Laboratory Medicine is the name of a medical specialty where specialists are involved in medical diagnosis using laboratory assays to characterize molecular and cellular parameters in blood, biological fluids and tissues;
In the intricate network of the human biliary system, the accurate diagnosis of bile duct strictures remains a formidable challenge for clinicians. These narrowings or blockages, connecting vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, and intestines, can herald either malignant or benign processes.
Labs Tests Online has launched a newly redesigned website.
Lab Tests Online helps patients and the public find trusted information about laboratory tests more easily and better understand what their results may mean. All content on the site is written, reviewed and updated by subject experts in laboratory medicine and is professionally peer reviewed.
The siteâs design, structure and user experience has been transformed introducing a cleaner layout, simplified navigation and improved accessibility.
The College was pleased to support the redevelopment of the site which was made possible through a partnership between the College, LabMed, the Institute of Biomedical Science. https://lnkd.in/etGUR66q
Thanks to The Guardian for covering our research and University of Sydney-backed social media campaign which aims to debunk misleading marketing of common, but typically unnecessary, medical tests being promoted to healthy people online.
We use full-body MRIs, the AMH and testosterone test as case studies to highlight this widespread issue and urge the public not to be conned by influencers with vested interests into taking a test you donât really need - to look for evidence, not influence.
While we fully acknowledge that the social media landscape is extremely complex, that trust needs to rebuilt in health systems, and a single campaign wonât be the solution; we still believe getting evidence-based health messages to consumers to try and counter some of the misleading information is important. And weâve had a lot of fun and learned a lot in the process.
Stayed tuned for more posts in the coming weeks, produced by the amazing USyd social media team Trish Tzannes Luke B. Winnie Liang!

Clinical labs are exploring new business opportunities as consumers take more control of their healthcare and bypass their doctors to initiate testing.
âPUBLIC HEALTH & ITS SUBTLE GROWTHâ đŻPublic health often advances quietly â not through headlines, but through small tools that change outcomes at scale. đA Multiplex is one of those tools: a rapid diagnostic test panel designed to screen for multiple infectious diseases in a single setting. âĄWhile simple in appearance, devices like this sit at the intersection of Epidemiology, Maternal health, and child survival. đ€From an epidemiological standpoint, integrated rapid testing panels are powerful because they support early detection, surveillance, and transmission interruption. đWhen multiple infections can be screened simultaneously, health systems gain faster situational awareness. đ§This is especially critical in low-resource or high-burden settings, where laboratory infrastructure may be limited but disease prevalence may be high. đIn maternal and child health, the stakes are even higher, as vertical transmission â from mother to child during pregnancy, delivery, or breastfeeding â remains a major driver of preventable illness and mortality worldwide. đ€ŒConditions such as blood-borne and sexually transmitted infections can: â Increase risk of miscarriage or stillbirth â Cause congenital infections and birth defects â Lead to preterm birth and low birth weight â Contribute to neonatal and infant mortality â Affect long-term child development outcomes đžEarly screening during antenatal care changes this trajectory. When infections are detected early, interventions can include: â Timely treatment for the mother â Preventive therapies during pregnancy â Safe delivery planning â Postnatal prophylaxis for newborns â Targeted breastfeeding guidance where applicable đČFrom a systems perspective, multi-disease rapid tests also support equity in care delivery. They reduce the number of clinic visits required, lower logistical barriers, and improve coverage in rural and underserved populations. This aligns directly with global goals to strengthen primary healthcare and achieve universal health coverage. đAggregated screening data informs: â Regional disease prevalence trends â Program effectiveness evaluation â Resource allocation decisions â Outbreak early-warning systems đ§âđ§Ultimately, maternal and child health outcomes are one of the clearest indicators of population health. âłïžAs public health professionals, clinicians, policymakers, and community leaders, our challenge is to ensure these tools are accessible, trusted, and integrated into routine care pathways. đBecause sometime, improving global health doesnât start with a breakthrough drug or a new hospital â it starts with making sure a mother has access to a simple test at the right moment. #PublicHealth #Epidemiology #MaternalHealth #ChildHealth #GlobalHealth #PreventiveCare #HealthEquity #PrimaryHealthcare #InfectiousDiseases #AntenatalCare
Une satisfaction đ€ pour le collectif CMSI France qui milite et oeuvre depuis plus de 5 ans sur ce sujet. L'attente fut longue mais çà valait le coup de se battre.
