The annual amount ofthe contract will be $100,000, including up to 120 Coroner cases. BACKGROUND In February 2003 Placer County updated the services provided to Nevada County to include pathology services in addition to morgue services. Our current contract has been modified to include services related to organ and/or tissue recovery and crime scene response. Placer County continues to employ Dr. Henrickson as a contract employee to perform coroner's services in addition to having supporting contracts for Pathology and Diener (morgue assistant) services. This contract continues to allow us to maximize the efficiency ofthese operations. Nevada County pays $100,000 annually for these services with the'understanding that services to Placer County take precedence over those ofother jurisdictions.

This information serves as the foundation for understanding normal functions of the head, neck and oral structures as well as disorders related to those structures. General Information Course Director: Venkatesh Nonabur Office: D2-32 Email: [email protected] Phone: (352) 273-9393 Course Credits: 4 Semester: Fall Contributing Faculty Kyle E Rarey (352) 273-5753 [email protected] II. Course Goals The goal of this course is to introduce the basic principles and facts relating to gross anatomy of the human body, with emphasis on the head and neck. Knowledge in the anatomical sciences and functional relationships of the body is foundational in the development of competencies for the new dental graduate. Through the designed learning experiences and course assignments the student will be able to 1. Identify vessels, nerves, muscles, bones and organs of the human body as well as identify specific cells and microanatomical structures in the structural tissues of the body. 2. Describe the relationship of vessels, nerves, muscles, bones and organs to each other. 3. Demonstrate how the body functions in health. 4. Differentiate how the body functions are altered in disease. 5. Interpret how different insults or injuries effect the body. 6. Relate the anatomical complex of the head and neck to other systemic body functions. 7. Given a clinical correlation, identify the anatomical landmarks important in understanding normal function. 8.

  • Formalin Pre-Fixation Improves Autopsy Histology
    Short Communication Formalin pre-fixation improves autopsy histology Jennifer Vazzano1 , William Sinclair1 , Bradley Zehr1 , Patricia Allenby1 How to cite: Vazzano J, Sinclair W, Zehr B, Allenby P. Formalin pre-fixation improves autopsy histology. Autops Case Rep [Internet]. 2021;11:e2021291. https://doi.org/10.4322/acr.2021.291 ABSTRACT Microscopic findings in key tissues are often critical to determine the cause of death in medical autopsies. The overall quality of histologic sections depends on numerous pre-analytic factors, among which are tissue section size and thickness. We designed a prospective quality improvement study to determine whether a simple intervention of formalin pre-fixation of myocardium, liver, and kidney tissues could improve the ease of cutting and quality of autopsy histologic sections as assessed by histotechnicians and pathologists. Of 46 autopsies included in the study, 21 were randomly assigned to formalin pre-fixation, and 25 underwent routine sectioning without formalin pre-fixation. A significant improvement in overall quality score by histotechnicians was detected in the sections from pre-fixed autopsy tissues compared to the control group (p=0.0327). There was no significant difference in quality score between the two groups as assessed by pathologists. Our autopsy quality improvement study demonstrates that a simple, low-cost intervention of formalin pre- fixation of fresh autopsy tissues for 90 minutes could significantly improve the overall quality of sections submitted for histologic processing. Keywords Pathology; Histology; Autopsy; Quality Improvement; Tissue Fixation INTRODUCTION The primary goal of a medical autopsy is to collect thickness and size of the tissue sections submitted for and analyze clinical and pathologic data to determine histologic processing.2 the likeliest cause of death and contributing factors.

This began under the direction of the late Dr. C. H. Kennedy, professor of Entomology, the Ohio State University, in his course on Insect anatomy. Professor Kennedy was Impressed with the minute detail with which the tracheation could be traced since this insect was so small. It was his interest and encouragement which prompted the writer to continue this work beyond the course and later to expand it into the more complete study embodied in this dissertation. The writer is grateful to the late professor Kennedy for his part in providing the original encouragement for this study. The writer wishes also to express his sincere gratitude to Dr. Donald J.
