[Impact of Facebook patient groups in the surgical decision making process: The example of Biocell® macro-textured implants recall].

Background: The use of social media, has been a major upheaval in our lifestyles in the last decade. At the forefront in the crisis of BIA-ALCL, as soon as February 2019, our university centre took steps to identify and contact all patients with macro-textured implants. The purpose of this recall was to educate patients and establish a monitoring system.

Analysis of Allergan's Biocell Implant Recall in a Major University Breast Center.

Background: In May 2019, Health Canada released a national recall of all macrotextured breast implants that later became international in July 2019 regarding increasing accounts of suspected breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma. In Canada, this recall targeted Allergan's Biocell implants. This report presents the postmortem of this comprehensive single-center recall, which had to be undertaken in a limited time.

Diagnostic histochemistry in hepatic pathology.

Histochemistry has an important, continuing role in the current assessment of hepatic biopsies and resection specimens. The evaluation of connective tissue elements in the liver can be accomplished with such methods as the Masson trichrome, Snook reticulin, Vierhoff van Gieson, orcein, and Victoria blue stains. The results contribute to the diagnosis of acute and chronic hepatitis, submassive necrosis, venous outflow obstruction, steatohepatitis, and cirrhosis.

Report and Recommendations of the Association of Pathology Chairs' Autopsy Working Group.

Autopsy has been a foundation of pathology training for many years, but hospital autopsy rates are notoriously low. At the 2014 meeting of the Association of Pathology Chairs, some pathologists suggested removing autopsy from the training curriculum of pathology residents to provide additional months for training in newer disciplines, such as molecular genetics and informatics. At the same time, the American Board of Pathology received complaints that newly hired pathologists recently certified in anatomic pathology are unable to perform an autopsy when called upon to do so.

Selective pathology fellowships: diverse, innovative, and valuable subspecialty training.

Context: Although selective pathology fellowships have a long-standing history of developing trainees with advanced expertise in specific areas of pathology other than those of the American Board of Pathology-certified subspecialties, the widespread interest in this training continues to grow.

Objective: To describe the historical background and current status of selective pathology fellowships, and to provide examples of 3 programs. In addition, Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited programs and nonaccredited programs in Selective Pathology are compared.
