Texas Riverwalk Chapter Community

Inside the Lab focuses on current topics showcasing the everyday laboratory professional and pathologist. Episodes center on current topics, such as mentorship, burnout, retention of community practitioners, serology, patient care, and more to build awareness of the work of pathologists and laboratory professionals.

THIS WEEK'S EPISODE: Emerging Respiratory Viruses Inside the Lab is joined by experts Drs. Hannah Wang from the Cleveland Clinic and Rodney Rohde from Texas State University to discuss emerging respiratory viruses. Their discussion begins with lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and an overview of what technologies have emerged since. They go on to discuss the virology and surveillance strategies for H5N1 and RSV, as well as vaccine hesitancy and its impact in the treatment of measles. https://d5t8v204.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/OU+113/d5t8V204/VVK7wy4Z_z97W9dwcf015Dxb0W4KxtYX5vx-_XN1-yX_-3qn9gW7Y8-PT6lZ3ptW7ww5s09bRZnDW2tgML58Gkv0MW1cy9qC24Sc2wW1GPLrt7wX6KLW35Rlyt8vvNgpVmXJwS6kjdRsW5LpTH38yMChMW2C-h3j4K2V17W8dkFqy41SKMkW6KZmYd7gzGT7W6wzWfy3lsBYPVgYjFm9h9SCMW4z8sCm1LW4H7W2cbwvY2mfLVKW7PdF904GZ0s9V3r0d55dR9H-W69qcWv91Fr4qW3t34km8PzgwNW4KZklZ7ZMXbXW3ffgdg6LVTs9W8GJ3KH1RFYFdW4fDnrM6v5VYwW1QBWrj9hYN4RW4Fx-Rj12KxVfW8tJsMV2DrDdTW5bWmTR1jXtlkf4tj5Md04.

Key Takeaways: Lessons from COVID –19, such as the importance of proactively surveying patient populations, the diversification of assays, and supply chain issues, will frame responses to future emergent respiratory diseases.  Clinical labs can gain a more complete understanding of the extent of respiratory diseases circulation in the early stages of an outbreak by employing strategies like pool testing residual patient specimens.  Given the relationship between emerging respiratory disease and the environmental conditions that are conducive to their spread, physicians should be mindful of human/animal and human/environmental interactions by collaborating with veterinarians and public health officials.
