The Importance of Quality in the Histology Pathway 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. |

Navigating and Avoiding Workplace Discrimination: Strategies for a Fair and Inclusive Environment? In today's diverse and dynamic workplace, understanding and addressing discrimination is critical to fostering a fair and inclusive environment. This Session "Navigating and Aoifng Workplace Discrimination"-; Strategies for a Fair and Inclusive Environment, will equip attendees with the knowledge and tools needed to identify, navigate, and prevent workplace discrimination. Using this engaging and interactive session, participants will explore the various forms of discrimination and how to avoid them as well as address them. From subtle-aggressions to overt discriminatory acts. Through real-life cases and examples, attendees will gain insight into the impact of discrimination in the workplace. |

EDTA: The Push for Increasing Molecular Yield There is an increased interest in utilization of EDTA for decalcification of bone and bone marrow specimens. This stems from a need to improve downstream testing results for molecular, DNA, and RNA assays. The issue with this is the time it takes to achieve proper decalcification. This workshop will discuss the following 1. Why is EDTA considered optimal for molecular testing? 2. How beneficial is using EDTA when performing DNA/RNA assays? 3. What methods/instrumentation can be used to accelerate this process? |

Stain Game Histology Edition Get ready to put your special stain knowledge to the ultimate test in this exciting, interactive session! First, we'll kick things off with a quiz to see what you know. Some questions will be a breeze, while others may test your expertise. Then, we'll dive a little deeper into Movat Pentachrome, Oil Red O and Periodic Acid Schiff, just to name a few. We’ll review the stains and components to help you level up. But the fun doesn’t stop there—after the tips and tricks, it's time for a second round of testing to see just how much you've learned. Will you rise to the challenge and become a stain champion? Let the game of stains begin! |

Preservation of tophi in modified GMS for urates There are several variations of laboratory procedures to preserve and demonstrate monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in tissue for the diagnosis of gout. MSU is water soluble and washed away in most staining solutions, so these procedures generally necessitate two slides; one which is silver stained and one which is left unstained to confirm the negative birefringence of MSU when viewed under polarized light. The modified Gomori's methenamine silver (GMS) for urates is an underutilized procedure which provides sensitive, high-contrast staining of MSU crystals. Additionally, we have observed that MSU deposits are preserved in the stained sections, allowing for examination by polarized light and subsequent diagnosis with only one slide. |
