>NEVADA SOCIETY OF HISTOTECHNOLOGY
>MARCH 31, 2007
>SUNRISE HOSPITAL SKY ROOM AND RENDEZVOUS ROOM
>
>START AT 9:00 AM
>
>MICROWAVE TISSUE PROCESSING IS HERE TO STAY
>
>PRESENTED BY  DENISE GERARD HT/HTL(ASCP)
>
>LEARNING OBJECTIVES
>At the end of this workshop, the participant should be able to do the
>following:
>
>1.	Understand what a microwave is and how they are produced.
>2.	Describe how heat is generated by microwaves.
>3.	 Compare microwave heating versus conventional heating to
>accelerate tissue processing.
>4.	Have complete knowledge of the importance of selecting
>"laboratory grade" microwave ovens for histology use.
>5.	List the primary steps for microwave tissue processing.
>6.	Understand the relationship of solution volume and specimen size
>for adequate microwave tissue processing.
>7.	Know the inert substances such as paraffin was will not absorb
>microwaves and rely on other substances to retain" heat for them.
>8.	Select appropriate reagents and specimen containers for
>microwave tissue processing.
>9.	Keep laboratory safety at the forefront by discussing
>ventilation requirements for laboratory microwave ovens.
>10.	Formulate a test plan to verify microwave protocols for your
>histology laboratory.
>11.	Develop a quality control program for daily maintenance and
>fulfillment of CAP regulations for laboratory microwave ovens.
>12.	Compare a variety of laboratory microwave tissue processors and
>begin to make a decision for what may fit their lab's specific needs.
>
>
>The Learning Objectives will be achieved by the PowerPoint
>Presentations, interactive discussion amongst the group and some
>hands-on demonstration of the Thermo Electron Shandon Tissue Wave
>Microwave Tissue Processor.
>
>
>This is the am Workshop
>
>We will break for lunch which will be furnished by the vendors.
>
>At this time there will be a short business meeting and once again it is
>election time.  So if anyone would like to run for office let it now is
>the time. I would like to turn this over to someone else and get some
>new blood in the society.
>Also at this time there are going to be a lot of raffles for some of the
>latest Histology books.
>The first one will be the histology book written by John Bancroft,
>Marilyn Gamble and is selling for $200.00 on Amazon.
>The next book will be Frieda Carsons book.
>The AFIP manual.
>The Sheehan and Hrapchek Histology book.
>There will also be gift certificates to of course Starbucks  and other
>goodies.
>
>The Afternoon workshop
>
>         THE SWEET WORKSHOP
>Smart Working Environment Ergonomics Training
>
>By Jan Minshew Marketing Manager from Leica
>
>Lean to create a working environment that is designed around the
>principles of ergonomics.  This workshop will proved the tools you need
>to protect yourself from work-related musculoskeletal disorders, help
>you determine high task and suggest appropriated work methods.  It's
>designed to give you the tools you need to be able to enjoy a pain free
>life at and away from work.  Now that is Sweet!!!!
>
>
>There will be a $10.00 charge for these workshops which includes
>membership to the NVSH for the next two years.
