    An Interview With Dr. Joe Wiencek: Reducing Waste in Clinical Laboratory Testing

    Clinical laboratories play a critical role in patient care while also generating substantial waste, including single‑use plastics, paper, and e-waste. In this special Lab Week episode of LabMind, we sit down with Dr. Joseph Wiencek, associate professor of Pathology, Microbiology, and Immunology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, to explore practical and attainable ways laboratories can reduce their environmental footprint. Dr. Wiencek shares actionable strategies for improving sustainability through laboratory stewardship, recycling initiatives, and effective advocacy without compromising quality or safety. Whether you’re a laboratorian, administrator, or trainee, this conversation offers ideas you can implement immediately. Listen in as we rethink waste in the clinical laboratory and consider how you can contribute to a more sustainable future in laboratory medicine.   Related Information: Estimated Waste Generation From 1 Million Basic Metabolic Panels: A Multisite U.S. Study [hyperlinked to: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41048040/]Potential Savings of Two Practical Interventions on Vitamin D Ordering Practices at a Large Academic Medical Center [hyperlinked to: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41140116/]

    An Interview With Dr. Kelly Doyle: Detecting G6PD Deficiency in Children

    Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is a genetic condition that can lead to life-threatening hemolysis in both children and adults. Early and accurate diagnosis is critical, but identifying G6PD deficiency in newborns and young children isn’t always straightforward—most reference intervals are based on adult values, which don’t necessarily apply to pediatric patients. In this interview, Dr. Kelly Doyle, an ARUP medical director of Special Chemistry, Endocrinology, and Mass Spectrometry, shares insights from novel methods to establish pediatric-specific reference intervals. Using an innovative indirect approach and a large dataset of patient results, Dr. Doyle explains how these new standards can improve diagnosis and care for children worldwide.  Related Information: Webinar: Development of Pediatric G6PD Reference Intervals Through Integration of Indirect Methods and Molecular Data https://arup.utah.edu/education/doyle-g6pd-2025.php
