Good Afternoon Netters, I have a project to validate a special stainer and will be starting with GMS. What can I use as a good source of fungus? Was it last week there was mention of orange peels and onions? I need to get the OK of the attending pathologist, so I probably can't use anything too

The notes say that after two years it can be released if approved, but the best way is to intentionally preserve material if you have any idea there may be a need. And we could provide unstained slides. Joyce Weems Pathology Manager 678-843-7376 Phone 678-843-7831 Fax joyce.we...@emoryhealthcar

Luckily we do have a research coordinator who takes care of all of these for us and he is very thorough. He obtains consent and deals with all costs. I am thinking that I just need to verify that the facility receiving the block (s) are retaining them for the appropriate amount of time, which the

Bill is correct, CAP is actually the least of your worries. There are many regulations about human tissue used in research (I do not know them all), but patient consent is essential and in some cases the patient must actually agree to the specific research project. Here we have regulations abo

There are other issues, besides CAP, that you should consider when releasing blocks. 1. A block is a medical record. Has the patient consented to release for research? 2. If the block is released prior to 14 days discharge and there are any charges, the charge must be sent to your hospital. Post

I send them without hesitation. Ours is to assist the patient not get tangled up in regulatory bureaucracy. Just as you wouldn't hesitate to send a subpoenaed block. The point here is to KNOW where your blocks are when not on site. Yes we are custodians of blocks and slides, but you mustn't i

I did call the CAP and they stated first of all, that it is a very confusing checklist component! But I was told that the research facility is taking on the ownership of the block, and we need to ensure that whoever we are sending our blocks to are following the proper retention protocols. From
