Availability and Quality of Paraffin Blocks Identified in Pathology Archives: A Multi-Institutional Study by the Shared Pathology
Background: Shared Pathology Informatics Network (SPIN) is a tissue resource initiative that utilizes clinical reports of the vast amount of paraffin-embedded tissues routinely stored by medical centers. SPIN has an informatics component (sending tissue-related queries to multiple institutions via the internet) and a service component (providing histopathologically annotated tissue specimens fo...
متن کاملMolecular Identification of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Complex in Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded Tissue Blocks of Extra Pulmonary Speciemens using Genomics Extraction
Background: Tuberculosis has been detected in some extra pulmonary ecological niches. Although extra pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is less frequent than Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB), its incidence has increased worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of EPTB and MDR-EXPT in Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue blocks among different samples in Kerma...
متن کاملComparison of Polymerase Chain Reaction, Ziehl-Neelsen Staining and Histopathologic Findings in Formalin-fixed, Paraffin-Embedded Tissue Specimens for Diagnosis of Tuberculosis
Background and Objective: Tuberculosis is still a major health problem, involving about 1/3 of the world´s population. Diagnosis is difficult when we only use Ziehl-Neelson staining. Many cases may be missed. A more rapid and sensitive diagnostic method is necessary. PCR may be helpful. The aim of this study was to compare PCR, Zieh-Neelsen staining and histopathologic findings in diagnosis of ...
متن کاملA system for sharing routine surgical pathology specimens across institutions: the Shared Pathology Informatics Network.
This report presents an overview for pathologists of the development and potential applications of a novel Web enabled system allowing indexing and retrieval of pathology specimens across multiple institutions. The system was developed through the National Cancer Institute's Shared Pathology Informatics Network program with the goal of creating a prototype system to find existing pathology spec...
متن کاملA Submission Model for Use in the Indexing, Searching, and Retrieval of Distributed Pathology Case and Tissue Specimens
This paper describes the Shared Pathology Informatics Network (SPIN) submission model for uploading de-identified XML annotations of pathology case and specimen information to a distributed peer-to-peer network architecture. SPIN use cases, architecture, and technologies, as well as pathology information design is described. With the architecture currently in use by six member institutions, SPI...
