UK NEQAS in antibiotic assays.
How providers of external quality assessment (EQA) programmes relate to and interact with the monitors and watchdog of clinical laboratory performance in the UK is described. With regard to the quality of antibiotic assays, the changes in methodologies and in performance quality between 1971 (when the UK NEQAS for Antibiotic Assays began) and 1999 is reviewed. How improvements in performance an...
متن کاملThe UK National External Quality Assessment Scheme (UK NEQAS) for molecular genetic testing in haemophilia.
Molecular genetic analysis of families with haemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders is now a common laboratory investigation. In contrast to phenotypic testing in which strict quality control is adhered to, in haemophilia molecular genetic testing there has been a lack of any external quality assurance schemes. In 1998 the UK National External Quality Assessment Scheme (UK NEQAS) est...
متن کاملHow close are we to standardised extended RAS gene mutation testing? The UK NEQAS evaluation
AIMS Since 2008, KRAS mutation status in exon 2 has been used to predict response to anti-EGFR therapies. Recent evidence has demonstrated that NRAS status is also predictive of response. Several retrospective 'extended RAS' analyses have been performed on clinical trial material. Despite this, are we really moving towards such extended screening practice in reality? METHODS Data were analyse...
متن کاملA UK NEQAS ISH multicenter ring study using the Ventana HER2 dual-color ISH assay.
We performed a multicenter assessment of a new HER2 dual-color chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH) test and herein report on concordance of CISH data with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) data and intraobserver and interlaboratory scoring consistency. HER2 results were evaluated using duplicate cores from 30 breast cancers in 5 laboratories using the Ventana HER2 dual-color ISH as...
متن کاملAntibiotic use in the UK dairy sector
It is currently legal within the EU for dairy farmers to use antibiotics routinely for purely preventative purposes. The most common reason for antibiotic use in dairy farming is to control mastitis (inflammation of the mammary gland and udder tissue, usually due to bacterial infection). This often involves “blanket” use of antibiotics across all cows to prevent the occurrence of mastitis durin...
