Anatomic Pathology Selected Abstracts, 12/14

December 2014—Value of autopsies in the era of high-tech medicine: Although the autopsy is still the gold standard for quality assessment of clinical diagnoses, autopsy rates have declined to less than 10 percent. The authors conducted a study to investigate the value of autopsies in the era of high-tech medicine by determining the frequency of discrepancies between clinical and autopsy diagnoses. The authors classified all adult autopsy cases (n=460) performed at the Symbiant Pathology Expert Centre in Holland, in 2007 and from 2012 to 2013, as having major or minor discrepancy or total concordance.

Anatomic Pathology Selected Abstracts, 1/13

January 2013—Relationship between PAX2-null secretory cell outgrowths in the oviduct and pelvic serous cancer: With the exception of germ-line mutations in ovarian cancer susceptibility genes, genetic predictors for women destined for ovarian serous cancer cannot be identified in advance of malignancy. The authors recently showed that benign secretory cell outgrowths (SCOUTs) in the oviduct increase in frequency with concurrent serous cancer and typically lack PAX2 expression (PAX2-null).

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

January 2013—Chocolate consumption, cognitive function, and Nobel laureates: Dietary flavonoids are associated with health benefits, including improved cognitive function and reduced risks associated with aging, such as the risk of dementia. Flavonoids, or the subclass flavanols, are present in green tea, red wine, cocoa, and some fruits. Evidence has also shown that flavanols are linked to lower blood pressure due to vasodilation in the peripheral vasculature and brain.

Put It on the Board, 11/14

November 2014—Amid initial confusion over Ebola-related safety protocols for health professionals providing direct patient care, laboratory professionals report hearing a consistent message from the CDC on proper specimen handling. The pressing question for laboratories is how best to approach testing with potential Ebola patients given the dual imperatives of preventing exposure and offering faster diagnostic answers.

Molecular Pathology Selected Abstracts, 11/14

November 2014—Whole exome sequencing of Merkel cell carcinoma demonstrates conserved retinoblastoma pathway dysregulation: Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare aggressive neuroendocrine malignancy of the skin that is associated with infection by Merkel cell polyomavirus. Viral integration into the human genome and subsequent expression of the large T antigen is thought to cause cell cycle dysregulation via binding and inactivation of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein and is a key step in the development of Merkel cell carcinoma.

November 2014—Software expands on ‘what you see is what you get’; ONC unveils tool for sharing health information with patients; Portal gives patients direct access to lab test results; Xifin partners with SyTrue; GenoSpace awarded grant for developing biorepositories; NovoPath interfaces to Athenahealth EHR

Anatomic Pathology Selected Abstracts, 11/14

November 2014—Final trial report of sentinel-node biopsy versus nodal observation in melanoma: Sentinel-node biopsy, a minimally invasive procedure for regional melanoma staging, was evaluated in a phase three trial. The authors evaluated outcomes in 2,001 patients with primary cutaneous melanomas who were randomly assigned to undergo wide excision and nodal observation, with lymphadenectomy for nodal relapse (observational group), or wide excision and sentinel-node biopsy, with immediate lymphadenectomy for nodal metastases detected on biopsy (biopsy group).

Clinical pathology selected abstracts

November 2014—Combination of blood tests for fibrosis and cirrhosis to assess liver prognosis in CHC: Newer therapies for chronic hepatitis C are promising due to a high rate of sustained viral response and few side effects. Although these therapies are not yet readily available, investigators are considering the best way to evaluate and monitor response.

From the President’s Desk: How we tell our story, 11/14

November 2014—We do what we do because we know it’s important, we find it engaging, and we like to keep things interesting. We are committed to our work and precise by nature. So we spend hours with one patient’s specimens. We build systems-based safety nets to protect quality. We investigate, verify, document. We juggle a bit of everything and work with everyone. No wonder no one knows what we do.

Q & A column, 11/14

November 2014—When performing a platelet count from a blood sample collected in a sodium citrate tube, the result is multiplied by 1.1 to correct for the volumetric difference in anticoagulant compared to EDTA. Which other CBC parameters, if any, should be similarly corrected?
