It is with great pleasure to announce our 2023 matched residents! Congratulations and a huge welcome to the OHSU Pathology family, Graham, Ricardo, Chloe and David! David Afework, MD Ricardo Ferral, MD #ohsupathologyresidency #ohsumatch #matchday2023

Meet our 2023-2024 OHSU pathology fellows! Drs. Magallanes Hoyos and Riveros Angel will continue their education at OHSU. Drs. Gomez, Chen and Irwin, welcome! We are ecstatic to have you join our OHSU Pathology family.

In collaboration with PDXkidney, we are excited to announce a new publication "Targeted transcriptional analysis of IgA vasculitis, IgA nephropathy, and IgA dominant infection related glomerulonephritis...." journals.lww.com/kidney360/Abst…

The findings in this study include identification of transcripts in IgA vasculitis skin biopsies that may predict development of subsequent nephritis, namely S100A8/9 (calprotectin), IL9, and transcripts encoding activating Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) proteins.

Second, we demonstrate that compared with IgA nephropathy or IgA vasculitis, the immune transcriptome of IgA dominant infection related glomerulonephritis is enriched for genes involved in the innate immune response to bacterial infection.

Vacuoles are present in myeloid and erythroid precursors in this bone marrow aspirate performed for cytopenias. The Ddx is broad; this is a case of VEXAS (vacuoles, E1-ubiquitin-activating enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic) syndrome.

VEXAS is a hematologic and rheumatologic syndrome that is characterized molecularly by somatic mutations in the UBA1 gene. Patients present with a combination of autoimmune/inflammatory findings and cytopenias. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33108101/

Vacuoles in bone marrow precursors can be caused by copper deficiency, ethanol toxicity, medications, MDS, VEXAS syndrome, neutral lipid storage diseases, and Pearson syndrome. Great paper here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33690844/

We are so excited to welcome Jacob, Nora, Clarice and Elizabeth into our residency program! Congratulations and welcome to the OHSU Pathology team! #ohsupathologyresidency #ohsumatch #MatchDay2024

The WLC Award for Outstanding Mentorship of Women honors an ATVB member who has exemplified exceptional mentorship, support, and advocacy on behalf of their mentees. We couldn’t be more proud of Dr. Chen for receiving this award at #VascularDiscovery24 🫶🏽 See you in Chicago!

Thank you, OHSU Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, for the chance to present my research! 😊

We are excited to announce a mini review published in Frontiers in Nephrology in collaboration with PDXkidney titled: NELL1 Membranous Nephropathy: Clinical associations provide mechanistic clues. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

The Department of Pathology, in partnership with Health Equity, provided free HIV screening tests at the Portland Pride Festival on July 20 and 21. Dr. Vanderlene Kung and Dr. Zhengchun Lu, performed 38 on-site tests and distributed 90 at-home testing kits.
