  • Whole Tick Histology Webinar
    Includes Credits Recorded On: 06/26/2024

    This session will introduce a practical and customizable protocol to produce high quality whole tick sections using commonly available tools, reagents and standard histologic equipment.

    Ticks are important ectoparasites that are capable of transmitting multiple classes of pathogens and are currently linked with many emerging tick-borne diseases worldwide. There is a continuous need to further our understanding of ticks and the pathogens they transmit. Whole tick histology provides a full scope of the tick internal anatomy, which allows researchers to examine multiple organs of interest in a single section. However, routine histologic processing for hard ticks is challenging due to the rigidity and impermeability of their exoskeleton. While this problem can be overcome by embedding the specimens in hard media like epoxy resin, the sectioning process calls for specialized equipment and techniques that are not routinely available in many standard histology laboratories. In addition to discussing potential problems when working with paraffin-embedded whole ticks, this workshop will introduce a practical and customizable protocol to produce high quality whole tick sections using commonly available tools, reagents and standard histologic equipment.

  • Change, What's In It For Me?
    Includes Credits Recorded On: 04/24/2024

    As necessary as change is, though, it is not always easy, and we do not always know where or how to start, especially in the histology laboratory. This session these challenges and tools to over come them.

    We live in an ever-changing world. As happy and as set in our routines as we may be, there are always new variables that come into play that require us to adapt and change. This is very true in the histology laboratory where everything from new expectations to new regulations and technologies require us to make changes. As necessary as change is, though, it is not always easy, and we do not always know where or how to start. In the end, we can choose to be dragged kicking and screaming through changes, or be proactive drivers of changes that benefit those working in the laboratory.  This session these challenges and tools to over come them.

  • Immunohistochemistry - Stain or Assay?
    Includes Credits

    This presentation will introduce the concept of analytical reference standards for immunohistochemistry, provide some examples of the different technology as well as examples of their use.

    Since its inception, immunohistochemistry (IHC) has been called a “stain” principally because of its origin as a byproduct of traditional histochemistry. Simply, a tool to identify specific targets in cells and tissues that could not be distinguished by traditional morphologic or histochemical techniques. There is a great deal of controversy surrounding this notion. A recent editorial by B. Magnani and C. Taylor has brought the issue back to forefront of the histopathology community. Over the last 25 years, IHC has evolved into a complex testing modality. IHC has developed into a “test” that requires both qualitative AND quantitative interpretation, ushering in the era of companion diagnostics. Unfortunately, IHC test quality assurance is still grounded in subjective pass/fail interpretation based on non-standardized control tissues that are insensitive and irreproducible. The major obstacle has been the lack of appropriate tools to assess assay performance during the analytical phase, similar to what is done in clinical pathology laboratories. However, IHC calibration technology is now available that can establish analytical standardization that will help address both interpretive and technical errors, perhaps providing a means to better understand pre- and post-analytical phases. This presentation will introduce the concept of analytical reference standards for immunohistochemistry, provide some examples of the different technology as well as examples of their use.

  • Tissue Contaminants in the Histology Laboratory
    Includes Credits Recorded On: 10/25/2023

    This webinar will review TCs and their potential impacts.

    Histologists and surgical pathologists are familiar with the phenomenon of the tissue contaminant (TC) or floater.  Although TCs are unusual events, and the majority of contaminants are fragments of benign tissue they often receive limited attention until an error occurs.  This webinar will review TCs and their potential impacts.

  • Histology in Veterinary Pathology
    Includes Credits Recorded On: 09/27/2023

    This webinar will introduce three areas: diagnosis, research, and education, where histology play an important role in Vet Medicine.

    Histology plays a pivotal role in Veterinary Medicine and histotechnologists are indispensable. For example, veterinary pathologists at the University of Missouri’s Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory read more than 10,000 biopsy cases and more than 1,000 autopsy cases annually, and all tissue samples are proficiently prepared by histotechnologists. Many scientists in the College of Veterinary Medicine and across the campus use histological analysis to accelerate scientific discoveries. Histology is also an integral part of education in Vet School and is utilized in various areas including study of diseased tissues for students and residents. In this webinar, I will introduce three areas: diagnosis, research, and education, where histology play an important role in Vet Medicine.

  • Managing a Laboratory – Why Your LIS Matters
    Includes Credits Recorded On: 09/18/2023

    A good lab operation requires great techs, great pathologists and great processes. The LIS (laboratory Information System) or LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) choice can amplify, good or bad, the capabilities of your lab.

    A good lab operation requires great techs, great pathologists and great processes. The LIS (laboratory Information System) or LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) choice can amplify, good or bad, the capabilities of your lab. In this paper, we will address what is a LIS/LIMS in a traditional role and how software can manage your workload and workflow of your lab. Specimen tracking, audits, digital interfacing and reporting functions will be discussed as well as key features you should look for in a LIS/LIMS to improve the throughput, quality and performance of your lab.
