New test can detect patients’ risk of harmful side effects from Alzheimer’s drugs
Today at ADLM 2024 (formerly the AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo), researchers will present data on a novel test that predicts whether Alzheimer’s patients are genetically predisposed to side effects from anti-amyloid drugs, a promising new class of Alzheimer’s therapeutics.
Novel study reveals that a surprising number of pregnant people are using cannabis — and need to be informed of its risks
Breaking research shows that rates of cannabis use during pregnancy are far higher than previously thought, a finding that could improve efforts to identify pregnant cannabis users and inform them of potential risks.
Breaking research on the use of race in prenatal screens, health outcomes of HIV-exposed children could advance healthcare for underserved populations
In a new study, researchers have demonstrated that there is an insufficient basis for incorporating race in prenatal screening for birth defects. In a second, separate study, researchers have found that HIV-exposed uninfected children are at higher risk for health problems compared to uninfected, unexposed children.

Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (formerly AACC) survey finds that FDA’s final laboratory developed tests rule will impede the fight against the U.S.’s drug epidemic
Today, the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (ADLM, formerly AACC) released the results of a survey that ADLM conducted to determine how the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) final laboratory developed tests rule will impact patient access to essential tests. The survey found that, in spite of certain tests being exempt from the rule, it will still force many laboratories, particularly those in hospitals, to discontinue critical tests, including those needed to identify prescription and illegal drug use.
MEDIA ADVISORY – Webinar: The U.S. FDA’s rule on LDTs – What it means for you

Strategies Behind Near-Zero COVID-19 Incidence in NBA “Bubble” Published in ADLM’s The Journal of Applied Laboratory Medicine
A report published today in the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine’s (formerly AACC’s) The Journal of Applied Laboratory Medicine describes the strategies used by the National Basketball Association (NBA) to limit COVID-19 exposure among the individuals who participated in the 2019–2020 season. The success of the NBA’s approach demonstrates that strict adherence to certain protocols can be highly effective in preventing disease outbreaks in a self-contained environment and serves as a model for future pandemic management.
