Laboratory Diagnosis of Celiac Disease and Gluten-

Related Disorders Course # 612-141-14 / 1.0 credit hours

Daniela Cihakova, MD, PhD, D(ABMLI)

Assistant Professor of Pathology Director, Immune Disorders Laboratory, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

Level of Instruction: Basic Category: Immunology Target Audience: All are welcome Description: Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune-mediated inflammation of the small intestine, strongly dependent on HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 haplotypes characterized by intolerance of dietary gluten present in wheat, rye, and barley. The diagnostic criteria for celiac disease (CD) have remained unchanged for more than 20 years. However, in 2013 the American College of Gastroenterology and independently the European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) both published new guidelines for the diagnosis of CD. We will summarize the main changes with the emphasis on laboratory testing in diagnosis of CD. Besides CD, there are other gluten-related disorders, wheat allergy and gluten sensitivity. There is a great interest in gluten sensitivity and its relation to other disorders and overall health. We will discuss which laboratory methods are currently used for diagnosis of gluten sensitivity. Objectives: At the completion of the presentation, the audience will be able to:

Describe new evidence-based guidance for diagnosis of celiac disease

Explain the use of different laboratory tests in diagnosis of celiac disease

Describe the clinical presentation and laboratory findings of other gluten-related disorders

Contributions of the Laboratory to the Diagnosis of

Human Allergic Disease

Course # 612-120-14 / 1.0 credit hours

Robert G. Hamilton, Ph.D., D.ABMLI Professor of Medicine and Pathology, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

Level of Instruction: Intermediate Category: Immunology Target Audience: All are welcome

Description: Diagnosis of human allergic disease begins with a careful clinical history. Once there is a suspicion of an allergic process, IgE antibody is detected to confirm sensitization and provide guidance on a management strategy. The clinical laboratory continues to play a vital role in facilitating the diagnosis of allergic disease through the quantification of allergen-specific IgE antibody in serum. This overview will discuss the pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of allergic reactions and discuss the serological assays used to quantify IgE antibody to approximately 200 allergen specificities. Component-resolved diagnosis and multiplex technology will be discussed. Objectives: At the completion of the presentation, the audience will be able to:

Identify the pathophysiology of the allergic reaction in humans

Discuss the laboratory methods used to assess a patient for allergic sensitization

Explain the importance of component-resolved diagnosis using individual native and recombinant allergens

Musculoskeletal donation is a win-win for so many. How can you help? This presentation will discuss the referral/recovery process and bone utilization at Johns Hopkins Medicine. Critical to the process is communication to the Living Legacy Foundation of the potential donor and the hospital course. On the recipient side, the knowledge of the utilization of bone in a variety of forms and procedures and the communication to the allograft recipient of the MTF Linking Lives program is key.

Objectives: At the completion of the presentation, the audience will be able to:

Describe the Living Legacy Foundation’s (LLF) tissue donation process, from referral to recovery

Describe LLF’s primary and secondary screening process of potential donors and the impact on Johns Hopkins Medicine

Therapeutic Plasma Exchange in Kidney Transplant

Recipients at The Johns Hopkins Hospital Course # 612-121-14 / 1.0 credit hours

Andrea McGonigle, MD Transfusion Medicine Fellow, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

Level of Instruction: Intermediate Category: Immunohematology/Blood Bank Target Audience: Technologists, leads, supervisors, managers, educators, nurses, physicians, physician assistants, transfusionists

Description: Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) can reduce high-titer antibodies which are responsible for humoral rejection in kidney and other solid organ transplants. This technique is particularly useful in ABO-mismatched transplantation, where it can be used to lower the peritransplant antibody titer to prevent hyperacute rejection and improve graft survival. TPE also plays a similar role in reducing HLA antibodies prior to and following kidney transplantation. Following transplantation, if antibody titers increase or clinical and histologic signs of humoral rejection arise, TPE can then be used as an effective adjunct therapy. Objectives: At the completion of the presentation, the audience will be able to:

Describe the therapeutic plasma exchange program for ABO-mismatched kidney transplant recipients at JHH

Describe the role of therapeutic plasma exchange in reducing HLA antibodies in kidney transplant recipients at JHH

Describe the use of therapeutic plasma exchange as an adjunct therapy for humoral rejection in kidney transplant

Combatting Negativity in the Workplace Course # 612-134-14 / 1.0 credit hours

Alissa Putman, PhD Director, FASAP, The Johns Hopkins University

Level of Instruction: Basic Category: General Target Audience: All are welcome Description: “Negative attitudes spread to the point where they eventually affect performance and decision-making. That's the bad news. The good news is that enthusiasm and positive attitudes spread just as quickly and affect performance just as much -- in the right direction.” (Dale Carnegie). There are several factors which contribute to negativity, including maladaptive thoughts, increased stress, increased conflict and decreased support. The presence of negativity in the workplace is on the rise and adversely affects work performance, relationships, and ultimately patient care. This workshop will detail factors that contribute to negativity in the workplace, as well as ways to combat them to ensure a more positive work environment. Topics covered will include: identifying and stopping maladaptive thoughts, learning stress management and conflict management techniques, preventing burnout and compassion fatigue, and building resiliency. Objectives: At the completion of the presentation, the audience will be able to:

Identify six factors that contribute to negativity in the workplace

Identify positive actions that can be taken to combat negativity and to help with being more productive at work

Identify and stop maladaptive thought patterns that cause negativity in the workplace

Identify the meaning of stress, burnout and compassion fatigue and learn ways to reduce each

State 10 ways to build resilience

Pathology and the Choosing Wisely® Campaign:

Claiming our Role in Guiding Safer and More Cost-

Effective Test Utilization

Course # 612-111-14 / 1.0 credit hours

Genevieve M. Crane, MD, PhD Resident Physician, PGY2, Department of Pathology, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

Level of Instruction: Basic Category: Phlebotomy/Safety Target Audience: All are welcome

Description: The Choosing Wisely® campaign is a nationally-led campaign

initiated by the American Board of Internal Medicine with the goal of promoting conversations between physicians and patients to better utilize limited resources for health care. Over 40 national medical organizations, including the ASCP, have released lists of five things that should be questioned and may be overused or inappropriately used. At Johns Hopkins Medicine, the resident-led House Staff Patient Quality Council is spearheading an initiative based on this campaign to streamline test utilization to improve both quality and effectiveness of patient care while reducing costs within the system. Pathology should play a key role both in the optimization of tests and in the education of both physicians and patients on when tests are best indicated. Objectives: At the completion of the presentation, the audience will be able to:

List the goals of the nationwide Choosing Wisely® Campaign

Explain the importance of improving physician and patient understanding of medical tests and their efficacy

Identify areas of test overuse that may benefit from closer analysis of potential benefit in specific clinical contexts

Evaluate the evidence demonstrating clinical utility, safety and cost- effectiveness of tests to order them more wisely

Advise patients who may want (or not want) a test based on expectations outside of evidence-based criteria
