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.

GeneType Predicting Risk of Pancreatic Cancer: Major Breakthrough in Early Detection and Treatment

MELBOURNE, Australia, Oct. 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Genetic Technologies Limited (ASX: GTG; NASDAQ: GENE, “Company”, “GTG”), a global leader in genomics-based tests in health, wellness and serious disease, is pleased to announce the publication of a peer-reviewed research paper validating geneType’s Pancreatic Cancer risk assessment test.

Highlights:

  • Pancreatic cancer has a very high mortality rate, approximately 76%1 of those diagnosed will die within 1 year. The five-year survival rate is only 9%2.
  • GeneType’s Pancreatic Cancer risk assessment test showed a nearly 50% improvement to the traditional clinical risk score in identifying patients at a high risk of developing pancreatic cancer.
  • GeneType for Pancreatic Cancer will lead to a significant improvement to the number of pancreatic cancers being discovered earlier. When identified early, surgical intervention can save lives.
  • The study evaluated close to 380,000 adults aged 40 to 69 years from the UK Biobank, identifying 851 incident cases of pancreatic cancer, providing a very powerful validation of the geneType model.
  • Identifying those at-risk will enable doctors and their patients to increase surveillance and be proactive in their efforts to prevent the development of cancer.

The paper entitled “Predicting 10-year risk of pancreatic cancer using a combined genetic and clinical model” was published in the journal Gastro Hep Advances by GTG’s scientific team including Dr Erika Spaeth, Dr Gillian Dite and Dr Chi Kuen Wong along with co-authors Dr Richard Allman and Dr Nicholas Murphy.

Pancreatic cancer has the poorest 5-year survival rate of any major solid tumour, but when diagnosed at an early stage, survival rates improve. Population screening is impractical because pancreatic cancer is rare, with a lifetime risk of 1.7%. However, accurate risk stratification in the general population will enable healthcare providers to focus early detection strategies on high-risk individuals, potentially saving lives and improving health outcomes from this devastating disease.

GTG’s Chief Commercial Officer, Carl Stubbings said, “Around 65,000 people will be diagnosed with pancreatic in the U.S. this year and 50,000 people will die3. This devastating statistic is driven by late diagnosis of this cancer. Implementing geneType risk assessment test for pancreatic cancer will help doctors diagnose the disease earlier, intervene earlier and reduce this appalling mortality. This test really can make a difference in improving patient outcomes.”
GTG’s CEO, Simon Morriss added, “We are proud to be able to offer this doctor prescribed risk assessment test, as we believe it can lead to significant improvement to the survival rate of such a dreadful disease.”

Compared to a traditional clinical risk score, geneType for pancreatic cancer showed nearly a 50% improvement in identifying patients at a high risk of developing pancreatic cancer—these adults had 4-times the population risk.
