Morules and β-catenin predict POLE mutation status in endometrial cancer: A pathway to more cost-effective diagnostic procedures
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that the presence of either morules or nuclear β-catenin expression in EEC could practically rule out the presence of POLE mutations. These morphologic and immunohistochemical features can be used as preliminary screening tools for POLE mutations, offering significant savings in time and resources and potentially enhancing clinical decision-making and patient management strategies. However, further validation in larger, multi-institutional studies is required to fully understand the implications of these findings on clinical practice.PMID:38513273 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqae023 (Source: Ameri...

Clinicopathologic correlation of dermatologic diseases in patients with darker pigmentation
CONCLUSIONS: As many clinicians are taught that there are no effective treatment options or that these diseases are considered "cosmetic" in nature, patients often do not get a thorough medical workup or skin biopsy. This article aims to decrease the knowledge gap and serve as a resource for anyone involved in the care of patients with these cutaneous conditions.PMID:38513285 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqae013 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)

The carbon footprint of a surgical pathology laboratory in France
CONCLUSIONS: The pathology laboratory's carbon footprint was equivalent to the yearly carbon impact of 11 French inhabitants. This footprint is dominated by inputs and associated freight. This suggests an urgent need to develop ecodesign and self-sufficiency in our routine practices.PMID:38470223 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqae022 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)

Analyzing clinical laboratory specimen rejection rates at a specialized hospital in Ethiopia: A 2-year document review
CONCLUSIONS: This study emphasized a significant incidence of specimen rejection, particularly in the hematology laboratory, underscoring the need for immediate implementation of corrective actions and preventive measures. Furthermore, conducting comprehensive larger-scale studies is recommended to deepen our understanding of and investigate the specific factors contributing to specimen rejection in greater detail.PMID:38459898 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqae019 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)

Cardiothoracic operating room blood gas workflow performance improvement initiative
CONCLUSIONS: A multidisciplinary team with key stakeholders is important to address complex care issues. Performance improvement methodology is critical to develop interventions that hardwire the process. This intervention led to a sustained reduction in secondary relabeling of patient samples and improved timeliness of reporting of blood gas results.PMID:38460972 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqae014 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)
