Today we observed the coagulation lab firing on all cylinders. Mixing studies are helpful for diagnosing the lack of coag factors, which will cause a patient’s PT to decrease when mixed with normal serum. Kamran Mirza MD PhD - کامران مرزا #pathology #pathelective

Well known to be critical for organ transplants, HLA typing is also crucial for new cancer therapies that employ adoptive T-cell transfer as some TCRs are HLA-restricted. Thus, only patients w/ a specific HLA will reap the anti-cancer benefits. Kamran Mirza MD PhD - کامران مرزا #pathology #twitterhomework

APL is characterized by the accumulation of granulocytes and promyelocytes with the presence of Auer rods. Diagnosis is made via FISH indicating a 15;17 translocation with quick initiation of all-trans retinoic acid to avoid the development of DIC. Kamran Mirza MD PhD - کامران مرزا #pathology

AML is associated with a particularly poor prognosis with up to 40% having refractory disease. This is thought to be due, in part, to the high degree of heterogeneity within the disease as well as the persistence of cancer stem cells within the population.

Basophilic stippling of RBCs is characterized by basophilic granules made up of RNA and/or ribosomal proteins. They can be seen in variety of disorders including thalassemia, severe macrocytic anemia, and lead poisoning. Kamran Mirza MD PhD - کامران مرزا #pathology #pathelective #twitterhomework

“The grit in this room. “The toughness in this room. “The togetherness in this room.” Describe these Badgers in one word:

The largest study to date (N=1.13M❗️) on the prognostic value of HER2-low expression is out on JAMA Oncology. With an HR 0.98 & overlapping OS curves, HER2-low confirms not to be a relevant predictor of prognosis. Congrats to the authors for this huge analysis! jamanetwork.com/journals/jamao…
