Is your histology laboratory short-staffed? The work of histology professionals has a wide-ranging effect on everything from research to individual patient treatment decisions. The inability to hire qualified staff has negative ramifications for the laboratory, but more importantly, also the care of patients.

Wise words from Jackie Reilly, a student at Bastyr University. Spoiler alert: SHE PASSED!! 🎉 “Less than one week out from NPLEX I, my first licensing exam, where I demonstrate my competency in everything I’ve spent the last 2.5 years learning. Anatomy. Biochemistry. Physiology. Histology. Embryology. Immunology. Pathology. Infectious Disease. 🙃🤪 I’ve never felt so grossly humbled. The more I learn, the more I realize how much I do not know about the human body. How much there is TO learn. It’s a terrifying realization, but also a beautiful opportunity. To forever be a student of this practice. To realize that I’ll never get bored attempting to understand. Every time fear rumbles throughout my body, that I’m not good enough, that I’ll fail, I have been reminding myself of this opportunity. I am reminding myself that I work harder than most people, for the sole purpose that I strive to become the best provider I can possibly be for my future patients, because they deserve all of me. And like them, that is what this test will receive from me, regardless of its outcome. That’s all I can give and that is enough. For that is what I am, enough.” Here’s to being the best doctors we can be for our patients 💪 #naturopathicmedicine #nplex #boardexams #licensingexam #futuredoctor #medicalschool #medicalstudent #medstudentlife #medschool #medschoollife

Histology of mucocele It is the most common benign lesion of salivary glands It has two categories - Mucous extravasation and Mucous retention cyst Mucous extravasation cyst - It is not a true cystas it lacks epithelium - Most frequently occur in lower lip - Superficial lesion appears as a raised, circumscribed vesicle , bluish , translucent cast - Histologic features: Not lined by epithelium, wall is made of lining of compressed fibrous connective tissue and fibroblast, mononuclear phagocytes are present - Excision is done Mucous retention cyst - Occurs both in minor and major salivary glands - Slow growing, fluctuant, painless swelling - It is a true cyst as it is lined by epithelium - Histologic features: Lining epithelium is thin non keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, mucous secreting cells may be present occassionally, sometimes lining epithelium undergoes oncocytic metaplasia - Conservative surgical excision is done Reference: Shafer's textbook of oral pathology and Maji Jose manual of oral pathology and oral histology #dentistry #denticodiary #mucocele #histology #oralpathology

Important Considerations in Histology Sample Collection and Submission 🔬🧫 🐾⚕👩🏻⚕️🩹 IDEXX 💁🏻♀️ In which pathology process are specimens examined with the bare eye to obtain diagnostic information and cut into material for subsequent microscopic examination? 👩⚕️Grossing/trimming 💁🏻♀️ Which of the following is NOT a safe biopsy sample submission practice: 👩⚕️ Using needles and tongue depressors 💁🏻♀️ What are reasons to submit a priority test code for a biopsy submission? Select all that apply. 👩⚕️ ✅ Critically ill patient ✅ Major effect on treatment decisions ✅ Anxious owner 💁🏻♀️Select the appropriate test for submission of amputated second digit with a mass involving the second and third phalanx from a dog: 👩⚕️ Complex biopsy 💁🏻♀️ Which of these may be required for a complex biopsy: 👩⚕️ Pathologic evaluation of multiple sites or lesions within a tissue or organ Complex trimming Additional processing by histology technicians Additional decalcification and/or fixation time ✅ Any of the above may be required for a complex biopsy #HistologySample #IDEXX #PathologyProcess #BiopsySubmission #GrossingTrimming #BiopsySafety #PriorityTestCode #AmputatedDigitBiopsy #ComplexBiopsy #HistologyProcessing #TissueEvaluation #SampleCollection #VeterinaryPathology #DiagnosticSamples #VetMedInsights

The Gall bladder The gall bladder is a specialized portion of the bile duct.  It is shaped like a small sack to store bile. It has an absorptive epithelial lining to concentrate bile. And it has a muscular wall to expel bile.The epithelial lining of the gall bladder consists of simple columnar cells specialized for absorption, with an apical brush border of microvilli, very similar to intestinal absorptive cells. However, unlike intestinal epithelium, gall bladder epithelium includes only this single cell type. #gallbladder #anatomy #microscopy #histology Sources: HISTOLOGY at SIU: Bile ducts and Gall Bladder.
