The document discusses non-technical skills that are important for anesthesiologists, including situation awareness, decision making, teamwork, and stress management. It describes how the Anesthetists' Non-Technical Skills (ANTS) system was developed to identify and rate non-technical skills in four categories (task management, team working, situation awareness, and decision making) based on observational studies. The ANTS system provides a standardized way to assess and provide feedback on anesthesiologists' non-technical performance.
Next generation sequencing (NGS) has various applications in cancer treatment and research. It can be used to identify novel cancer mutations, detect hereditary cancer syndromes, enable personalized cancer treatment based on a patient's genetic profile, and detect circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). NGS allows comprehensive analysis of cancer genomes and biomarkers for molecular diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring treatment response. Challenges include analyzing large amounts of NGS data and accurately interpreting genetic variations, but its clinical utility continues to advance personalized cancer care.

NGS for Infectious Disease Diagnostics: An Opportunity for Growth Alira Health
Infectious diseases are a major public health concern causing over 3.5 million deaths worldwide. Diagnosing patients as quickly and effectively as possible is crucial for managing disease outbreaks. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) provides unique capabilities to understand the genetic profile of infectious disease patients that no other technology can match.
Whole-genome metagenomics allows clinicians to take a deeper dive into pathogens by generating big-data about their characteristics. This data can be rapidly analyzed using complex bioinformatics software algorithms to achieve clinical-grade diagnostic accuracy. In a healthcare system shifting towards personalized medicine, NGS can provide clinicians the tools that they need to prescribe individualized treatments to save patients who were previously untreatable. The result is improved quality of care, better treatment regimes, and cost-saving healthcare.

Step by Step, from Liquid Biopsy to a Genomic Biomarker: Liquid Biopsy Series...QIAGEN
Liquid biopsies enable us to monitor the evolution of genetic aberrations in primary tumors as they shed the tumor cells into the circulation. The limitation is the ability to detect these low frequency genetic aberrations in a consistent manner to understand short- and long-term implications and how this information will be used in the clinic. This slidedeck will cover the challenges and solutions associated with multiple steps as one starts with liquid biopsy and move towards finding a new biomarker.

Identification of antibiotic resistance genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolat...QIAGEN
This document describes a study that developed and validated a real-time PCR array to identify 87 antibiotic resistance genes from bacterial isolates and metagenomic samples. The array was used to profile resistance genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates and human stool samples. A variety of resistance genes were detected, including SHV, KPC, ermB, mefA and tetA. The PCR array results were confirmed using pyrosequencing and shown to be effective for monitoring the spread of antibiotic resistance.
Molecular QC: Using Reference Standards in NGS PipelinesCandy Smellie
Since its inception, next-generation sequencing has found utility in a diverse set of industries, from biomarker discovery in pharma to ancestral identification in archeology. Across the board, NGS has the advantage of allowing us to answer questions that require a lot of data. Next-generation sequencing provides orders of magnitude more data than traditional Sanger sequencing as hundreds of “lanes” analyzed in parallel vs. hundreds of millions of “clusters” which allows for many samples to be multiplexed on a single-run.
By starting with different genetic material and following specific experimental workflows, NGS can be applied to many applications.
Here we focus on DNA resequencing applications, which implies the data generated will be compared to an existing reference sequence (such as the human genome). Specifically, we’ll focus on how we can analyze patient-derived material to identify onco-relevant mutations including single-nucleotide variants, insertions-deletions, copy number variants and translocations. We’ll also focus on how known reference standards have been shown to be vital in ensuring data generated from NGS assays is accurate and reproducible.
Metagenomics is the study of genetic material recovered directly from environmental samples. It provides a new approach to studying microbes that are not easily cultured in a laboratory and enables investigation of microbial communities in their natural habitats. Metagenomics involves directly extracting DNA from samples, sequencing it, and analyzing the genetic information obtained from entire communities of organisms simultaneously. This provides insights into uncultured microbes and their roles in various environments.
