| PathologyOutlines.com is a free, no-registration website with a unique, comprehensive, regularly updated textbook of surgical and clinical pathology (chapters are in center section of this page). Each chapter has numerous links to images and references. We also have extensive lists of related jobs, conferences, fellowships and books (buttons are on left side of this page). |
1 December 2008: (a) We extensively updated the Skin-Melanocytic Tumors chapter, now with 450+ image links (many links are to multiple images), including clinical, dermoscopic and microscopic images. There are also 500+ references from the most current literature. (b) We posted new Management Page articles, “The Tangled Web of Claim Payments-How Managed Care Contracts Kill Your Revenue” and “Hospital Outreach Laboratory For Sale. Who’s Buying Now?”, both by Mick Raich, Vachette Pathology. (c) We started posting Board Review questions (the button is on the left hand side of the Home Page). We will organize them by category as the numbers increase. (d) The winners of our Laboratory Job email contest were Loretta Pasillas, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (California) and Anthony Sellner, Quinnipiac University (Connecticut), who each won $50. Thanks to all who signed up for our laboratory (non-pathologist) email list. (5) Thanks to the following contributors of images to these chapters: Dr. Derek Mathis and Dr. Rosemarie Rodriguez from the SAUSHEC Pathology Residency Program, San Antonio, Texas: Small Intestine - Whipple’s disease; Drs. Michael P. Orejudos and Rosemarie Rodriguez, SAUSHEC, San Antonio, Texas (USA) -Lung nontumor - CMV; Dr. Semir Vranic, University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina - Ampulla - adenocarcinoma; Angel Fernandez-Flores, MD, PhD, Hospital El Bierzo and Clinica Ponferrada, Spain, Skin-nontumor - fat necrosis (acute pancreatitis); Skin-Melanocytic tumors - junctional nevus, dermal nevus - Unna’s type, Spitz nevus.
27 October 2008: (a) We posted a new article on our Management Page - “Pathology takes another pay cut”, by Mick Raich, Vachette Pathology. (b) Our Jobs-Other page now includes Sales jobs relating to Pathology. (c) We have updated the Breast-nonmalignant chapter with new text, references and over 400 new image links. This is one of our most popular chapters (also Soft Tissue part 1, Thyroid, Ovary, Breast malignant, Kidney Tumor, Skin Tumor, CNS Tumor, Uterus, Skin nontumor, Soft Tissue part 2 and Stains), and our goal is to update these chapters at least once a year. We will try to update the remaining chapters at least every 2 years, and more frequently if possible. We will still add new Clinical Pathology topics and plan to add 1000 image links per month. (d) We are updating the Stains chapter with the most commonly used stains, in alphabetical order. We recently updated these topics: Acid Fast Bacilli, Actin-muscle specific and Alpha-1-antitrypsin. Our philosophy is to post information about stains based on published research. We do not believe it is good science to routinely combine studies of immunostains, without a thorough understanding of the methodology of the studies. Different studies often use different antibody clones, different dilutions and markedly different methods of interpretation. (e) As we update new chapters, most of the image and reference links will now open a new window, which was requested by our visitors.
