2010-03-23 Thread Merced M Leiker
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? :-)  :-)

Merced

[Histonet] Sakura VIP 6 vs Excelsior

2010-03-23 Thread Durden, Kelley
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.

[Histonet] Leica Paraplast

2010-03-23 Thread kristen arvidson
Has anyone who uses paraplast (we use the basic one) noticed a change in the 
quality of your tissue?  I have recently found out that they have changed 
manufacturing sites in the past couple of months.  I am having on and off 
issues with my skin specimens that have been going on for about 2 months or 
so.  Thought there may be a correlation.  Any thoughts?

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. It removed the Silver 
Nitrate. This was a trick that one of my instructors used while I was in 
school. She got the idea from one of the silver stains that we were doing 
(Reticulin, I think). I don't know if how it will work on your face or if it 
will irritate the delicate skin but I think that I would try it anyway just to 
get rid of the black mark. 

Thanks for the laugh and my heart goes out to you.

Hi Kristen,
We were using the Paraplast Xtra and switched to something else after we 
noticed a difference in the quality of the paraffin. The tissues weren't 
cutting as well and the paraffin seemed to be gritty. We found we were going 
through many more blades due to nicks and scratches and many times had to 
switch blades mid-block.

Has anyone who uses paraplast (we use the basic one) noticed a change in the

2010-03-23 Thread John Kiernan
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.

After you stop laughing seriously I need some help here, apparently I got my
fingers in some silver nitrate yesterday and touched my face under my nose
over my lip and now I have black spots that won't come off.  I have done
this on my hands before but never on my face.  So far I have tried soaking a
cloth in hydrogen peroxide hoping to bleach it with no luck, I even tried
putting some gold chloride on it to see if I could tone it down, to no
avail.  Any ideas?  Make up only goes so far and lasts so long.

[Histonet] Re: Grossing Room Staffing

2010-03-23 Thread Robert Richmond
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.

LOL!  I am so sorry Patsy I have been reading this unfortunate but 
extremely funny story and I just could not help myself any more. I know 
this has been such a pain in the hiney for you to have to deal with and I 
am sure all of us here sympathize. It's still funny though  you got to 
just laugh it off sometimes  :-) 

I sincerely hope you do not have 3rd degree burns. I have no idea what can 
take this off other than time. I think derm abrasion might have been the 
only thing that might  work. It's expensive though. 

And just to make you feel a little better. You are not the only person 
this has happened to, you're not alone. I think perhaps that's why many of 
us got such a laugh out of it.  or some of us could just want to pick

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

[Histonet] PA baby sitter

2010-03-23 Thread Jeffrey Silverman
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.

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!

The HPC registration rules have changed but most of the info you need are
available on the IMBS website

If you have a recognised Degree it should only be a matter of getting your
