| Y | Modeling exposures on wounds (organ donorsdonor organs etc) Nancy Follow up <ADD ANY INFO FROM EMAILS SHARED LAST WEEK!!!!>: Serum separator tube: Serum-separating tubes, also known as serum separator tubes or SSTs, are test tubes used in clinical chemistry tests requiring blood serum. SSTs are sometimes called "marble-top tubes", "tiger-tops", or "gold-topped tubes", referring to the stoppers which are either gold, red with a gold ring on top, or marbled red and grey. The stopper of SPS (sodium polyanethol sulfonate) tubes have a paler yellow colour, sometimes causing confusion; these are known as "yellow tops" not "gold". Trademarked versions of the SST include Covidien "Corvac" tubes. The tubes have micronized silica particles which help clot the blood before centrifugation, and a gel at the bottom which separates whole blood cells from serum.[1] Silica nanoparticles induce coagulation through contact activation of coagulation factor XII (Hageman factor).[2] The silica particles are desiccants, which adsorb and hold water vapor.[3] This is used in the tubes so the blood adheres to the surface of the tiny silica particles and begins to clot. After the blood sample is centrifuged, the clear serum should be removed for testing.[4][5] These tubes should be used with care when measuring drug or hormone levels because the drug or hormone may diffuse from the serum into the gel, causing a reduction in measured level. The gel in SST II tubes (which appears slightly less opaque) is supposed[weasel words] to have less effect on drug levels in serum.[citation needed]

USCDI v5 comments | Y | United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) Had call with Maria Michaels, Nancy and Manjula - working on better cooridnation coordination within CDC and with parnters partners - will set up recurring calls well prior to next comment period Nancy talked to leadership and we have experienced scientist available (understands lab workflows and what issues exist with LIS and EHR-s)- may pull her into the Data Standardization Lab subgroup; USCDI is one of the topics; currently working on minimum data set for surveillance Desiree is running this there is also the CSTE work: (https://cste.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/EQdpo_BqId1Ih6EE0C1vKYIB0tkA4elCABwDA8Rn47xluQ?rtime=QO7JLK7F20g ) this might re-org as part of the CDC re-organization - so might be a hiatus until all figured out
