Welcome to the October issue of Pathway, a monthly magazine designed for anyone interested in their health and wellbeing and in the integral role that pathology plays in the diagnosis, treatment and management of diseases.
This month’s issue of Pathway looks at the following:

The recommendation from MSAC follows around 30 years of dedicated work in which testing for Tay-Sachs disease and similar conditions has been trialled and evaluated.
The exact mechanism for lupus is not known, however many scientists believe that it develops in response to a combination of factors both inside and outside the body.

Although improvements are yet to be demonstrated in a clinical setting, Dr Travis Brown is hopeful that the studies which prove the potential benefits of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) are not too far away.
With an eclectic professional, volunteering, and academic background, final year medical student, Harry Gaffney explains why he is so passionate about pathology.
