NeoGenomics also announced that Dr. Frank Yang, M.D., Ph.D, FCAP, has joined the company as its chief hematopathologist. Before joining NeoGenomics, Dr. Yang worked with Dr. Raul Braylan, a legendary ...authority in flow cytometric analysis of lymphoma and leukemia at the University of Florida. Yang's work experience includes hematopathologist and clinical assistant professor at the University of Florida, chief hematopathologist at the Milwaukee VA Medical Center and laboratory director of the Tomah VA Medical Center in Wisconsin, and numerous other notable assignments. Dr. Yang is also a former research scientist in the field of molecular biology and medical genetics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and University of California at San Francisco. Based on this experience, Dr. Yang understands all aspects of modern hematopathology services. Acting Chief Financial Officer Steven Jones said, "The GPS product allows NeoGenomics to address a much larger segment of the oncology testing market, and we believe it will allow us to increase the average revenue per requisition for our oncology testing services. Indeed, in early trials of this new product offering with oncology practices, we have been able to increase the number of tests ordered per requisition by 25-50%, and our average revenue per requisition for these clients has increased by as much as 60%. As a result of our GPS product offering, we anticipate that our customer mix will continue to evolve. In particular, we have begun to attract additional higher-margin oncology practices, and we are seeing a decline in volume from some of our lower margin reference laboratory customers due to a perception that our new GPS product conflicts with some of their own services. This evolution of our customer mix has been expected and, given the level of interest in the GPS product to date, we expect that any lost revenues from reference lab customers will be more than offset by new higher margin oncology clients in fairly short order. Overall, we are excited about the impact that we believe the GPS product will have on our growth rate in FY 2007. As we announced with our Q2 06 earnings release we plan to issue revised upward guidance for FY 2007 with our Q3 06 earnings release."

According to recent research from the United States, "Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) and adenocarcinomas with BAC features seem to be increasing in incidence, particularly in younger, ...never-smoking women. EGFR inhibitors demonstrated response rates of 20% to 30% in patients with advanced BAC subtypes, but selection methods for patient therapy are not established.
"Two hundred and eleven consecutive patients (mean age: 65 years, mean NYHA class 3.0, mean EF: 29.3%) underwent CRT-D implantation from October 1999 to December 2004," the scientists said. "In the ...first 17 patients, DT was performed at the end of CRT-D implantation," while "in the other 194 consecutive patients, DT was performed at 2 months after CRT-D implantation."
"Two boys, aged 3 and 6 years, were implanted with ICD for a history of syncope and documented ventricular tachycardia (VT)," the investigators said. "A complete endovascular/endocardial approach was ...adopted consisting of positioning a bipolar pacing and sensing lead in the right ventricular (RV) apex with intravascular redundancy forming a loop in the inferior vena cava (IVC), and a caval coil placed in the IVC."
"A dose-finding study was performed to evaluate the combination of gefitinib with weekly epirubicin in patients with pretreated metastatic breast cancer. Fifteen patients were enrolled at four ...sequential dose levels. Gefitinib was administered orally, at the fixed daily dose of 250 mg. The starting dose of epirubicin was 20 mg/msup2," said G. Gasparini and colleagues, San Filippo Neri Hospital.
Significant accomplishments during the quarter included the following: 184% increase in Q2 FY 2005 revenues vs. Q2 FY2004; 50% sequential increase in Q2 FY 2005 revenues vs. Q1 FY2005; gross profit ...increased 183% from Q1 FY2005, resulting in a near doubling of gross profit margins to 43.8%; and 65% increase in testing volume in Q2 FY 2005 vs. Q1 FY 2005; 30% of cases ordered more than one test per case vs. 24% of cases in Q1 FY2005.
Since the 1970s continuo performance of secco recitative has been intensively discussed in the historically oriented field of performance practice. The trigger was the idea, probably stemming from ...Winton Dean, of having cadences played exactly as notated. In the Alten Handel Ausgabe, Friedrich Chrysander had notated the dominant-tonic conclusion in the recitatives as, in principle, after the beat, that is, after the singer's last note. In practice, however, performance with the singer creates the problem that in almost all endings executed with an appoggiatura a dissonance of a semitone arises. This article examines original notation in score as well as contemporary theoretical commentaries in order to determine how this might be avoided and how a more flexible continuo arrangement might be achieved.
