About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Labcorp to Offer Risk-Scoring Test for People With Advanced Liver Fibrosis Due to NASH

By: via Business Wire

Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF™) Test Gauges Likelihood of Disease Progression; Expands Labcorp’s Testing Options for Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

For the millions of people in the United States living with an advanced form of chronic liver disease, simply understanding the potential for future complications could help stave off severe damage and even a transplant. Labcorp (NYSE: LH), a leading global life sciences company, is making this possible by offering the Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF™) test. Developed by Siemens Healthineers, the physician-ordered blood test helps assess the risk of disease progression in individuals—opening the door for improved outcomes. The test has been granted De Novo marketing authorization by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The ELF test provides a numeric score to people with advanced liver fibrosis caused by nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a type of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) often tied to obesity and diabetes. That score is combined with additional evaluations and test results to determine the likelihood of late-stage liver scarring and other serious conditions.

“Because NASH is typically addressed through lifestyle shifts such as weight loss and frequent exercise, knowing your risk of more severe damage can help you make the right changes at the right time,” said Dr. Marcia Eisenberg, chief scientific officer of Labcorp Diagnostics. “The ELF test gives doctors and patients important information that can factor into the assessment of treatment options. Adding it to Labcorp’s robust suite of NASH-focused tests furthers our commitment to fighting chronic liver disease and to our overarching goal to improve health and improve lives.”

NAFLD is the collective term for conditions involving excess fat accumulation in the liver not caused by alcohol use. These range from a condition called “fatty liver,” to the more serious condition known as NASH. Through liver cell injury and inflammation from fatty buildup, NASH-caused advanced fibrosis can increase liver-related morbidity and mortality if left unchecked.

There is currently no standard treatment for NASH beyond exercise and other lifestyle modifications. Oftentimes, people living with NASH don’t know it, as symptoms can be difficult to recognize. This creates a challenge for patients and providers, and it has led many health experts to refer to the disease as a silent epidemic. Recent estimates suggest approximately 20 million people in the U.S. have NASH. The prevalence of the disease is expected to increase in the next several years, resulting in a growing, unmet medical need.

Proper and widely available diagnostic and prognostic testing is required to identify NAFLD and NASH cases and high-risk patients, help slow disease progression and create a brighter future for those living with this potentially deadly condition. Labcorp has devoted significant resources to developing its strong NASH testing portfolio, which includes tests for assessing a patient’s liver status such as NASH FibroSure®, NASH FibroSure® Plus and NASHnext™.

Additionally, the company continues to harness its leading diagnostic and drug development capabilities to improve the public’s understanding of NASH, help advance new treatments and promote broad access to clinical trials.
