Molecular Pathology:-

Image
  Introduction:- A developing field of pathology called molecular pathology is concerned with studying and diagnosing disease by looking at molecules in organs, tissues, or physiological fluids. It is multidisciplinary in character and mostly concentrates on the microscopic features of illness. Molecular and genetic approaches to the diagnosis and classification of human diseases, the design and validation of predictive biomarkers for treatment response and disease progression, and the propensity of people with different genetic make-ups to develop disorders are all included in this scientific field. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), multiplex PCR, DNA microarray, in situ hybridization, in situ RNA sequencing, DNA sequencing, antibody-based immunofluorescence tissue assays, molecular profiling of pathogens, and analysis of bacterial genes for antimicrobial resistance are just a few of the many techniques available. Molecular pathological epidemiology (MPE):- ...

WHAT IS A PATHOLOGY REPORT?

Image
  Introduction: The characteristics of a tissue specimen removed from a patient are described in a pathology report, which is often referred to as a surgical pathology report. A pathologist, a medical professional with specialised expertise in diagnosing diseases by examining cells and tissues under a microscope, creates the pathology report. A pathology report contains details on the location and methods used to retrieve the material, as well as identifying information (such as the patient's name, birthdate, and biopsy date). A final diagnosis, a microscopic description, and a gross description —a description of the material as it appears to the naked eye—are often included. It might also have a section for the pathologist's observations. Typical terms that could be found on a pathology report for cancer include: ·         Invasive ·         Non-invasive ·         ...

Pathology in Favour of Developing Countries:

Image
  Introduction: The Italian NGO " Associazione Patologi Oltre Frontiera " (APOF, "Pathologists Beyond Borders Association") proposed the creation of the Working Group (WG) "Pathology in Favour of Developing Countries" in 2010, with the goal of creating projects in developing countries that focus on anatomic pathology and fostering local preventive medicine initiatives. The APOF planned a special session for the European Congress of Pathology in Florence, Italy, the year before to present and discuss issues pertaining to the management of surgical pathology in low-resource settings. After that, the ESP made the decision to carry on and build on this experience through a working group (WG) devoted solely to these subjects. Research topic : ·         After 2015, the African Association for Research and Training in Cancer (AORTIC), a significant organisation founded in 1983 by African cancer care specialists working abroad, joined APOF as a ...

Enormous Breadth Of Liver Pathology:

Image
  Introduction: There are very few actual specialists in the subject because of the vastness of liver pathology, which would require a lifetime of study and practise to even begin to master. As a result, the goal of this chapter is not to make the reader into one of those specialists, but rather to provide a useful overview of some of the most prevalent and significant entities found in the field of paediatric liver pathology. The two main categories of liver pathology are neoplastic liver and nonneoplastic, or medical, liver. The majority of samples examined under a pathologist's microscope are neoplastic, but it goes without saying that liver tumours and a timely identification of one can significantly alter a child's and their family's quality of life. Last but not least, the practise of liver pathology is one of the branches of pathology that significantly relies on the opinions of the multidisciplinary group, which includes hepatologists, radiologists, surgeons, an...

Breast Pathology:

  Breast Pathology: The materials taken from your breast biopsy were examined under a microscope by a pathologist, a qualified physician with years of training. Your doctor receives a report from the pathologist that includes a diagnosis for each sample that was used. This report's information will be utilised to manage your care. The information provided here is aimed to make medical terms used in breast biopsy pathology reports, such as needle biopsy and excision biopsy, more understandable. There are numerous varieties of breast cancer, and it's crucial to correctly diagnose each one in order to choose the right course of action. The two major, encompassing groups of breast malignancies are carcinomas and sarcomas. Cancers called carcinomas develop from the breast's epithelial tissue. The cells that line the lobules and terminal ducts make up the epithelial component, which is responsible for producing milk under typical circumstances. The majority of breast ca...

A Forensic Pathologist: What Is It?

Image
  A Forensic Pathologist: What Is It? An expert in pathology who specialises in forensics , forensic pathologists examine people who pass away abruptly, unexpectedly, or brutally. An expert in assessing the cause and manner of death is a forensic pathologist. The forensic pathologist has received specialised training in performing autopsies to determine whether or not there was disease, injury, or poisoning; analysing historical and law enforcement investigative data pertaining to manner of death; gathering medical evidence, such as trace evidence and secretions, to document sexual assault; and reconstructing how a person sustained injuries. Training: In addition to conventional medicine, forensic pathologists receive training in a variety of forensic disciplines. Toxicology, guns examination (wound ballistics), trace evidence, forensic serology, and DNA technology are additional scientific fields that the forensic pathologist needs to be familiar with. The forensic path...
