All organizations are subject to risk and uncertainty. Adverse events may disrupt normal organizational activity and may even cause complete failure of business operations. Biorepositories are also at risk and there have been instances where multiple samples or entire collections have been destroyed. Biobank guidelines accordingly recommend the establishment of contingency plans to reduce risk to an acceptable level. In this review article, we will use general theory on risk management and illustrate ...

To improve quality, pathology organizations have published guidelines with key parameters for histopathology reporting on cancer resections. Checklists or structured templates improve upon the presence of key parameters in histopathology reports, but data are lacking on long-term sustainability of such reporting. From 2003 to 2006, the Cancer Registry of Norway and the Norwegian Society of Pathology collaborated on the development of a structured electronic template for histopathology reporting ...

Stakeholders are individuals, groups, or organizations that are affected by or can affect a particular action undertaken by others. Biobanks relate to a number of donors, researchers, research institutions, regulatory bodies, funders, and others. These stakeholders can potentially have a strong influence upon the organization and operation of a biobank. A sound strategy for stakeholder engagement is considered essential in project management and organization theory. In this article, we review relevant ...

Complete and accurate histopathology reports are fundamental in providing quality cancer care. The Cancer Registry of Norway and the Norwegian Society of Pathology have previously developed a national electronic template for histopathology reporting on colorectal carcinoma resection specimens. The present study was undertaken to investigate (1) whether quality routines in Norwegian pathology laboratories might affect completeness of such histopathology reports and (2) whether the national electronic ...

Both individual patient treatment and cancer registries depend on adequate histopathology reports. To ensure the quality of these reports, professional organizations have published guidelines on minimum data sets for various cancer types. Norway has a population of 4.6 million, and all individuals have a unique identification number. As required by law, relevant information on cancer is submitted to the Cancer Registry of Norway. A closed, national health data network has been established facilitating ...

We have evaluated quantitatively the whisker barrel field (posteromedial barrel subfield, PMBSF) size in rats raised in standard cages and in rats chronically exposed to an enriched sensory environment. Some animals were subjected to either chronic trimming of the right whiskers, or permanent transection of the right infraorbital nerve. Coronal brain sections were Nissl-stained or reacted for cytochrome oxidase. All, except the IoN-transected rats, showed +/-5% variation in mean PMBSF thickness, with ...

Anterograde transneuronal degeneration is caused by the loss of afferent input to the nerve cells and may occur in a number of neuronal systems. Transection of the adult spinal cord, causing anterograde transneuronal degeneration in ventral horn neurons, distal to the lesion, has been reported by some authors, while others contend that no such changes take place. The present study was undertaken in order to investigate whether transection of adult mouse thoracic spinal cord induces neuronal death ...

Abstract The total numbers of neurons and glial and endothelial cells in five rat spinal cords were estimated by stereological techniques. Each spinal cord was divided into 12 slabs of equal length. One transverse and one oblique slice was cut from each slab. The volumes of gray and white matter of each cord were then estimated by point‐counting techniques on the transverse slices. By means of optical disectors and systematic sampling, the numerical densities of different cell types were estimated ...

By means of stereological techniques such as the optical disector, the total number of cells in the spinal cords of five albino mice were estimated. The mean number of cells in the gray and the white matter was 9.0 and 4.1 million, respectively. Of the cells in the gray matter, 4.0 million were classified as neurons, 2.8 million as glial and 1.7 million as endothelial cells whereas 0.4 million remained unclassified. Of the neurons in the gray matter, 1.2 million were located in the cervical region, ...

Dialyzed and dehydrated human urine and purified Tamm-Horsfall's glycoprotein revealed similar morphology by scanning electron microscopy. Single filaments, with diameters between 15-45 nm, splitting off and merging with thicker fibers at irregular intervals made up a three-dimensional meshwork with submicrometer pores. The resulting "fishing net" is capable of trapping microorganisms and may facilitate their elimination from the urinary tract by micturition. Tamm-Horsfall's glycoprotein may accordingly ...

Whisker trimming deprives the cortical barrel field from the patterned sensory input that derives from active touch but leaves passive tactile signals unaltered. We have studied in the rat barrel field, by stereological procedures, the effects of a sustained period of unilateral deprivation by whisker clipping during adolescence and early adulthood on (1) the surface density (SV) of asymmetric synapses, as determined from measuring the presynaptic membrane specializations, and (2) the numerical density ...

Male, adult Wistar rats were exposed to 500 μg/m 3 mercury vapor 6 h per day, 5 days a week for 4 wk. They were subsequently killed by transcardial perfusion. The molars were extracted, demineralized, and embedded in resin before section‐ing. Autometallographic development was performed according to the method of D anscher & M öller ‐M adsen . Mercury deposits were found in small amounts in several areas of the pulp, but with larger accumulations of grains in relation to odontoblasts. Mercury also could ...

The information contained in histopathology reports on surgical resections of cancer is fundamental for both patient treatment and cancer registries. Electronic synoptic histopathology reporting is considered superior to traditional narrative reporting with respect to both completeness and feasibility of data use. An electronic template for colorectal cancer reporting was introduced in Norway in 2005, but implementation has varied greatly between different pathology departments. In 2012, four pathology ...

In order to succeed in realising general health-policy goals for cancer care, they must be formulated as specific and realistic objectives. An administrative organ must be provided with the authority and funding needed to establish the technical solutions required. Reporting to national registries must take place automatically in electronic form, on the basis of ongoing structured reporting in the patient records. In our opinion the Directorate of Health should enter into cooperation with the College ...

Since the multi-institutional quality study on pathology reporting of colorectal cancer published by Zarbo in 1992,1 many other studies have shown that the use of checklists or synoptic reporting is superior to traditional narrative (free text) reporting.2–4 Using electronic health records, synoptic histopathology reporting tools ...

Seventy-two mice were used to find out which of 13 vascular perfusion procedures gave best structural preservation of the spinal cord ependyma and central canal lumen. Best results were obtained by 3% glutaraldehyde in Tyrodes solution with 50% of normal NaCl amount, 0.06 M sucrose and 2% dextran T-40 (556 mOsmol, pH 7.2, 0-4 degrees C). This was perfused by a peristaltic pump at 40 ml/min for 10 min through a cannula inserted in the ascending aorta. No advantage was seen by heparin pretreatment ...
