Hello all,
I have some questions for the community sized hospital that are doing MOHS. I
would appreciated any input on the following questions:
Do you have people specifically dedicated to performing MOHS?
About how many specimens per patient do you receive?
Are MOHS procedures performed
Does anyone know if and where I can find any statistical information on the
average number of GI biopsies taken per patient?

we currently use a form called Pactrak and then place it into the LMS
system for tracking when things go out of our lab. these go usually to
outlying areas. When specimens are brought to the lab we have paperwork
that we call transmittal sheets. They have to be signed off by the person
that
The patient condition should dictate what is taken, so the number will vary.

In my opinion it doesn't make a lot of difference which type you use,
since all you actually use is the 2mm or so that extends beyond the edge
of the knife holder. What is crucial is that you use the type of blade

I wish! Try at least 100blk /day. And that is on an easy day. Can I work with
you all? We were taught to cut a block a minute, levels or not. At slowest, one
ice tray of 14 blocks in 20 minutes ,with quality. And yes ,I can still do it
after all these years. When I started I had 3 months
Would you experienced histotechs mind to look at this program and see if it
would cause skin biopsies to be poorly processed? I think too much time in
alcohols.
The pathologists say they look bad.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I believe the NSH published standards a few years back that suggested the
average for embedding is one minute per block and 2.5 minutes for sectioning.
My personal opinion is that one minute is too fast for sectioning, unless you
have already faced in and are just taking a section off the top
In my personal opinion I think the processing cycle is too short. I know that
skin biopsies are tiny but we process all skin samples on longer processing
cycles. Granted I'm in research but we use 45 minutes to 1 hour per station
for all of our skin samples and they cut just fine.

Was this protocol working in the past? Depending on the size of the tissue
specimens, I would suspect that they are Not completely dehydrated and poorly
infiltrated.

What does look bad mean? In what way do they look bad? Do they cut well?

I agree that the time may be too short. I would suggest removing the 80%
alcohol station and adding another 100%, with the time of 25 minutes. If you
have a VIP tissue processor, you may also want to change the mix to fast,
with such short times in the stations, the processor does not have any

Hello Jesus!
Try Sanderson's Rapid Bone Stain from Dorn and Hart Microedge
(www.dornandhart.com). This is a metachromatic stain and should help you to
penetrate the resin if heated at 60C and stained for 5-10 minutes depending
upon section thickness. Rinse the slide in dH2O @ 60C and blot
I agree with Liz, its too short for big skins. I always call skins chewy

It depends on the paraffin. The melting point is usually on the bag.
