Screening Programs

Screening programs are organized clinical processes that identify disease or elevated health risk in people who may not yet have symptoms, enabling earlier intervention and improved population health. They define an eligible population, apply validated tests or assessments, and direct individuals with abnormal results to diagnostic evaluation and follow-up care, while monitoring benefits, harms, and participation. Examples include screening for cancers, infectious diseases, and inherited conditions. Effective programs depend on evidence-based eligibility criteria, accurate testing, clear communication, and reliable referral pathways. By detecting conditions at earlier, more treatable stages, screening programs support prevention, reduce complications, and inform public health planning.

Programmed electrical stimulation provides the ability to determine conduction properties of the heart, and the possibility to induce and terminate cardiac arrhythmias using various pacing protocols. Using a transvenous catheter, intracardiac electrogram recordings can be obtained in mice following programmed electrical stimulation protocols to identify arrhythmogenic substrates.

2016

This work presents a method of high-throughput screening using a universal genetic enzyme screening system that can be theoretically applied to over 200 enzymes. Here, the single screening system identifies three different enzymes (lipase, cellulase, and alkaline phosphatase) by simply changing the substrate used (p-nitrophenyl acetate, p-nitrophenyl-β-D-cellobioside, and phenyl phosphate).
