Re: [Histonet] unsubscribe
I really did not want to jump in on this, but Kathy did voice one thing that I'd been wanting to: Adding the To unsubscribe, click here link so that it's obvious. Maybe put it at the top instead of bottom of messages? I also wanted to add that probably most people wanting to unsubscribe are not even reading the messages at all, just hitting reply to a random message...so it may be a moot point trying to tell them. So, in light of that, how hard is it to just disregard and delete these single-word unsubscribe messages like so much spam? :-) :-) Regards, Merced --On Tuesday, March 23, 2010 9:17 AM -0400 kgrob...@rci.rutgers.edu wrote: Sorry about that, I hit the Send key prematurely.

[Histonet] Sakura VIP 6 vs Excelsior
I can't say anything positive or negative about the Thermo excelsior. I got some information from our sales rep and the processor seemed really great. But when it came down to it we had to stay true to Sakura and we were not disappointed. We have the VIP 6 and we love it. This processor has some really amazing features. I cannot enumerate all of them at this time b/c I'd take up lots and lots of space. The features we use the most that we continue to be very excited about are the solution manager, the bottle check, the automatic solution rotation, cassette count, bulk reservoir tanks, and to help reduce exposure to xylene we definitely use the tubes provided to drain and fill the xylene carboys and we no longer pour solutions in and out of the carboys. The carboys are nice though b/c they are a wide mouth size and there is a cap to put on the connector end so if you are walking to and from the processor with a carboy there are no spills from sloshing around. If you want me to go into greater detail about any of this please email me back. The menus are very user friendly. The touch screen is easy to use - we always wear gloves to keep finger prints at bay. The lid is ergonomically designed and easy to open and close. We have had to request a technician twice - once for a lid sensor and once for a soft ware upgrade / update - but both times they've had a tech out here the next day. I recommended this processor to another lab here in FL and as far as I know they are over the moon about theirs as well. One other really great thing was that after we purchased our 6 I was sent to CA for a training at Sakura and the information I received there was invaluable. The staff professionalism and knowledge was second to none and I left with a very thorough understanding of the machine. I was able to come back to our lab and provide training to the other staff that use the VIP 6. No I'm not a sales rep I am just a very happy customer.

RE: [Histonet] help (UNCLASSIFIED)
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Patsy, I have removed Silver Nitrate on my hands by first treating the stain with Iodine solution then flushing the area with Sodium Thiosulfate solution (5% ?) then washing my hands thoroughly with soap and water.

Re: [Histonet] help for silver
Some 35 years ago, a person older than I told me the most effective way to get silver stains off skin was to rub the affected part with slightly dampened mercuric chloride powder. He may have been right; I never tried it! I've tried things like iodine-thiosulphate and Farmer's reducer (ferricyanide + thiosulphate mixture) but my experience is that they do very little. The blackened epidermis flakes off, usually in a couple of days.

[Histonet] Re: Grossing Room Staffing
Rick Garnhart HT(ASCP), Memorial Health System Histology Supervisor, Colorado Springs, CO asks: I need help in convincing my Pathology group that it is old school to have a aid or tech in the gross room to hand them specimen and put lids on cassettes and close them. We have a PA that is employed by the pathology group that wants help in putting lids on and closing cassette. We use the Thermo-Cassette printer in the gross room and print cassettes from a bar-coded label on the container. No cassettes are preprinted and placed on the specimen container lids. Since I do locum tenens pathology, I frequently gross in unfamiliar surroundings. It always dismays me not to have an assistant when I gross, since my risk of mixing up specimens is high (haven't mixed one up yet). It saves a remarkable amount of time to have somebody hand me specimens and take away bottles, close cassettes, write up additional cassettes when needed, and write the embedder's record in the few labs that have this amenity (which should be required by regulatory agencies). I think the argument for a pathologist's assistant's assistant is even stronger. The pathologist's time is worth nothing, but the PA's time is quite valuable.

We are having a problem with our reticulin stain. It is not showing a real delination of the reticulin fibers. They are there but it tends to fade off.We do the brown and hopps stain.

Re: [Histonet] Reticulin Stain
Hi Alison, Do you have a problem with all type of tissue ( Liver, Lung, Lymph Nodes, Trephine ... ) or just Trephine specimens. ? If you only have problems with Retic on BMT, if you use Formic Formaldehyde Decal fluid, see if EDTA make a difference. If you experience issue with all type of tissue. The ammoniacal silver may be at fault, make a new batch and test it with liver or reactive Lymph Node hopefully it will work. In my lab we use the Gordon Sweet Retic. Staining protocol copy can be found in any copy of Bancroft Stevens or the newer version Bancroft Gamble, and Bancroft Cook if you don'g have access to any of these book you can download the staining protocol GORDON SWEET'S RETIChttp://library.med.utah.edu/WebPath/HISTHTML/MANUALS/RETIC.PDF Hope this help.

[Histonet] PA baby sitter
I had to laugh when I read this one. I'm a PA grossing 8500 surgicals per year in a busy general hospital so it's not just biopsies but lots of major organ resections with tons of orthopedics. I work with two histotechnologists. Not only do I close my own cassettes, I accession most specimens, make my own cassettes, save and dispose of the surgical leftover tissues, serve as histology supervisor and laboratory safety officer for all sections attending all the associated meetings that those two entail, often embed at least half of the tissues and pitch in whenever I'm needed in histo- cutting and running automated specials. Having said that, if there's anyone in Europe looking for such a person and can pay 60K euro per annum , I'd love to meet you. I'm in the opposite boat of Malika. Hey, wanna trade jobs? The techs are at my beck and call to bring me things I need, like more acetone or formalin and/or to attend to whatever other help I need, but no one ever sits with me to close the cassettes and feed me specimens. I agree with the accountability issues involved in lost or mishandled tissue. What happens when the aide is off, do they expect a histotech to come in to close the cassettes for the PA. And the productivity increase for such assistance can't be more than 5% IMHO based on my experience.

[Histonet] US HT
Hello Malika, I am not sure about sponsorship and immigration but what I can tell you is that to apply for an HT from ASCP you can take the exam which requires you to have either an associates degree with a combined twelve credits in chemistry and biology, as well as one year experience as a histotech, or you can take a NACCLE'S accredited course to be eligible for the exam. You maybe able to convert you UK credentials to ASCP I am not totally sure. This website should help http://www.ascp.org/FunctionalNavigation/certification/International.aspx. Hope this helps a little. I myself wanted to know what the requirements would be if I wanted to convert my HT ASCP into UK accreditation. Any advice you have would be great! Thanks and good luck!

Re: [Histonet] number of slides
We do three levels on all diagnostic biopsies. Liver and Kidney also get upfront special stains, as do gastric biopsies (h pylori) We did cut down on extra unstained slides since we were discarding most of them. As far as stopping levels, my pathologist thinks it goes against standard of care. As for prostate biopsies, they are so small any more, that we are thinking o cutting 4 slides staining 1and 4 for HE and holding 2 and 3 for possible IHC. We are finding that when we have to go back there is minimal tumor for IHC demonstration. Susan T.

Re: [Histonet] US HT
Janelle The HPC registration rules have changed but most of the info you need are available on the IMBS website http://www.ibms.org/ and the HPC website http://www.hpc-uk.org/ If you have a recognised Degree it should only be a matter of getting your Part One the of the HPC Registration to be able to be employed has a registered BMS, then with the Part 2 you get your speciality in the discipline of your choice. Hope this help.
