University of Houston College of Pharmacy, Health 2, 4349 Martin Luther King Blvd, Houston, TX 77204, United States.
Background: The hospital at home (HaH) model has become more prevalent in the American healthcare system due to its ability to decrease acute care costs and readmission risk. Recent publications have provided guidance on optimizing medication management and patient safety by leveraging clinical pharmacy services. There is limited data on pharmacoeconomic impact of HaH implementation, specifically in underinsured patients.

A promising application of digital pathology is the use of Whole slide imaging (WSI) for rapid and remote intraoperative consultations. Based on recommendations from the College of American Pathologists, we compared diagnostic accuracy and technical analysis of WSI with optical microscopy (OM) for reporting frozen sections (FS). A series of 105 consecutive FS cases were included in our study and were categorized as primary diagnosis, assessment of margin status, and lymph node status.

This study aimed to evaluate a new protocol of the bile solubility test performed directly on the blood from positive blood culture bottles to identify rapidly. Seventy-five positive blood cultures (PBC) showing Gram-positive cocci in pairs or chains on Gram stain, including 32 isolates and three reference American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) isolates were included to evaluate the performance of a modified bile solubility test (MBST). One milliliter of blood from the PBC bottle was mixed with 0.

School of Medicine, College of Medicine, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taipei, Taiwan.
Unlabelled: BluePoint MoldID can identify 43 fungal species through nucleic acid array hybridization and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) can identify 247 filamentous fungi through mass spectrometry. First, 43 standard isolates from the Bioresource Collection and Research Center, Taiwan, and the College of American Pathologists and 41 clinical species isolates confirmed by rDNA-ITS sequencing were analyzed using BluePoint MoldID and Bruker MALDI-TOF MS. BluePoint MoldID accurately identified 79% (34/43) of the standard isolates to the species level but failed to recognize nine isolates absent from its database; additionally, 87.
