Platinum and microspherule peaks as chronostratigraphic markers for onset of the Younger Dryas at Wakulla Springs, Florida.

Anomalous peak abundances of platinum and Fe-rich microspherules with high-temperature minerals have previously been demonstrated to be a chronostratigraphic marker for the lower Younger Dryas Boundary (YDB) dating to 12.8 ka. This study used Bayesian analyses to test this hypothesis in multiple sequences (units) of sandy, weakly stratified sediments at Wakulla Springs, Florida.

Looking beyond workforce parity: addressing gender inequity in pathology.

While women pathologists have made up over one-third of pathologists in the Australian workforce for over 15 years and at least 50% since 2019, they are under-represented in senior leadership roles, scientific publications, grant recipients, editorial boards, key presentations, and professional awards. This is not unique to pathology and is seen in the broader medical and academic community. Barriers to gender equity and equality in pathology, medicine and academia include gender stereotypes, gender-based discrimination, structural and organisational barriers as well as broader social and cultural barriers.

Unusual Clinical Manifestations of Thyroid Carcinoma.

Thyroid cancer is considered the most common endocrine malignancy, with the most frequent presentation of differentiated thyroid cancer being a neck swelling or an incidental finding of a thyroid nodule on imaging. In this case series, we describe three cases of thyroid cancer with unusual clinical manifestations. The first case describes a patient who underwent parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism and was found to have papillary thyroid cancer on a cervical lymph node biopsy.

Datasets for reporting of soft-tissue sarcoma: recommendations from the International Collaboration on Cancer Reporting (ICCR).

Aims: Soft-tissue tumours are rare and both accurate diagnosis and proper treatment represent a global challenge. Current treatment guidelines also recommend review by specialised pathologists. Here we report on international consensus-based datasets for the pathology reporting of biopsy and resection specimens of soft-tissue sarcomas.

Dataset for reporting of gastrointestinal stromal tumours: recommendations from the International Collaboration on Cancer Reporting (ICCR).

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumours of the gastrointestinal tract and are among the most frequent sarcomas. Accurate diagnosis, classification, and reporting are critical for prognostication and patient management, including selection of appropriate targeted therapy. Here we report on international consensus-based datasets for the pathology reporting of biopsy and resection specimens of GIST.
