( Pathos= suffering; ologos = study) Pathology consists of two major subdivisions. 1. ANATOMIC PATHOLOGY (AP) This covers surgical pathology, cytopathology, and autopsy pathology. 2. CLINICAL PATHOLOGY (CP) This deals with analyses of body fluids and tissues and involves various disciplines of microbiology, serology, clinical chemistry, hematology, transfusion medicine, cytogenetics, etc. General and systemic pathology (AP) and clinical laboratory sciences (CLS) will be taught throughout the year. General pathology emphasizes cellular and molecular biology, biochemistry, and immunology as they relate to the pathogenesis of disease. Systemic pathology deals with diseases of various “organs and systems”. The clinical laboratory sciences (CLS) course deals with laboratory medicine involving lab testing. It is that branch of clinical pathology that applies scientific laboratory methods relevant to patient care, health promotion and disease prevention. The three pillars of evidence-based medicine are: A. What are the results? B. Are the results valid? C. How are the results applicable to patient care? The CLS course will attempt to answer the above utilizing a clinical “case format”. The significance and implications of lab testing, frequency of tests, turn-around-time (TAT), limitations of lab data, quality control and cost effectiveness will be discussed. The overall approach is to emphasize Lab Testing and how it relates to CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT. RECOMMENDED TEXTBOOKS 1. Robbins and Cotran Pathologic Basis of Disease by Kumar, Abbas, and Aster , 9th edition (2014) with student consult online access - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. 2. Robbins Basic Pathology by Kumar, Abbas, Aster, 9th edition. For the CLS course: - NEED NOT PURCHASE 1. Henry’s Clinical Diagnosis and Management by Laboratory Methods by McPherson and Pincus, 22nd edition, Saunders Publishing Company 2. Interpretation of Diagnostic Tests by Jacques Wallach, M.D., 8th edition, Lippincott, Williams, and Wilkins Publishers (cost about $65.00). Pathology M-2 – Introduction Page 3 3. Widmann’s Clinical Interpretation of Lab Tests, 11th edition, by Ronald Sacher, M.D., and Richard McPherson, M.D. EXAMINATIONS There will be eight interim ( part of integrated exams.) and one final examination. The interim examinations are generated within the department; the final examination is the NBME subject (shelf) examination in pathology supplied and scored by the National Board of Medical Examiners. Note that the NBME reports a percent correct score along with a scaled score. It is this percent correct score that will be used in the final weighting described below. All the questions on the interim exams are multiple choice. There are approximately 80 questions on Foundations integrated examination 1, and roughly 4 questions per teaching/learning session on the other exams. for a total of about 315 MCQs. These numbers are subject to change as thought appropriate by the faculty. Questions on the laboratory sessions will be incorporated as pictures (images) into the examination when applicable. Each of the interim examinations will be weighted in proportion to the number of questions on that examination. Together the interim examinations will constitute 75%, and the final examination (shelf exam – 125 multiple choice questions) 25% of the total weighted score. Should a student fail to achieve a minimum passing level (MPL) for the examination series, the M-2 guidelines as determined by the Office of Student Affairs (including remedial work and a make-up or retake examination) will be followed. The pathology department reserves the right to determine the type of make-up examination. GRADES issued are as follows: O (outstanding- % score is more than 1 SD above the mean) S (satisfactory- % score is 60 or more but within 1SD above the mean) US (unsatisfactory - % score is below 60) NOTE: UI COM HAS IMPLEMENTED A “FLOATING MPL” SYSTEM DETAILS OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE OFFICE OF ACADEMIC AFFAIRS. SUFFICE TO SAY THAT THE MPL WILL BE CLOSE TO 60% WITH A RANGE OF 60 – 65%. Please note that: 1. Students undergoing remediation must take and pass the pathology make-up exam before being allowed further progress in their academic work. 2. The pathology make-up exam will be scheduled on Wed. May 20th 2015 (exact time, place, and type of exam. will be announced later). 3. Delays will not be permitted. Extenuating circumstances will be considered by the Pathology Department on a case by case basis. If you have any questions regarding the curriculum, the course, or the examinations, do not hesitate to contact Dr. Gregory Freund, Head, Department of Pathology, Dr. Steve Nandkumar, Pathology Course Director and Coordinator, or Lindsey Burnett PhD, Pathology Teaching Assistant. Faculty Department of Pathology “Be not the first by whom the new are tried Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.” Alexander Pope Page 4 Pathology M-2 Introduction UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS COLLEGE OF MEDICINE Department of Pathology At Urbana-Champaign 190 Medical Sciences Building (MC-714) 506 S Mathews Urbana, IL 61801 August 2014 Dear Second Year Medical Students: Congratulations on successfully completing the M-1 year and welcome to the M-2 year! As your teaching assistant for Pathology, I will set up teaching sessions and office hours for all M-2 students. Although the sessions are not mandatory, they are highly recommended. The time for our meetings will be determined after school begins and may vary from week to week as we try to find times that work with both your schedules and mine. Most students find pathology to be the most challenging course they have taken so far in medical school. The course content is large and you are required to know the material at a surprising level of detail. I will be providing practice questions, and I hope to take away some of the stress of wondering what the level of questioning will be like. As far as book resources go, the recommended book for the course is “Big” Robbins (Pathologic Basis of Disease; ISBN 978-1-4557-2613-4). Take care not to confuse this book with “Baby” Robins (Basic Pathology; ISBN 978- 1-4377-1781-5), which is smaller because it removes all of the explanatory text and is often much more difficult to understand than “Big” Robbins. Robbins Review of Pathology (ISBN 0721682596) is a question book that I found to be almost indispensable when I took the course. Past students have also recommended Pretest Pathology. You don’t need to buy them as long as you don’t mind sharing the library copies. I think the questions in these books may be a little harder than a typical exam question, but they are representative of the level of difficulty of questions on the NBME pathology shelf-exam that you will take in the spring. Q banks from Kaplan and USMLE World are useful. There are various pathology resources available on the internet. One that I found to be particularly useful was Webpath (http://www-medlib.med.utah.edu/WebPath/webpath.html). This site features images and a large set of review questions. Also, the GRIPE website http://peir.net is available for viewing digitized images. One final note on books: BRS Pathology is a quick review book for USMLE or for organizing your thoughts, but the level of detail in this book may not be sufficient for you to pass the pathology course. Please feel free to contact me by e-mail ([email protected]) with any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions as the year goes by. Lindsey Burnett PhD GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Department of Pathology ( please visit the COM M2 web site and go to learning objectives;this password protected site will give you the lecture titles and their corresponding objectives, compiled by pathology faculty members at all four sites) Pathology Course Goals and Objectives By the end of the course, successful students will achieve the level of competence expected of a medical student completing the M2 year, studying for USMLE Step 1, and preparing for the M3 year and patient care responsibilities through the following broad goals and objectives. Specific learning objectives for large and small groups are included at the time of each section. Students will be expected to: Medical Knowledge: • Demonstrate an investigative and analytic approach to clinical and pathological problems. (See “introduction to pathology” in chapter 1 in the latest edition of Robbins and Cotran).

    Hematology 432 Hematology Team Done By: Roqaih Al-Dueb & Othman Al-Mutairi & Ibrahim Abunohaiah Color Index: Female notes are in Green. Male notes are in Blue. Red is important. Orange is explanation. 432HematologyTeam PRACTICAL HAEMATOLOGY Practical Haemaglobinopathy Introduction to Haemoglobin Variants: Hemoglobin variants are mutant forms of hemoglobin, caused by genetical variation. Some well-known hemoglobin variants such as Hb S are responsible for sickle cell anemia which is one of the hemoglobinopathies. And some are undetectable non-pathological variats. Some normal hemoglobin types are; Hemoglobin A (Hb A) which constitute 95-98% of hemoglobin found in adults, Hemoglobin A2 (Hb A2), which consitiute 2-3% of hemoglobin found in adults, and Hemoglobin F (Hb F) which is the fetal Hb. Effects of Haemoglobin variants: Variant Clinical and haematological abnormalities Recurrent painful crises (in adults) and chronic haemolytic HbS anaemia; both related to sickling of red cells on deoxygenation* Chronic haemolytic anaemia due to reduced red cell HbC deformability on deoxygenation, * deoxygenated HbC is less soluble than deoxygenated HbA. Spontaneous or drug-induced haemolytic anaemia due to Hb Köln, instability of the Hb and consequent intracellular Hb Hammersmith precipitation. HbM Boston, Cyanosis due to congenital methaemoglobinaemia as a HbM Saskatoon consequence of a substitution near or in the haem pocket. Hb Chesapeake Hereditary polycythaemia due to increased O2 affinity. Hb Constant Spring, Thalassaemia-like syndrome due to decreased rate of Hb Lepore, HbE synthesis of normal chains. Thalassaemia-like syndrome due to marked instability of Hb Indianapolis Hb * Only in homozygotes All of these have similar features (hemolytic anemia – target cells – spleenomegaly – trait usually asymptomatic or mild symptomatic – if the disease combined with another abnormal Hb, the patient will present with sever hemolytic anemia).

  • Pathology Course
    Pathology Course Kindly Sponsored by: Edited by: Michelle Kunc, Jhia Teh, Sally Barker and Yvonne Tsitsiou 1 Introduction The Medical Education Society (MedED) was established in 2004 by three students who were keen to develop schemes whereby senior students tutor younger ones - ‘peer-to- peer’ learning. It was decided that teaching would be outside the formal curriculum and the topics covered would reflect learning needs identified by members of the society and student body. This year we have coordinated PACES and Pathology revision courses, which are being delivered by past ICSM students. We hope you enjoy our Year 5 events and find their content useful for your revision. We would like to thank all the doctors involved in the production of this guide for their support and for taking time out of the schedules to come back and teach us. We would also like to thank the previous MedED guide editors: • 2016-2017: Daniel Campioni-Norman, Rhys Smith, Helen-Cara Younan and Rebekah Judge • 2017-2018: Charlie Caird, Stephanie EzeKwe, Mohammad Fallaha, Samyukta Sundar • 2018-2019: Sophia von Widekind, Lasith Ranasinghe, Daniel Huddart, Alex Huddart If you have any questions please contact us at [email protected]. Please note: MedED does not represent the ICSM Faculty or Student Union. This guide has been produced by students and the Pathology Course lecturers. We have made every effort to ensure that the following information is accurate and reliable. However, this guide should not be used to replace formal ICSM teaching and education

Five samples were distributed for each test category: Routine Blood Counts (B56, B57, B58, B59, B60) Routine Coagulation (C56, C57, C58, C59, C60 - APTT, PT/INR and Fibrinogen assays) Cell Identification (356, 357, 358, 359, 360) Evaluation of Proficiency Test Results: Note: This report includes evaluation of the International Normalized Ratio (INR). Outlined below is a description of the process used to evaluate your laboratory's proficiency test results. A summary of your laboratory's performance for the three most recent surveys is also included with this report. Target Value: When possible, targets utilized are derived from all-participant mean values calculated by a robust statistical technique. In some cases, however, it is recognized that reagent, and/or instrument specific targets may be required and "peer group" specific targets are used where appropriate. An asterisk placed adjacent to the manufacturer name or instrument name indicates that a peer group was used in establishing targets and acceptable ranges. Not Gradable: Results for graded analytes for a few laboratories using unique instrument, reagent, or instrument/reagent combinations were considered "not gradable". For these laboratories pass credit (100%) has been issued. Since the laboratory is unable to participate in the NYS hematology proficiency test event as a graded participant, it is the responsibility of the laboratory to establish alternate means to verify the accuracy and precision of the test system for any ungraded analyte(s).
