Re: [Histonet] Histopathology text recommendations

2018-05-21 Thread Esther C Peters via Histonet
Hi Gordon,


I think you meant a histopathology atlas for slide reading, right? I am not a 
human histopathologist, but there are many such texts available, for example, 
see these at Amazon:


https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks=histopathology

Amazon.com: histopathology: 
Books
www.amazon.com
Online shopping from a great selection at Books Store.

Also, several websites from medical schools offer virtual microscopy histoslide 
collections of different pathologies, such as:


https://med.virginia.edu/biomolecular-analysis-facility/services/shared-instrumentation/aperio-scanscope-slide-scanner/catalogs-of-histology-and-pathology-virtual-slides-on-the-web/


http://www.mbfbioscience.com/iowavirtualslidebox


https://www.amboss.com/us/knowledge/Virtual_histopathology_slide_box


And others, just search in Google for "histopathology virtual slide box."


Perhaps one of the pathologists on this list-serv can guide you to the best 
one(s) for your needs!

Subject: [Histonet] Histopathology text recommendations

Can anyone give me recommendations for a good histopathology text and
atlas? I'm not a professional or even a formal student, I'm an amateur
microscopist with a keen interest in histology, although I did attend a UK
medical school many years ago only to decide that medicine was not for me.
I'm now retired and expanding my interest in microscopy, which has
fascinated me since the age of 8, I now have a collection of decent
microscopes and microtomes and I'm setting up my study as a home microscopy
and slide making facility. I have a growing collection of old histology
slides including a number of pathology examples and I'm keen to be able to
identify the histological changes that take place due to disease. In
particular I am looking to be able to identify and photograph carcinomas as
I recently acquired a photomicrography bench used by the Imperial Cancer
Research Campaign in London during the 1950s and 1960s, and it would be
appropriate to use it for the purpose it was designed for.

Hope someone can help, I've subscribed to this list for many years but only
rarely posted anything, the last time was when I enquired about replaceable
blade holders for the original Cambridge rocking microtome and a very kind
histologist in the USA sent me a slightly damaged holder and some blades.
Fortunately I never managed to adapt it for the Cambridge as it is a
perfect fit for the Reichert and Leitz rotary microtomes I now own!

[Histonet] Billing for iuds with tissue

2018-05-21 Thread Ann Specian via Histonet
Can someone tell me the correct way to bill an IUD that has tissue. If there is 
no tissue then we just bill cpt code 88300. If there is tissue should you bill 
88305 or 88300 and 88305?

I could use some positive  H-pylori stomach tissue for HP controls and would 
take others GI for H controls. Let me know how to make contact and we can set 
up arrangements to ship blocks here.

If anyone is looking for tissue for a bank, I have a boxes and boxes of derm 
specimens and GI specimens. I know they're probably not what everyone needs but 
if someone out there does need them, you can have them. figured I'd ask before 
I disposed of them... at the landfill next to the city water well... LOL, just 
kidding, I know someone out there will not think that's funny, it's just a joke.

Hello all,



returned late last night from Pittsburg and the Intel-International Science and 
Engineering Fair, May 13-18.  The largest most prestigious pre-college STEM 
fair in the world. Took  four high school students from the Spokane region.  
One of our other "Team Washington" students from near Seattle won the second 
place prize for the entire 1,400 project fair from 81 countries and regions.  A 
$50,000 scholarship with a chemical engineering project.


While there, I viewed or walked by every project.  Saw 50-60 with histology 
images/histology projects.  IF, IHC, H, Safrinin O, FISH, PAS, decals, 
frozen, TMA's; anything and everything we all know.  On osteoarthritis, breast 
cancer, kidney disease, diabetic pancreas, neuro, lymphoma's and more.


If you are able to help what could be a potential world class student in the 
field of histology/pathology/medical and clinical research, hope you will.


Sorry I was never able to get to the local histology school while my students 
were being judged in Convention Center.  Couldn't seem to ever contact them.
