Use of adapted D-dimer thresholds rules out PE in high-risk patients
But instead of using different strategies on different patients, hospitals should standardize one strategy for their institution's use to gain the most benefit, wrote Dr. Frederikus Klok, PhD, of the Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands, and colleagues. The researchers also indicated that using such tests would reduce the need for clinical imaging.

Terahertz spectroscopy opens options in COVID-19 screening
Currently, there is a focus on developing antibody tests, for instance, which could also determine whether a patient had previously been infected, helping epidemiologists better understand the spread of the disease in a population. However, other researchers are thinking far outside the typical box of life science tools; some have turned to terahertz spectroscopy as a potential boon to COVID-19 detection.

Shared systems enable digital pathology deployments: Part 1
In radiology and cardiology, enterprise imaging systems (EIS), better known as PACS, have transformed the way studies are interpreted, stored, and shared. The same can be said for electronic medical record (EMR) systems that allow data to be mined and assist in patient diagnoses. Having access to all clinical data is especially crucial as artificial intelligence (AI) systems are starting to play a larger role in the radiology interpretation process. Yet digital pathology systems (DPS) seem to lag behind in terms of adoption.
