@alfredomaldo @clarapath @MarianaDazAlmi1 @alirri Gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, proctitis, or chronic diarrhea are the most common manifestations.

Most cases with accompanying symptoms show improvement with metronidazole antibiotic therapy.

#IntestinalSpirochetosis
Routine staining methods (haematoxylin & eosin & Warthin-Starry) can identify spirochetes on the surface of enterocytes.
Histologically, characteristic findings include a decrease in microvilli &a predominantly eosinophilic inflammatory infiltrate.

FINALLY clinician’s have figured that the PSEUDOSCIENTIFIC term “squamoproliferative lesion” means nothing more than a proliferating squamous lesion 🤣
#dermpath #dermtwitter #pathtwitter #dermatologia #dermatology #dermatologist #histopathology #dermatopathology Image
Squamoproliferative lesion was invented by some hotshot pathologist pretending its a diagnostic entity, but it actually means nothing more than an unspecified and unqualified proliferating squamous “lesion”.

#dermpath #dermtwitter #pathtwitter #dermatology #dermatopathology
Viral warts, seborrhoeic keratosis, actinic keratosis, keratoacanthomas, in situ and invasive squamous carcinomas are ALL either benign, atypical or malignant “squamoproliferative lesions”
🤣🤣🤣

Hey #PathTwitter & #MedTwitter, check out Pedro Pascal transformed into Pedro Pathcal as different stains & methods in histo/cyto/pathology!

Hematoxylin, fancy name for a natural dye derived from tropical trees logwood and Brazilwood. It binds to acids (ie.DNA & RNA), turning them a lovely shade of blue or purple. It's a daily go-to in pathology labs! Check out PMID: 30001639 for a great read on its history and usage. Image
Eosin? More like "Oh, so pink!" This synthetic dye binds to all things positive in cells and ECM, highlighting muscles and connective tissues in shades of pink and red. It's a routine go-to in pathology labs along with hematoxylin! #PathMemes #LabLife Image

I suppose it’s obvious where the diagnosis is headed… ImageImageImageImage
I only did 3 stains, probably could have used just 1, but with the lack of history I guess it felt right to super-prove it . ImageImageImageImage

How does GPT-4 do in the medical domain?

I got to play around with its multimodal capabilities on some medical images!

Plus a recent Microsoft paper examined its text understanding and got SOTA results on USMLE medical exams!

A quick thread ↓
As I showed earlier, I had the chance last week to play around with GPT-4's multimodal capabilities:
I also tried some medical images too! Here I started with some histopathology. I passed in an H&E image of prostate cancer and asked GPT-4 to describe it. It knew it was an H&E image of glandular tissue but was unable to identify it as low grade prostate cancer. Image

With #USCAP2023 approaching, I have been conversing with @MSKPathology fellows about how to make the most of the meeting

Thought I would share some ideas here (thread🧵):

1. Large professional mtgs can be overwhelming & IMO, require a strategy in order to maximize gains
👇🏻 1/ Image
2. Select sessions to attend:
MAKE A PLAN! @TheUSCAP

Review the conference website: 2023am.uscap.org

Select "Schedule" under the "Program" drop-down menu for a day by day, hour by hour view #USCAP2023 👇🏻 2/ Image
3. Focus, Focus, Focus

Too many concurrent sessions at #USCAP2023 to randomly select

Residents: make ACTIVE choices - is there a subspecialty I'm considering fellowship in? is there a technology (#molecpath, #digitalpathology, #AI) that I want to learn more about? 👇🏻 3/

#COVID19 #vaccineswork #Pathtwitter one of the pathology groups affiliated with The German Center for Infection Research (DZIF) put out an autopsy study on some adults who were found to be deceased after COVID immunization. Lets analyze: link.springer.com/article/10.100….
35 deceased were analyzed and 10 were found to have obvious other causes of death, but 5 of this group were particularly concerning to the authors because those had findings of myocarditis and also died without obvious warning symptoms. This isn't the full story though.
I do like their procedure used to arrive at the histopathologic diagnosis of myocarditis (our professions gold standard criteria); that part is secure. Part of their core conclusion is the decedents died of an arrhythmia from myocarditis - this is a hard diagnosis to establish...

1) Nice illustrative example on a common issue in lung biopsy interpretation. Lung cancers are notorious for presenting with a mixture of patterns as well as invasive and non-invasive components that can make for pitfalls on sampling.

#pathtwitter #pulmpath @smlungpathguy
2) Here is an axial HRCT scan from a lesion - it shows two components - periphery of "ground glass" and a central denser area with a little bit of enhancement.
3) Now imagine two separate biopsies from this tumor; one where the needle is placed in the periphery, and one that snags that central component- likely to turn up pretty different findings.

Answer is multiple myeloma.
The image shows "INTRA-NUCLEAR INCLUSIONS" called "DUTCHER BODIES".
They are deposits of immunoglobulins. Intracytoplasmic immunoglobulin inclusions are called RUSSEL BODIES.
Seen in multiple myeloma, plasmacytoma, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL).

01/ Buckle up, everyone, it’s time for a Tweetorial. Been working on this one for a while. This time, I’ll focus on the most common mesenchymal malignancy of the digestive tract: gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). #pathology #gipath #PathTwitter
02/ GIST arises from the interstitial cells of Cajal. It can originate anywhere in the GI tract, though most cases occur in the stomach or small bowel. Rectum cases are uncommon, and GIST is very rare in the esophagus, colon, or appendix.
03/ Old terms for GIST include GANT (gastrointestinal autonomic nerve tumor) and leiomyoblastoma. These terms are no longer used, though you may run across them in older literature.
