Climate change is rapidly altering the animal and plant species in the Southeast. Researchers are unsure what the long-term effects of these shifts are. Animals are experiencing shape-shifting across the Southeast due to increased temperatures caused by climate change. Growth in body mass and appendages is positively correlated to increases in temperature.

Data has emerged as the biggest asset and currency in an increasingly technocratic world, and with great power, comes great responsibility. Data associated with humans (i.e., Personal Information) is used extensively in advertising, public relations, Marketing, behavior modeling, and artificial intelligence. Social Media giants like Twitter, Snapchat and TikTok are Ad-revenue based owing to the data collected from their massive user base.

JMIR Medical Informatics, Cecchetti
et al. of the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine at Marshall University present their health informatics platform, the Appalachian Informatics Platform (AIP). Designed to support "research efforts by enabling curation and analysis of data using the different components," the platform is described in detail following the presentation of necessary background information on the unique informatics and healthcare challenges of the Appalachia region. After describing their methodology and results, the authors discuss the perceived utility of AIP and conclude that AIP is indeed useful in "enabling seamless and secure data access, model development through an analytics engine to explore novel and unexpected hypotheses, and simple yet effective communication of all findings via interactive visualization."

Separations, Hewavitharana
et al. examine a more simplified means of quantifying cannabinoids using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) with a low flow rate rather than a more expensive ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) system. After descrribing their materials and methods used, the authors discuss the optimization of their extraction method, as well as the optimization of chromatographic separation and mass spectrometry, and how the processes were validated. They conclude that "the main advantage of using this approach is that the method can be easily adapted to use with a simple HPLC-MS (single quadrupole) system," and that "the method is well suited for routine phytocannabinoid analysis across a range of applications in a variety of laboratory settings."

June 15, 2022 Laboratory Informatics Weekly Update Volume 20, Issue 24 In This Issue Featured Content 06/14/2022 - The Ideal LIMS for Clinical Diagnostics Finding and implementing the ideal LIMS is not as straight forward as other software purchases. It requires in-depth research, planning, communication and knowledge. Given how much information the lab has to arm itself with to make the best decision on the ideal LIMS, this process can leave many labs frustrated before even getting started. We want to help alleviate some of the frustration. The Ideal LIMS for Clinical Diagnostics: A Practical Buyer’s Guide eBook helps…

Information, Sachdeva and Bhalla of the National Institute of Technology Delhi examine electronic health records (EHRs) and their requirement for interoperability from a semantic and archetype point of view. After providing an overview of EHRs and their standards for semantic interoperability, the authors discuss how to better achieve more secure and more accurate data interoperability through the use of semantic-based archetypes. They then discuss knowledge representation and the five most common approaches to it, addressing specifically ADL, XML, OWL, and other formalisms. They then evaluated some of the best approaches and discussed their strengths and drawbacks. After brief discussion, the authors conclude that while semantic interoperability is essential to "evidence-based healthcare across heterogeneous EHR systems," areas of study are still lacking in regards to "direct support for mapping to formal ontologies." They suggest that ADL and OWL have their own strengths, compared to XML that has more weaknesses despite being a more global standard.

“Life finds a way.” Okay, maybe Ian Malcolm didn’t have algae in mind when he uttered those infamous words. But with harmful algal blooms increasing worldwide every year, the microscopic organisms are making as dramatic an impact as a tyrannosaurus rex (or indo-raptor, for that matter). Humans are directly in the crosshairs of these toxic blooms. And that means stepping up the game in your lab. If your water testing LIMS isn’t prepped for the coming onslaught, it might be time for an upgrade.
