2013 Issues

Standard of care hits close to home

May 2013—Town versus gown: It’s a long-standing source of tension in medicine. In November 1963, JAMA published a piece on the pathology of this so-called syndrome. The disease was characterized as both chronic and acute, with the author blaming social forces, the structure of medical practice, philosophical differences in medical education, and the rise of specialization, as well as a host of secondary etiologic factors. After much hand wringing, the author called for a renewal of spirit to end this classic divide.

It’s here: whole slide imaging validation

May 2013—For the past four years, a group of pathologists has been diligently considering one question—Exactly how should whole slide imaging be validated?—all the while knowing that some laboratories consider WSI validation an unnecessary undertaking.

Molecular clonality testing for lymphoma

May 2013—Most jobs in the kitchen or the home workshop can be done with a basic set of tools. But every once in a while you need something special—a zester, say, or a dremel—and in those situations it’s nice to have that special tool on hand. Even more important, it’s nice to know how to use it.

Sizing up ‘mega’ multiplex panels for respiratory viruses

May 2013—During the flu season of 2012, patients crowded the emergency room at the University of North Carolina (UNC) Health Care’s Memorial Hospital. They presented with a cough. Congestion. Low-grade fever. In some cases, a sneeze. But in a matter of hours, their clinical pictures diverged: Some patients deteriorated, requiring hospitalization; others remained congested but stable.

Put it On the Board, 5/13

May 2013—Omnyx digital pathology OK’d for routine use in Canada, Europe; PCR platform, kit cleared for H7N9; CollabRx forms Pan Cancer molecular oncology editorial board; ‘Time for omic ancillary systems’; Thermo Fisher to acquire Life Tech; First next-generation sequencing assay for GE Healthcare; FDA clears BD Diagnostics’ C. diff assay; Foundation Medicine, Sloan-Kettering to co-develop test for hematologic cancers

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

May 2013—Although allogeneic bone marrow transplantation can cure sickle cell disease, human leukocyte antigen-matched donors are difficult to find, and the toxicities of myeloablative conditioning prior to transplants are a major risk factor for morbidity and mortality in most adults. The authors developed for patients with sickle cell disease newer bone marrow transplant regimens using nonmyeloablative conditioning regimens and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-haploidentical donors.

Anatomic Pathology Selected Abstracts, 5/13

May 2013—Pseudomyxoma peritonei originating from an appendiceal mucinous neoplasm remains a biologically heterogeneous disease. The authors conducted a study to evaluate outcome and long-term survival after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) consolidated through an international registry study. A retrospective multi-institutional registry was established through the collaborative efforts of units affiliated with the Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International.

Q & A, 5/13

May 2013—We are relocating to a new laboratory on a different floor in our hospital. There is little guidance from regulatory agencies on revalidating analyzers after the move. Decisions are left to the discretion of our pathologist. What kind of precision/accuracy/ normal range/patient sample/control testing do you recommend?
