2013 Issues

Anatomic Pathology Selected Abstracts, 10/13

October 2013—Acellular mucin in rectal cancer patients showing pathologic complete response to preoperative chemoradiotherapy; Association between p16 expression and human papillomavirus in urinary bladder squamous cell carcinoma; Immunohistochemical signature comprising PTEN, MYC, and Ki-67 and disease progression in prostate cancer; Preoperative BRAF(V600E) mutation screening: likelihood of altering initial surgery for indeterminate thyroid nodules; Claudin expression in high-grade invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast; Interobserver agreement in assessing lung cancer: H&E diagnostic reproducibility for non-small cell lung carcinoma

Molecular testing platforms a land of plenty

October 2013—If you’ve ever seen what happens when someone accidentally puts regular liquid soap in a dishwasher, you’ll have a good mental image of just how vigorously the automated molecular testing market is bubbling over with new assays. HCV genotyping, rifampin resistance, group A Streptococcus—vendors are pouring these and many other tests into a market that, by all accounts, is more than eager for them.

Letters, 10/13

October 2013—A CAP-accredited, multi-department laboratory, with 25 well-trained employees. A full-time staff of four American Board of Pathology-certified pathologists, including one with cytopathology boards. A rigorous quality assurance program involving clinicians and pathologists. An integrated electronic medical record system. Constant communication between administrative, technical, and clinical staff.

An uneasy dance with POC glucose in the ICU

October 2013—Too much of a good thing can be wonderful,” Mae West famously said. And some feel our culture of excess reflects that value. Perhaps as a reaction there has been a surge of interest recently in the embrace of “enough” as a worthwhile goal. But when it comes to precise measurement of glucose values in the intensive care unit, the often-warring needs for speed and accuracy make the issue a critical matter of patient care. For point-of-care glucose testing in the ICU, how much precision is “enough”?

Q & A, 9/13

September 2013—Our clinicians are asking about testing for IgG4-related disease. What role does IgG4 immunohistochemical staining play? IgG4-related disease is a recently recognized fibroinflammatory condition that may affect a wide variety of organ systems, producing mass lesions and generally responding to immunosuppressive therapy. The pancreas, salivary/lacrimal glands, and kidney are frequently affected, but almost any tissue may be involved, including aorta, pleura, retroperitoneum, and lymph nodes.

Newsbytes, 9/13

September 2013—Lab test data in the EMR: why what you see may not be reality: Blind faith is seldom the solution. And it’s definitely not the answer when it comes to accepting the capabilities of your hospital’s electronic medical record system.

Anatomic Pathology Selected Abstracts, 9/13

September 2013—Quantification of the Ki67 proliferative index in neuroendocrine tumors of the gastroenteropancreatic system; Clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical study of intrapulmonary SFTs; Papillary mucinous metaplasia of the endometrium as a precursor of endometrial mucinous adenocarcinoma; Expression of miRNAs and PTEN in endometrial specimens; Molecular investigation of lymph nodes in colon cancer patients using OSNA; Thymidylate synthase expression and molecular alterations in adenosquamous carcinoma of the lung; Microdensitometry of osteopontin as a prognostic biomarker in colorectal carcinoma tissue microarrays; Evaluation of pathological and molecular features in clinically aggressive dermatofibromas; Interobserver agreement in the reporting of colorectal polyp pathology by bowel cancer screening pathologists

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

September 2013—Routine coagulation testing for patients presenting to the ED with chest pain; Prospective comparison of curbside versus formal consultations; Primary prevention of cardiovascular disease with a Mediterranean diet; Quick study: a case of Gamma heavy chain disease

Cancelled lab tests—study analyzes why

September 2013—A handful, a fraction of a percent, a tiny portion. In most institutions, that’s about how many tests are cancelled after they’ve been ordered and a specimen has been sent to the laboratory. But even that small number can have significant quality implications. The authors of the Q-Probes study, ”Reasons for Test Cancellation,” looked at more than a million specimen accessions at several dozen institutions, to get a fix on why tests are being cancelled and to gain insight into how laboratories can bring that number down. As the study makes clear, there is definitely room for improvement.

Poor testing, dosing dog fetomaternal bleeds

September 2013—If Mark Brecher, MD, were compiling a greatest hits list of medical successes of the 20th century, there’s one advance he’d be sure to include: the introduction of Rh immune globulin in the late 1960s to prevent the Rh sensitization of Rh-negative mothers who deliver an Rh-positive baby.
