Re[2]: [Histonet] QIHC test

2014-09-04 Thread Brendal Finlay
The one I received last year has essential and recommended reading lists on 
page 8.  I am still studying for the qualification.  I've been using the two 
guides from Dako, Carson's Histotechnology A Self-Instructional Text, and the 
elusive Elias' Immunohistopathology A Practical Approach to Diagnosis.  There 
are some Journal of Histotechnology articles I'd like to get my hands on, but 
have not been able to yet.  I'm also curious about the other books.

Dako education guides, available from their website. Not answer books, but 
good for reviewing theory. If the MSH one is like their other study guides, the 
learning activity is to look up and fill in the answers from other resources

 I ordered the MSH online study guide for the QIHC, but it was only 
 questions...no answer key in the back.  What books am I supposed to get the 
 answers from?  Any other study suggestions? Thanks!

The IHC Resource Committee hopes to soon have some IHC materials available via 
the NSH website.  I'll email the group as soon as I learn that it is active.  
You will have to be an NSH member in order to have access to the links.

2014-09-04 Thread Marcum, Pamela A
I have not worked in or visited as technical representative since the middle 
70' that allowed in any food or drink in the lab anywhere.  If you have food or 
snacks they go in your locker and out of the lab or don't bring them in.  

In most labs this an automatic write up and can lead to progressive 
disciplinary action.  Your safety officer or department head should be all over 
this and if you don't have one check CLIA, CAP and any other letter 
organization to find it.  This is a health and safety issue that is taken 
seriously everywhere.  

If I find someone with food or drink in this lab they are disciplined before 
one of our safety officers from OHS finds out.  The fact that it is hidden or 
in cabinet does not cut it - No food or drink in the lab period.

2014-09-04 Thread Rathborne, Toni
What is staff doing at their desks? Are the desks located in a work area where 
specimens or chemicals are? If not, and the desk area can be  clearly separated 
from the work area, then maybe  you could have a sign posted in each area. No 
food or drink permitted in this area or Food and drink permitted in this 
area.  This way it clearly states where the food will be allowed. If their 
desks are in an area where specimens are handled, then disciplinary action 
should follow.

Amanda Reichard, HTL (ASCP)cm, at Licking Memorial Health Systems in
Newark, Ohio asks:

Would anyone be willing to share their policy/procedure for radioactive
specimen acceptance, transport, storage, and disposal? - We are currently
revising our policy and would like to see what precautions, if any, other
institutions establish in the laboratory.

I've never seen a written policy - these questions are customarily swept
under the rug - but I've seen references though I have no very current ones.

By far the most common specimens are breast masses and sentinel lymph nodes
with technetium 99m, which has a half-life of only 6 hours. These specimens
don't require any special handling beyond Universal Precautions.

I haven't been able to get a lot of information about the radioactive
seeds used to treat prostate cancer, and occasionally received in TURP
specimens. The isotopes used have half-lives of around 70 days, so they
would be regarded as being potentially hazardous for around two years (ten
half-lives). It usually takes a phone call to find out how long ago the
seeds were put in.

[Histonet] Color in Sections with Adipose Tissue?

2014-09-04 Thread jerry sedgewick
I've observed images on a computer screen with a person next to me 
insisting that the adipose tissue in HE stained tissue has a color 
versus areas with no tissue (open areas).  Am I missing something, or do 
others see either a slight discoloration in adipose tissue, or a 
slightly different color, versus areas without tissue?  I suspect it 
depends on section thickness, but given a 5 - 8 micron section it seems 
that whatever tissue might have been present would be scraped away with 
the blade.

cell membranes that outline the fat cell. The fat dissolves during 
processing leaving only the membrane and vasculature. If they want to 
see the actual fat it has to be done by frozen section.


Does this make sense?

I've observed images on a computer screen with a person next to me
insisting that the adipose tissue in HE stained tissue has a
color versus areas with no tissue (open areas).  Am I missing
something, or do others see either a slight discoloration in
adipose tissue, or a slightly different color, versus areas
without tissue?  I suspect it depends on section thickness, but
given a 5 - 8 micron section it seems that whatever tissue might
have been present would be scraped away with the blade.

Hello histonet,
It seems my last sent out email got lost. So I have to send it again. Could 
anyone recommend an GPT2/ALT2 antibody works on rat paraffin section please? I 
did some search but don't know which one is good.
 
Thanks,
