1. Screeningnoun

   the process of examining or testing objects methodically to find those having desirable properties. See screen. In the pharmaceutical industry, pharmaceutical screening involves testing a large number of samples of substances to find those having desirable pharmacological activity; those samples which have the property sought are called active or positive in the screen. The substances tested may be pure compounds with known structure, mixtures of pure compounds, or complex mixtures obtained by extraction from living organisms. There are often additional sets of test performed on active samples, called counterscreening to eliminate those samples that may also possess undesirable properties. In the case of screening of mixtures from living organisms, a type of counterscreening called dereplication is usually performed, to determine if the active sample contains a known compound which has previously been studied.

1. Screening

   Screening, in medicine, is a strategy used in a population to identify an unrecognised disease in individuals without signs or symptoms. This can include individuals with pre-symptomatic or unrecognised symptomatic disease. As such, screening tests are somewhat unique in that they are performed on persons apparently in good health. Screening interventions are designed to identify disease in a community early, thus enabling earlier intervention and management in the hope to reduce mortality and suffering from a disease. Although screening may lead to an earlier diagnosis, not all screening tests have been shown to benefit the person being screened; overdiagnosis, misdiagnosis, and creating a false sense of security are some potential adverse effects of screening. For these reasons, a test used in a screening program, especially for a disease with low incidence, must have good sensitivity in addition to acceptable specificity. Several types of screening exist: universal screening involves screening of all individuals in a certain category. Case finding involves screening a smaller group of people based on the presence of risk factors. Screening interventions are not designed to be diagnostic.

Examples of Screening in a Sentence

1. Mark Esper:

   Is it sufficient [et cetera, et cetera]and it may not be -- it may be the vetting -- are we also screening persons coming to make sure that they have, you know, their life in order, you know, their mental health is adequate, so we need to look at all that.

2. Alex Francoeur:

   Cervical cancer is incredibly preventable with proper screening as well as access to vaccinations for the HPV virus, and so, to me, these findings were very surprising because I would have expected with the expansion of the Affordable Care Act and more and more women getting health insurance to see kind of the opposite findings of more people being able to get screened.

3. Robert Smith:

   New data also show very clearly that a substantial fraction of adults are not willing to undergo colonoscopy and thus recommendations to get a colonoscopy in this group will go unheeded, the data also show that many of these adults will accept stool testing, and thus achieving high rates of colorectal cancer screening in the practice setting requires providing at least the option for colonoscopy or, ideally, a high sensitivity FIT.

4. Jessica Sinclair:

   We started to notice that she was having issues reaching her milestone of crawling, so at her regular pediatric check they did an eye screening and saw that she might have had a slight astigmatism.

5. Mark Krikorian:

   It’s a complement to the other kinds of screening, but it can’t be a substitute, you can’t rely on it. There are limitations to interviewing as a means of smoking out bad guys.
