Abstracts

Anatomic Pathology Abstracts, 1/16

January 2016—Uterine leiomyosarcomas are rare malignant tumors with a poor prognosis, while leiomyomas are common benign tumors unrelated to their malignant counterparts. Diagnostic features commonly present in leiomyosarcoma include cytologic atypia, high mitotic index, and a sarcoma-specific geographic cell death designated as tumor cell necrosis (TCN).

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

January 2016—A logical delta check for identifying erroneous blood cell count results: Regulations require that hospitals have a quality management plan that benchmarks key indicators of quality performance. One such indicator is a delta check, which is a broad quality control for preanalytic and analytic errors that identifies significant variation in a patient’s present lab result when compared with the patient’s previous result for the same test.

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

December 2015—Optimizing transfusion ratios in massive transfusion protocols: The 1:1:1 ratio of packed red blood cells to plasma to platelet use for massive transfusion emerged out of data on mortality in military personnel wounded in combat. Many studies have investigated the optimal ratio for use in massive transfusion. The literature is controversial, and studies continue to support and refute the 1:1:1 ratio.

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

October 2015—Impact of a rapid respiratory panel test on patient outcomes: Studies have examined the impact of polymerase chain reaction tests on patient outcomes. Rapid detection in microbiology and virology allows more appropriate treatment sooner. This, in turn, can reduce hospital length of stay for patients with respiratory pathogens and may generate hospital savings.

Anatomic Pathology Abstracts, 10/15

October 2015—CD117 expression in phyllodes tumors: correlation with adverse pathologic parameters. CD117 (c-Kit) is a type III receptor tyrosine kinase encoded by the KIT gene. Deregulation of expression and mutations in the gene are implicated in various tumors. Reports of CD117 expression in phyllodes tumors have generated controversy.

Molecular Pathology Selected Abstracts, 10/15

October 2015—Mutation clearance after induction therapy in acute myeloid leukemia: After initial induction chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia, approximately 20 percent of patients fail to achieve complete remission, and approximately 50 percent experience relapse within one year. Therefore, it would be clinically useful to identify patients at higher risk of induction therapy failure or relapse.

Molecular Pathology Selected Abstracts, 9/15

September 2015—Molecular profile of diffuse lower-grade gliomas: Diffuse low- and intermediate-grade gliomas include World Health Organization grade II and III astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, and oligoastrocytomas. These lower-grade gliomas usually arise in the cerebral hemispheres of adults, and they are highly infiltrative and, therefore, cannot be completely resected.

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

September 2015—Costs and outcomes after cardiac surgery in patients refusing transfusion: Numerous randomized, controlled trials have shown no benefit of a liberal blood transfusion strategy compared with a more restrictive strategy in surgical patients. Furthermore, concerns exist regarding the association of transfusion with postoperative morbidity and mortality.

Anatomic Pathology Abstracts, 9/15

September 2015—Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in select breast cancers: Modulation of immunologic interactions in cancer tissue is a promising therapeutic strategy. To investigate the immunogenicity of HER2-positive and triple-negative breast cancers, the authors evaluated tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and immunologically relevant genes in the neoadjuvant GeparSixto trial.

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

August 2015—Characteristics and antibiotic use associated with short-term risk of C. difficile infection in hospital patients: Clostridium difficile infection is recognized as the leading cause of infectious nosocomial diarrhea. Since molecular testing has improved the sensitivity and specificity of C. difficile infection (CDI) diagnosis, most hospitals discourage repeating a negative test within seven days. However, there is a rare possibility that a patient may have repeat CDI testing that is positive within 14 days after an initial negative finding.
