Previous experiments in the field of stress and memory have suggested a facilitative effect of stress hormones on the consolidation of information but an impairing effect on the retrieval of information. In the article "Stress Facilitates Consolidation of Verbal Memory for a Film but Does Not Affect Retrieval," V. E. Beckner, D. M. Tucker, Y. Delville, and D. C. Mohr (2006) report that exposure to an anticipatory psychological stress enhances consolidation, although it has no impact on the retrieval of previously learned information. This finding is discussed around the importance of the environmental context in which stress is applied and memory is measured. Here, the authors raise the possibility that the enhancing effects of stress on consolidation as reported by Beckner et al. may be explained by the fact that stress can act as a reactivation cue, leading to a 2nd round of consolidation, a process called reconsolidation.
Despite the numerous potential interferences that were discussed in this article, immunoassays, in general, are robust measurement systems. There is no practical way to identify specimens a priori that are likely to have immunoassay interference. Therefore, laboratories must rely on communication from clinicians to identify suspicious test values that may be caused by assay interference. After laboratories are alerted, multiple investigations can be undertaken. The common causes of immunoassay interferences (see Box I) are dependent on the analytic format. Competitive assays are most likely to have problems with cross-reactivity, whereas immunometric assays most often have problems with heterophile antibodies. The simple steps to test for dilutional linearity, spiked recovery, heterophile antibody blocking,and testing with alternate technology can help in the evaluations of cases that are suspected to have assay interference.
