Learning cytology in times of pandemic: an educational institutional experience with remote teaching
Published in Journal of the American Society of Cytopathology
• Our experience with teaching eCytology in times of pandemic can serve as a cost-effective way to transition a traditionally in-classroom program, into an online teaching in cytology. It can also be implemented quickly. • Remote multi-head sessions, conducted by adapting the tele-cytology ROSE concept with an attached mobile device to the microsco...
The COVID-19 pandemic: implications for the cytology laboratory
Published in Journal of the American Society of Cytopathology
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The infection has predominantly respiratory transmission and is transmitted through large droplets or aerosols, and less commonly by contact with infected surfaces or fomites. The alarming spread of the infection and the severe clinical disease that it may cause h...
Clinical performance of multiplatform mutation panel and microRNA risk classifier in indeterminate thyroid nodules.
Published in Journal of the American Society of Cytopathology
We evaluated the clinical performance of an expanded mutation panel in combination with microRNA classification (MPTX) for the management of indeterminate thyroid nodules. MPTX included testing of fine-needle aspirates from multiple centers with a combination of ThyGeNEXT mutation panel for strong and weak driver oncogenic changes and ThyraMIR micr...
Cytomorphologic findings of low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma.
Published in Journal of the American Society of Cytopathology
Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is a rare fibroblastic tumor characterized by a prolonged clinical course and malignant biological behavior. Given its deceptively bland cytomorphology, a diagnosis can be quite challenging notably on fine-needle aspiration (FNA). In an attempt to shed light on some of the distinctive cytomorphologic characteri...
Cytodiagnosis and protein typing of amyloid from a vitreous washing: initial diagnostic workup of hereditary amyloidosis...
Published in Journal of the American Society of Cytopathology
Hereditary amyloidosis is a challenging but critical diagnosis, with serious implications with regard to treatment and disease surveillance for both patients and their families. Systemic symptomology is often vague. As vitreous amyloid deposition is strongly linked to the systemic, hereditary disease, its cytodiagnosis in the vitreous may be the in...
