What is the reasoning for this?? I think the insurance company would want a
diagnosis! Does this person enjoy surgery for the fun of it and not
actually need it? Or maybe she has another problem she doesn't want her
insurance to know about? Although if she has insurance she can't be

Nicole,
Does the surgical consent form address the issue, including consent for further
testing? Many do, and this should cover the issue. She does, however, have the
right to revoke any prior permissions at any time she decides to change her
mind. I would have her sign a statement that she
Hi,
In our histology lab, we are considering to move from ethanol to
isopropanol for processing formalin fixed samples (post mortem samples,
so big samples). I have been diving in the histonet archives and have
found that the subject has been laready discussed, but somehow I cannot
find a
Hello Netters,
I am seeking information on Exakt technology benchmarks. Those of you using
this technology, will you kindly share with me how many specimens/slides can
be completed in a work day? I am new to this technology and have been
tasked with establishing benchmarks/goals for the lab
Also, legally speaking, if it isn't documented, it didn't happen in the eyes of
the law.

Hi Julio:
I have been using isopropanol for as long as I can remember.
I work only with post-mortem brain tissue (in standard-sized cassettes) in a
neuropathology laboratory at a brain tissue bank.
Because the brains have been previously fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin
for a month, I do

Thanks so much for the very useful feedback...
We have only encountered this problem recently and
these suggestions will be very useful!

I believe the question was asking for laws.
A law is different than what insurance companies may or may not prefer. They
have 'rules' but have to follow 'laws'. Laws that might concern this are also
enacted at both the national and state levels. Any state might differ over
another. All I can
I would think the patient would have to sign an Against Medical Advise
release just as if they were leaving the ER even though you know they
were having a heart attack.
Should the reason for refusal to have the specimen processed is they do
not have insurance and you do a gross only then they

I just wanted to get your feedback on cutting slabs from human femora
for histopathological analysis.
At them moment we are just using a hack saw to cut 7mm slabs from
femora. We notice some marks on the cartilage from sawing, so when we cut
the tissue down
I forgot to mention that we are using a 3 in one HIER for target retrieval,
instead of running
down (xylene-ETOH). Could this also contribute to tissue falling off?

Most hospitals that I've worked at that needed to cut bone used a Stryker bone
saw. The pathologists never mentioned damaged cartilage.

Hi Merissa,
Exakt technologies makes a wonderful saw designed specifically for exactly what
you are trying to do with a hack saw. It is a bit pricy though. Contact Linda
Durbin at 405-848-5800 for a quote.
Alternatively, you can use a wet saw designed for cutting stained glass. Check

Hi everyone.
If you have several OCT blocks in which the Tissue has fallen out and to want
to salvage them for IHC. What is the best way to do so to minimize freeze-thaw
damage.
These samples were harvested and then were probably snap frozen in Isopentane
surrounded by dry ice and stored at
Does anyone have information they could share on performing IHC on whole mount,
sledge microtome free floating slices of brain? A Neuropathologist colleague is
interested in doing this.
Thanks in advance for your help.

A colleague of mine has asked if I have any experience wholemount
immunofluorescence staining for mouse aorta. I don't have any experience with
this so thought I would ask the group for any suggestions/protocols/ tips etc.
Thanks

Not sure why they would want to do this for IF staining. The only thing I can
think of that is similar to this is in mouse models of atherosclerosis we have
run en Face analysis of the mouse aorta. The entire mouse aorta is dissected
out, trimmed of fat and cut open via a specific
