First, thanks to everyone for participating. We have over 3100 members from all over the globe which is quite astonishing for a list that started 20 years ago. Thanks also to everyone who sends out subscribing/unsubscribing instructions etc. and for Marvin Hanna for running the archive all these years. I never would have dreamed the list would still be running strong this long. It is best if you manage your own account on the membership list at the url below (sorry the url is so long now!).

If your email address differs from the one on the membership list, you will receive a non-member alert that your message won't be posted. Also, if you have graphics in your message such as a signature line with a logo, the server may reject a message you try to post to the list. Please send the message as plain text (without the footer etc) if you don't see your message come through the list. Finally, for those who don't like the many emails, Histonet has a digest version where all the messages are grouped into one message every day. It is a little confusing reading the messages as they are not grouped by topic but it really cuts done on the number of messages you get. If you want to switch to digest, go to the Histonet url above and modify your subscription. Also, you can hold mail while you are away, change your password etc at that url address. Always feel free to contact me if you have issues by email at histonet-owner at lists.utsouthwestern.edu Sometimes it takes a day or two for me to get back to you but I try my best.

I'm hoping to find some first hand experience to try to make my life easier. We recently acquired a Sakura film coverslipper and love it. We do a LOT of IHC staining that uses Ventana's (Roche) Ultramap Red Anti-Ms Alk Phos detection kit. Historically, we've hand-coverslipped all of these slides with a xylene-based mounting medium to avoid having the red leach out of the tissue over time. The slides I'm staining need to be of diagnostic quality for at least 3 years. Has anyone been using this detection system with a film coverslipper long enough to say that you've had or not had issues? Thank you for any feedback!

There are about 12 different fuses on the inside once you take it apart, you have to take all the screws out on the back and then life the whole top section off. There is one fuse for voltage regulation that went out on mine, I replaced that and it started working again. If you have a voltmeter you can check all the fuses, if there is no resistance then the fuse is bad. Goodluck!

So quite often we find one warming drawer or the other can be reset by powering the unit down for a couple of hours. It normally works fine after that...but not always. When powering down doesn't fix it we call biomed engineers to come with their volt meters and spare fuses to fix it. We have also had heating elements "die" and in that case the whole drawer must be replaced because the element is affixed to the bottom of the drawer.

Freezing biopsy tissue before fixation preserved the anatomy of this structure, demonstrating that it is part of the submucosa and a previously unappreciated fluid-filled interstitial space, draining to lymph nodes and supported by a complex network of thick collagen bundles. These bundles are intermittently lined on one side by fibroblast-like cells that stain with endothelial markers and vimentin, although there is a highly unusual and extensive unlined interface between the matrix proteins of the bundles and the surrounding fluid. We observed similar structures in numerous tissues that are subject to intermittent or rhythmic compression, including the submucosae of the entire gastrointestinal tract and urinary bladder, the dermis, the peri-bronchial and peri-arterial soft tissues, and fascia. These anatomic structures may be important in cancer metastasis, edema, fibrosis, and mechanical functioning of many or all tissues and organs. In sum, we describe the anatomy and histology of a previously unrecognized, though widespread, macroscopic, fluid-filled space within and between tissues, a novel expansion and specification of the concept of the human interstitium.

I have a small dermatopathology lab, which moved about a year ago to a location more prone to power outages. Last weekend the power was out for about 7 hours, which meant that the tissue was in 100% alcohol for about 5 hours, when it is programmed for 2, I believe. The tech who cut the tissue said it seemed a little dehydrated, but the slides looked fine. After that, I got a quote for an automatic backup generator for the building, but it came in at $20,000, which was much more than I was expecting and an expense I'd certainly like to avoid if possible. I spoke to the guy who maintains my equipment, who said our tissue processor (a Sakura E300) should not be harmed by a power outage and would pick up where it left off once the power returns. He also said that it can sense when the paraffin in the supply bins is melted and wouldn't try to use any wax that isn't. But still, a power outage could certainly mean that the tissue remains in a solution longer than programmed, as happened last weekend. My question is, how much of a risk does this pose? Could it damage the tissue so much as to make the ultimate sections uninterpretable? I should mention that I know when the power goes out, because the building has a fire alarm connected to a monitoring service that calls when the power goes out. So, as an alternative to spending $20K, I could get a manual generator and just go in and plug it in when the power goes out, or if it is out for more than an hour or two. Thanks in advance for your advice.

The consulting staff at IDX states with the Medicare reimbursement drops over the past couple years, that unless you run a high volume (>15-20/day) of H-PLYLORI IHC, it is not cost effective to do the Vantana or Dako IHC stains as the reagents are just so expensive and do not have a very long shelf life. We use a special "HP-Blue" stain from Anatech LTD out of Battle Creek, MI. The stain is cost effective as it can get pretty good results for the cost and we are able to put it on our automatic stainer and run a program just for HP Blue. We then make an addition charge for the special stain slide. If a diagnosis can not still be reached from the HP Blue special stain and an IHC is still required by the pathologist, we send it to IDX's Larger Lab where they can complete the IHC stain and they will charge the patient accordingly. StatLab has some hand staining IHC Kits and that is more cost effective while still achieving the same results as Vantana or Dako. We are just now looking into this option for cost effectiveness vs. results quality. Hope this helps and Good luck in your results. Brent Adams ?

It was highly adaptable and there was suitable integration of data between cytology and histology. I'll begin using Vantage in the coming weeks and could give you a better comparison. In general, the upfront work to customize AB&T has to be done otherwise you won't reap the benefits of the system.

If so, and you plan to keep it, AB&T is probably the best option. If you try to use a third-party system like Vantage or Cerebro with Copath, Cerner will require that you buy AB&T anyway as the middle-ware. Then you would need to support two separate systems. You also may not be able to have two-way communication, that is, writing back to the Cerner database from a third party application (for instance, cannot order blocks or stains in the third party system and have it be written to the Copath database. All blocks/stains must be entered on the Copath side and then they are picked up by the third party system). We have Copath Plus v14 and we have been using AB&T for 3+ years. It works very well, but took a lot of work to implement. We barcode from specimen receipt thru grossing, histology, IHC and Special Staining, to block and slide storage and tissue storage and disposal. Cytology as well. All seamlessly. We use the Copath 2D code to run our Leica and Ventana stainers without the need to program those stainers - stain orders are sent to the stainers from Copath and they "wait" for the 2D-coded slide to show up. We print cassettes at each gross station and slide labels (General Data StainerShield) at each microtome when the blocks are scanned. That has worked very well. AB&T has a "status monitor" that allows you to see how materials move thru the lab - for instance it shows how many blocks are in "grossed" status" or "cut" status at any given time. You can click on the number on the monitor to see exactly which cases are in that status. You can also track all materials of a case very easily with one report. We have pretty much eliminated paper from the lab with this system. The only downside I have seen is that Copath does not have a good statistics reporting tool. They only provide static reports, and "raw data" that must be exported to Excel to do any analysis. You can get third party reporting tools that tap into the Copath tables and build our your own live stats reports but they are pretty expensive. We have also used AB&T to make our own materials tracking system for our courier system, and chemical tracking in the gross room. It is very flexible in that way.

Due to the spicules and also biofilms and sand etc. the best results could be reached with resin embedding in technovit 7100 or better 9100 or 7200 with cutting grinding techniques. Sectioning of 9100 or 7100 is possible, but the spicules can cause damages in the sections, so best results can be reached with cutting grinding. There are several trichrome and PAS stainings which give nice results, but we have learned that individual testings have to be done, because the sponge tissues are very different in their preservation and stainings abilities. For fixation you should use formaline, but other fixative are also fine, depending on what you want to see. Ethanol does not give good results and picric acid might cause problems during polymerization. So I hope this helps you a little bit.

Some was isolated to our Anatomic Pathology system, and some of the downtime was organization wide. We are an independent laboratory system that operates with Cerner CoPath for Anatomic Pathology, MLab from McKesson for LIS and we then interface with Powerchart and EPIC at our hospitals. There is nothing like a little downtime to make you take another look at your processes. My questions: 1. What computer product are you currently using for Anatomic Pathology? 2. Are you satisfied? 3. Do you have your own IT group or is it maintained by outside resources? 4. Are you interfaced with hospital or other? 5. What critical functions do you provide during downtime? Are you giving verbal reports? Are you typing reports on a backup laptop? I appreciate any input you are willing to share and I am sure there will be others taking note of this valuable conversation!

I'm assuming that there is a monitor for humidity that can be placed in that room. Also, if it's out of range, does the monitor alert the staff? (We are a small lab and only work 1 shift here, so I would need for it to alert the other lab staff.) Thanks in advance!!

It did this last week when we went to use it and we had to reset the processor, losing all of our stored programs. Today even that isn't working. Any one else had this problem. No need to reply if you haven't experienced this with a Thermo STP120.

I hope that helps. Sincerely, Terri Terri L. Braud, HT(ASCP) Anatomic Pathology Supervisor Laboratory Holy Redeemer Hospital 1648 Huntingdon Pike Meadowbrook, PA 19046 ph: 215-938-3689 fax: 215-938-3874 Care, Comfort, and Heal Message: 1 Date: Sun, 29 Apr 2018 20:57:29 +0000 From: Nancy Schmitt Subject: [Histonet] Downtime Hello All- We recently experienced some downtime with our computer systems - more than the usual 1-2 hours for maintenance. Some was isolated to our Anatomic Pathology system, and some of the downtime was organization wide. We are an independent laboratory system that operates with Cerner CoPath for Anatomic Pathology, MLab from McKesson for LIS and we then interface with Powerchart and EPIC at our hospitals. There is nothing like a little downtime to make you take another look at your processes. My questions: 1. What computer product are you currently using for Anatomic Pathology? Answer: Sunquest CoPath Plus 2. Are you satisfied? Answer: Extremely 3. Do you have your own IT group or is it maintained by outside resources? Answer: There is an IT group for the hospital, but both myself and the office supervisor have full system manager access to CoPath as well as the servers. With little exception, all modifications or enhancements to CoPath are made by myself or the office supervisor. Occasionally, we need IT help when dealing with interfaces. 4. Are you interfaced with hospital or other? Answer: We are interfaced with Soarian Clinical and Mobile MD for reporting and Soarian Financial for billing. All of our patient data comes from Soarian Financial, through Sunquest Clinicals to CoPath. We also have a slide engraver interfaced. Cytology orders are entered through Soarian Clinical, but Surgical Orders are still submitted on a manual requisition. 5. What critical functions do you provide during downtime? Are you giving verbal reports? Are you typing reports on a backup laptop? I appreciate any input you are willing to share and I am sure there will be others taking note of this valuable conversation! Answer: During a Soarian/Sunquest/CoPath downtime, we immediately switch to a manual log for specimens, and a WORD format for our reports. Our personal PCs almost never go down together so we type on them in WORD. Reports are manually signed by the pathologist and faxed by the office staff. Stat procedures such as FNAs and Frozens and all report notifications are called into the physicians and documented and signed. All of this is entered into the down system once it returns to normal.
