    Abstract The cytological examination of cavity fluids has limited sensitivity in the diagnosis of malignancy. Aneuploidy, which is commonly observed in neoplastic cells, could potentially be used as an ancillary diagnostic tool. To evaluate the detection of aneuploid cells in cavitary effusion samples using the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assay UroVysion

    Abstract Background: In clinical practice, pleural and peritoneal effusions are usual diagnosis. We evaluated the performance of a hybrid panel of biomarkers in the diagnosis of the main diseases affecting pleura and/or peritoneum.
    Methods: Samples of pleural/ peritoneal fluid from 120 patients were evaluated for: CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen), VEGF-A (vascular endothelial growth factor A), PD-L1/B7-H1 (programmed death-ligand 1), NGAL (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin), TREM-1 (triggering receptor expressed in myeloid cells type-1) and IFNγ (gamma-interferon) by Luminex®; CALP (Calprotectin) by ELISA, and ADA (adenosine deaminase) by enzymatic deamination.
    Results: For malignant effusion (ME) diagnosis, CEA and NGAL presented superior performance than VEGF-A, PD-L1 and CALP. A CEA-NGAL association showed good sensitivity (86.6%) and accuracy (79.2%). For non-tuberculous infectious effusion (NTBIE), NGAL presented the best performance with sensitivity (75.0%), specificity (62.0%) and accuracy (65.0%) higher than TREM-1 and CALP; however, when associated, although with good sensitivity, there was important decrease in specificity. For tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE), IFNy-ADA presented excellent sensitivity (100%), specificity (87.6%), NPV (100%) and accuracies (~90%).
    Conclusions: CEA, NGAL, ADA and IFNy were useful in discriminating ME and TPE. However, for NTBIE diagnosis, the hybrid panel did not demonstrate advantages over the classic parameters.

    Abstract Aim: To detect differences in the pattern of serum calcium tests ordering before and after the implementation of a decision algorithm.
    Methods: We studied patients admitted to an internal medicine ward of a university hospital on April 2013 and April 2016. Patients were classified as critical or non-critical on the day when each test was performed. Adequacy of ordering was defined according to adherence to a decision algorithm implemented in 2014.
    Results: Total and ionised calcium tests per patient-day of hospitalisation significantly decreased after the algorithm implementation; and duplication of tests (total and ionised calcium measured in the same blood sample) was reduced by 49%. Overall adequacy of ionised calcium determinations increased by 23% (P=0.0001) due to the increase in the adequacy of ionised calcium ordering in non-critical conditions.
    Conclusions: A decision algorithm can be a useful educational tool to improve adequacy of the process of ordering serum calcium tests.
