This talk will review basic strategies to develop best laboratory practices and protocols from the beginning of the histology workflow, which results in good quality sections to minimize the need for repeat downstream testing.
Since the 19th century, the practice of tissue processing has remained largely unchanged, resulting in solidified, paraffin-embedded tissue blocks for sectioning. As staining procedures have advanced and immunohistochemistry is becoming more widely used, high-quality tissue sections are paramount for accurately interpreting disease processes. At each processing stage, many variables require consideration to eliminate artifacts and preserve tissue morphology to ensure high-quality sectioning. This talk will review basic strategies to develop best laboratory practices and protocols from the beginning of the histology workflow, which results in good quality sections to minimize the need for repeat downstream testing. Once the tissue has been processed well, getting good sections placed onto the glass slide should be easier; however, this is not always the case, with some cases proving challenging to cut. In this section of the talk, we will review the basics of embedding and sectioning, including paraffin types, molds, blades, and slides, as well as a discussion of artifacts. We will then present the “tricks of the trade” or “histology hacks” that almost every seasoned histologist has kept secret until now.

This sessions discusses the controversy of SCT as a contributory cause of death, and explores autopsy findings in hospitalized patients with SCT dying of natural disease.
Sickle Cell Trait (SCT) affects nearly 300 million people worldwide. Awareness that SCT is not an entirely benign condition is growing, but many pathologists and clinicians overlook the fact that sickling may become fatal under certain conditions in patients with the trait. At autopsy, micro-occlusive sickling is identified and SCT is confirmed by postmortem hemoglobin fractionation which proves the trait to be a contributory factor to the cause of death. This sessions discusses the controversy of SCT as a contributory cause of death, and explores autopsy findings in hospitalized patients with SCT dying of natural disease. Participants will get an understanding of the difference between the trait and the actual disease. We will also take a glimpse at S/E hemoglobinopathy, a rare form of sickle disease.

This workshop equips participants to drive process improvement by crafting sharp problem statements and applying a scientific, tool-driven approach—analytical and practical—to turn real-world data into actionable results.
Anatomy of process improvement starts with a deep dive into the components of a well-crafted problem statement. This statement not only defines the scope but also directs further data analysis. Employing a scientific method, along with specialized tools, facilitates the discovery of actionable steps towards improvement. In this workshop, participants will master this approach to process improvement, applying both analytical and non-analytical techniques to real-world scenarios

This workshop demystifies CAP accreditation by showing early-career histologists how checklist standards are created, applied, and leveraged to ensure compliance, high-quality results, and effective laboratory management.
One of the stark realities of being a laboratory professional is the creeping feeling that you're always preparing for inspection. Early-career histologists may not necessarily understand the process and why compliance is so vitally important to a laboratory. This workshop is intended to shed light on the role of the CAP in accreditation. We will focus on the assurance of high-quality laboratory results through the checklist standards. We will review how these standards are created - and applied! - in the lab, and how compliance with these standards will impact how you manage your laboratory
