Reflex Test Guides Precise Care for Arsenic Exposure: Paul Jannetto, Ph.D.
Paul Jannetto, Ph.D., explains how Mayo Clinic Laboratories' SPAS test identifies the form of arsenic present in patients with arsenic exposure. That information is important for determining the potential level of harm and for removing the patient from the arsenic source to ease symptoms and prevent cancer risk.Speaker 3: (00:33) Do you mind telling us a little bit about yourself and your background? Speaker 3: (01:45)Could you please provide us with an overview of arsenic, how people get exposed, and the laboratory testing for arsenic and arsenic speciation? Speaker 3: (05:25)Which patients should have this testing, and when should it be performed? Speaker 3: (06:57)What alternative test options are available, and how does testing at Mayo Clinic compare? Speaker 3: (08:37)How are the results used in patient care?

Comprehensive Genetic Test Guides Prescribing of a Transplant Anti-Rejection Drug: Jessica Wright, Pharm.D., BCACP
Jessica Wright, Pharm.D., BCACP, explains how Mayo Clinic Laboratories' 3A5Q test helps determine initial tacrolimus doses for individuals after non-liver organ transplants. Optimal tacrolimus levels are one of the important factors in survival of the transplanted organ.Speaker 3: (00:32) Could you provide us a with little bit about your background and yourself? Speaker 3: (03:45) Will you please provide a brief overview of Mayo test 3A5Q? Speaker 3: (06:56) Which patients should have this testing, and when should it be performed? Speaker 3: (08:15) What alternative or complementary tests should be considered? Speaker 3: (09:25)How are the results used in patient care? Speaker 3: (10:38)Will you help the audience understand the significance of monitoring tacrolimus levels for transplant rejection? Speaker 3: (12:53)What alleles are included in this test?
