The role of multidisciplinary team meeting histopathology review and its impact on revised reports: Analysis of a national quality improvement program
CONCLUSIONS: The multidisciplinary team meeting review process plays a valuable role in pathology error detection. A pathologist's participation in the review process comes with a clinically significant workload that needs to be recognized for future workforce planning. This study highlighted the positive role pathologists play in enhancing patient safety.PMID:38330196 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqad183 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)

Measuring the performance of an artificial intelligence-based robot that classifies blood tubes and performs quality control in terms of preanalytical errors: A preliminary study
CONCLUSIONS: KANKA categorizes and records problem-free tubes according to laboratory subunits while identifying and classifying tubes with preanalytical inappropriateness into the correct error sections. As a blood acceptance and tube sorting system, KANKA has the potential to save labor and enhance the quality of the preanalytical process.PMID:38284629 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqad179 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)

Current gross examination and reporting patterns of post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy cystectomy specimens: Is it time for a standardized approach?
CONCLUSIONS: With the increased use of NACT, lack of any gross lesion leads to inconsistent gross examination techniques. This study provides insight into the current approach to examination of post-NACT cystectomies and suggests that a desire exists among pathologists and pathologists' assistants for more standardized practice.PMID:38240078 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqad176 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)

Clinical and pathologic features of Sturge-Weber syndrome in patients with refractory epilepsy
CONCLUSIONS: Calcification of leptomeningeal arteries, focal cortical dysplasia, and GNAQ alteration are common features in SWS pathology. Patients with refractory epilepsy caused by SWS can achieve satisfactory seizure control after surgery, but seizure control was compromised in patients with comorbid HS.PMID:38217527 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqad174 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)
