, like Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization - Time of Flight/Mass S...
Contemporary serologic testing has revolutionized the field of celiac disease. Highly accurate serologic assays have shown the prevalence of celiac disease to be nearly 1:100 in many populat...
Although the incidence of breast cancer is steadily increasing, mortality rates are decreasing. This means that the majority of women with breast cancer now survive, making it even more impor...
Cancer research is being revolutionized by targeted gene panels, whole exome sequencing (WES), whole genome sequencing (WGS), and transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq).Many analyses, such as...
The eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4E is an oncogene elevated in an estimated 30% of cancers. The traditional view is that eIF4E drives proliferation and survival by increasing t...
