June 2026

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

June 2026—Platelet transfusion in neonate and pediatric patients prevents or stops bleeding. Platelet donor characteristics, such as sex and age, and further processing and storage of platelet units may impact platelet increments, overall transfusion burden, and clinical outcomes in pediatric and neonate transfusion recipients. Platelet collection and processing steps vary across blood centers.

Anatomic pathology selected abstracts

June 2026—Atypical endometriosis is a potential precursor of endometriosis-associated ovarian carcinoma. Despite this, identification of atypical endometriosis (AE) lacks established clinical implications and is not routinely incorporated in histopathological examinations for endometriosis. The authors conducted a study to determine the interobserver variability in AE diagnosis and classify features that may contribute to consistent identification and diagnosis.

Molecular pathology selected abstracts

June 2026—Studies of genetic variants in autism spectrum disorders have identified copy-number variants and single-nucleotide variants in more than 100 autism spectrum disorder-associated genes. However, much of the genetic and neurobiological bases of such disorders are still unclear. Some of the yet unexplained genetic basis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may lie in variants that may be difficult to detect by short-read whole genome sequencing (SR-WGS), such as specific structural variants and tandem repeats.

Q&A column

June 2026
Q. When performing a manual platelet estimate from a sodium citrate tube because of EDTA-induced clumping, do you still multiply the result by 1.1, even if you are not using an analyzer to perform the estimate? Read answer.
Q. How is Helicobacter pylori 13C urea breath testing regulated in clinical laboratories? Read answer.

Newsbytes

June 2026—As the scope and scale of information technology available to the pathology laboratory balloons, so too do the number of proposals for lab IT projects, products, and partnerships. And those pitching such proposals can up their odds of success if they avoid using technical jargon, acronyms, and other IT speak when explaining such endeavors to an audience without expertise in those areas, says communications expert Terry Rubin.

Put It on the Board

June 2026—The blood bank community, state pathology societies, and the CAP and Association for the Advancement of Blood and Biotherapies are working to oppose state bills that mandate directed and autologous blood donations. Most such proposals have failed, but Idaho’s law was enacted on March 16. It will go into effect July 1.
