Performance of a Rapid Digital PCR Test for the Detection of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Variants.

Background: Next-generation sequencing is widely used for comprehensive molecular profiling for many cancers including lung cancer. However, the complex workflows and long turnaround times limit its access and utility. ChromaCode's High Definition PCR Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Panel (HDPCR™ NSCLC Panel) is a low-cost, rapid turnaround, digital polymerase chain reaction assay that is designed to detect variants in nine NSCLC genes listed in National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines.

An economic evaluation of the Whole Genome Sequencing source tracking program in the U.S.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) created the GenomeTrakr Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) Network in 2013, as a tool to improve food safety.

Long-term control of abdominal pain related to POTS: two case reports in pediatrics.

Aim: To describe two consecutive cases of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)-related chronic abdominal pain control in children after bilateral splanchnic block.

Patients & Methods: Two pediatric patients with chronic abdominal pain related to POTS received celiac and T11 splanchnic plexus block for pain control.

Results: While celiac plexus block did not provide any substantial relief of their pain, splanchnic block provided a long-term improvement in pain scores, nausea and vomiting cessation.
