Re: [Histonet] Advice for new grads?

2022-05-09 Thread Victoria Baker via Histonet
Pam,

So far a lot of excellent advice has been given. Along the lines of what
Tim has said, learn new tests. Any chance to get scope time with a
pathologist one on one or in a multi scope setting is an excellent learning
tool. It shows your interest & you will get to know your pathologists. This
will also encourage them to feel more comfortable in the lab.
Try different lab settings. Academic research you have a lot of interaction
with scientific people & you will have to figure things out/research them
yourself.  Clinical is where most people start out & what Tim said is spot
on. Pharma is really incredible, especially now. It will most likely mean
working with animal, cell culture & archival materials. You’ll need to
bring your A game to work each day, but most of the people in all these
settings will be willing to show an eager learner.
Good days come with bad days. It’s hard to not get discouraged, but
remember it is just one day.
Go get ‘em!

Re: [Histonet] Question - Bone marrow core biopy specimens

2021-05-03 Thread Victoria Baker via Histonet
Hi Richard!

That is the duplicate of what we do in our lab.  We were putting both the
core and the clot on the same slide for in house testing, but den outs we
sometimes have to split the specimen and only on a slide.

I have a question for you about ISH Kappa/Lambda.  What decal protocol do
you use and do you see edge non specific detection/substrate on your
slides?  We use the Roche Iview blue.

I hope what I said helps.

[Histonet] Frozen section QA

2020-10-26 Thread Victoria Baker via Histonet
Happy Monday morning!

We recently had an incident which led us to review our policy on frozen
section QA.
In your institution does the same pathologist who did the frozen section
read the permanent sections?  Also if they do then who is the pathologist
responsible for doing the QA?  How is this work flow completed?
Last, does any facility with less than 450 beds have their pathologists
specialized.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Have a wonderful week ahead!

Re: [Histonet] question about Digital Pathology Certificate

2020-04-08 Thread Victoria Baker via Histonet
Ranna,

I took the course and it was well worth the cost for me.  As to how it is
assisting my career right now it isn't as my facility stopped using imaging
about a year and a half ago.  With the pandemic they may be rethinking
this, but it won't be immediate.
This type of skill will be more important, I believe, with the advancement
of telemedicine and what we should be learning from the COVID-19 shut down
or limited resources of certain services.  Plus with so many facilities
merging to survive in the current environment this is going to be necessary.

What I would like to see is more follow up courses and more attention drawn
to this program.

Re: [Histonet] CPT Code 88172

2019-09-04 Thread Victoria Baker via Histonet
Hi,

I just referred back to my sometimes frustrating clear as mud 2019 CPT
coding binder.
88172 is not saying that it has to be done by a pathologist.  In many cases
it is completed by a Cytotechnologist.
The precise wording says
"Cytopathology, evaluation of fine needle aspirate; immediate
cytohistologic study to determine adequacy for diagnosis, first evaluation
episode each site
The professional code comes in on 88173 where it involves the
interpretation and report.

The stance that it is a tech component comes from the
Cytologist/pathologist obtaining the specimen.  However they are
responsible for the adequacy of of the specimen.  The argument goes both
ways.

At this institution we use it as a professional code only.

[Histonet] Roche Symphony and Ultra users

2019-08-30 Thread Victoria Baker via Histonet
Happy Friday!

I'm looking to see if anyone out there is using these two specific
instruments together.

For about 8 or 9 months we have been experiencing what looks like water or
water droplets on the IHC slides.  It's not on all slides and we can go a
span of time with no issues only to have it come back.  It's not antibody
specific either.  We wash (Dawn dish detergent) and then load into the
Symphony.

I know there is the human factor, but right now I am just looking to see if
anyone is or has experienced this.

Thanks and enjoy your weekend.

Re: [Histonet] Use of Freeze Spray in a Cryostat

2019-05-28 Thread Victoria Baker via Histonet
Jennifer,

I called Leica as we have 2 cryostats at different locations so we needed
to be sure that we could use our current spray that we get from Leica.

We were told that their spray with the 1,1,1,2 Tetrafluoroethane is safe to
use.
I would therefore check to see what you have in stock and if it is this you
should follow the guidelines on the can.

We do not use spray on possible airborne pathogen cases and we avoid
spraying the specimen directly at all times.

Hope this helps.

Re: [Histonet] Roche "bashing"

2019-03-06 Thread Victoria Baker via Histonet
Kelly,

It is not bashing, it is frustration and concern.

We need our instruments and reagents to work so that we deliver reliable
and consistent results to our pathologists.  They trust our work and
dedication to them and ultimately the patient.  When something like this
happens and we can't get a real resolution it undermines many things, but
trust is first for me.

Re: [Histonet] Ventana dispensers - last word

2019-03-05 Thread Victoria Baker via Histonet
Terri,

We went through hell with the Roche dispensers in late 2017 to early 2018.
The only thing positive I have to say is that the field engineer and our
FAS are great.  I have little respect for the sales staff or inside
support.

We pay top dollar for these instruments and the required reagents and all
Roche shows they are truly concerned with is the next sale

We also had a sit-down with their scientific people as well,  and here we
are again.  We haven't had the magnitude of failures this time but it is
disheartening to see that what they said they were going to fix has not
been fixed.

I was also wondering why they would send product failure notifications to
clinicians and not to the laboratories that are using the reagents.  I got
a notification from one of our oncology groups - but I never received one
in our lab.

Ventana doesn't exist and I miss that very much.  With each buy out,
merger or supposed partnership that I see with suppliers and manufacturers
things are turned more to the bottom line and in the end the patient
suffers and it's wrong.

But that's big business.

To the Company's  credit, I did receive a call of apology and a listening

sincerely hope they understand the frustration that such a problem can
cause.
I want to state that I really do like the Benchmark Ultra, but the
instrument is only as good as the individual parts.  Based on many private
responses that I received, I think that dispenser failure is probably being
vastly underreported. I can only hope that a moment's indiscretion on their

Yes, it does. The air bubble went directly under the tissue.

[Histonet] Air pocket in paraffin blocks

2019-02-21 Thread Victoria Baker via Histonet
Hi,

When I was trained to do embedding there were many things that the
professor stressed to me need to be done in order to have the tissue block
acceptable for sectioning.  One of these was air bubbles.

Recently we had a new tech embed a derm block that had an bubble that was
pretty big.  The other (experienced) techs didn't think anything of it
either and sectioned it.  When I got the block for IHC screening I made a
QA form stating that the block should have been re-embedded before giving
it to be sectioned, or when the first tech sectioned it could have repaired
the block or melted it down.  This air bubble was big enough to be seen so
I don't think it could have been missed - unless the block wasn't checked
right after embedding.

What has me a little upset is that no one seemed to care about this.

I would really appreciate some feedback about this from other people.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Histonet] Closed doors in Histology

2018-11-16 Thread Victoria Baker via Histonet
Mike,

Yes that is correct.  Histology labs because of their toxic chemicals and
less than pleasant odors need to keep the doors shut for proper
ventilation.  This doesn't always happen when there is a high volume of
people going in and out.
I like it to the requirement that there be a sink (clean sink) in every
Histology lab too.  We have two sinks, 1 for special stains and the other
for tissue processor loading and formalin neutralization.  Which sink do
you think might be cleaner

[Histonet] Epic and Cerner users, looking for feedback on these systems

2017-11-17 Thread Victoria Baker via Histonet
Happy Friday!

Our hospital is starting to look at new HIS vendors.  The two that are
being strongly looked at are Cerner and Epic.

Of course the hospital is using a consulting firm who have sort of tied our
hands in terms of following up with vendors and any after the demo
questions we are to filter through them.  We have been told though, by one
of the hospital directors that we can reach out to colleagues and questions.
Currently we have SoftPath DX.  The system is labor intensive and the
version we have is not in keeping with our needs.  But it has taken us
further than we were before in terms of being able to track cases and
monitor our workflow.  We are paired in the hospital with several different
systems such as NexGen and Sorian for financials.  There is also Oracle
database which causes some headaches as well.
I would like to get an idea of what people think that use either of these
systems.  Do they slow down work flow?
  Is it generally user friendly?
 Can you track all entries and produce accurate statistics?
 Are either of these companies strong in support before, during and after
GO LIVE?
Can you incorporate PDF files into reports or access information from the
HIS into the LIS  with little or no hand to computer combat?

These are just surface type questions, but I would truly appreciate
anyone's input.

Thank you and have a nice weekend.

Re: [Histonet] IHC counterstain offline

2017-10-12 Thread Victoria Baker via Histonet
Curt,

I am not sure how much you will actually save if you factor in the cost of
a person hand counter staining these slides.  I will be the first to say
Ventana is over priced, but off line counter staining brings in an
additional variable and cost.  In the end is it a real savings?  It's an
individual call, but I wouldn't do it.

Hi.

Back when I was in research we did Hale's Colloidal Iron stain.  Making the

the right type but there is just too many choices.  I've also been trying

If anyone can forward some information on where I could find either of

Re: [Histonet] Breast fixation

2015-08-03 Thread Victoria Baker via Histonet
Karen
We take ours off on Sunday.  The tissue processor is set up with 6 hours of
fixation the minimum time.  We have VIP 5's so on Friday the tissue goes on
a delay run that is set to come out of formalin at 12:30 AM Sunday
morning.  The end of the process is at 9 AM Sunday morning.  Just take the
tissue off and let it solidify.   When your next tech comes in they can put
the cassette in the embedding center to heat up again and embed it.  You
will follow your same protocol and record your times accordingly.  It might
mean having to ask someone to come in for the 5 minutes it takes to do this
but it works.  If needed you can adjust your times to fit your schedule for
someone being available to take them off.
I hope this will help.
