Background: Basaloid salivary gland neoplasms (BSGNs) are notoriously difficult to classify in fine needle aspiration (FNA) specimens due to the morphologic overlap shown by the various benign and malignant entities in this category1,2,3. Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) represents a particular diagnostic challenge, as it typically shows low grade cytologic features despite its aggressive clinical behavior and need for more extensive surgery4. We examined whether the proliferation markers Ki67 and PHH3 could help predict malignancy in BSGNs, thus improving diagnostic accuracy and optimizing patient care.

Increasing rates of physician burnout are reported across many medical specialties, including Pathology. In 2014, 52.5% of pathologists experienced symptoms of burnout compared to 37.6% in 2011. Suicide and depression rates in physicians are also higher than the average population. As a result, the ACGME began a campaign, in 2015, to foster resident wellness. The campaign calls for strategies to develop resiliency, identify problems, and promote well-being. While wellness initiatives may not change underlying mental illness, they may mitigate environmental factors that can exacerbate mental illness or suicidal behavior. Here we report results from a recently implemented resident wellness initiative …

Stress during medical residency is a common, complex issue influenced by time demands, level of social support, and environmental factors. Increased stress levels can lead to resident burnout, and may contribute to the high rates of depression and suicide seen among physicians. In 2015, the ACGME began a campaign to promote resident wellness by calling on programs to implement strategies to develop resiliency, identify problems, and promote wellbeing. Mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) strategies have been shown to decrease burnout, improve mood, and increase compassion in healthcare providers. We implemented a wellness retreat to educate residents on the principles of …
Incidence Rates Of Critical Low Glucoses (<40 Mg/Dl) By Poct Before And After New Policies For Treatment Of Clinically Significant Hypoglycemia (<54 Mg/Dl): A Comparison Between Two Hospitals, Lilah Evans, Douglas F. Stickle, Barbara Goldsmith
Incidence Rates Of Critical Low Glucoses (<40 Mg/Dl) By Poct Before And After New Policies For Treatment Of Clinically Significant Hypoglycemia (<54 Mg/Dl): A Comparison Between Two Hospitals, Lilah Evans, Douglas F. Stickle, Barbara Goldsmith

Glucose <54 mg/dL was recently defined as Clinically Significant Hypoglycemia (CSH, American Diabetes Association, Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes, 2017). In January 2018, our hospitals instituted a callback policy for inpatient CSH from the central laboratory, and instituted a new nursing procedure for response to CSH. We examined whether the new policies had affected the incidence rate of low glucose critical values (CRITICAL, <40 mg/dL) among POCT glucose measurements. This was investigated for two hospitals within our system: A, a 950-bed academic medical center hospital, and B, a 200-bed community hospital.

Aim
To optimize the pre-embedding IG in stable cell lines and primary adult cardiomyocytes to get the most effective visualization of endomembrane/associated proteins: endo/sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release channels IP3 receptors and ryanodine receptors (IP3R, and RyR2) and the mitochondrial fission protein Drp1.

Objectives
Based on our identification of an ATRX mutation in a PPTID of a 22 year old female, we analyzed the frequency of ATRX loss in pineal parenchymal tumors using ATRX immunohistochemical staining.
