Article Synopsis
- * In September 2023, researchers detected a significant seismic signal from East Greenland that corresponded to a rock-ice avalanche leading to a tsunami in Dickson Fjord.
- * The study reveals that the tsunami transformed into a 7-meter-high long-duration seiche, demonstrating the interplay between glacial melting and geological hazards, emphasizing the dangerous effects of climate change on these environments.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates using a dual marker panel of PRAME and HMB-45 to improve the diagnosis of melanoma versus benign melanocytic tumors.
- The research involved analyzing 259 tumors, including benign nevi, dysplastic nevi, and malignant melanomas, using experienced dermatopathologists and scoring the immunohistochemical staining results.
- Results showed that PRAME had high sensitivity and specificity for distinguishing melanomas, while HMB-45 was less reliable, suggesting that combining these markers could enhance diagnostic accuracy for pathologists.
Aims: Even though extensive melanoma sentinel node (SN) pathology protocols increase metastasis detection, there is a need for balancing high detection rates with reasonable workload. A newly tested Danish protocol recommended examining nodes at six levels 150 µm apart (six-level model) and using SOX10 and Melan-A immunohistochemistry (IHC). We explored if a protocol examining 3 levels 300 µm apart (three-level model) combined with IHC would compromise metastasis detection.

In 2020/21, the four pathology departments in the Region of Southern Denmark implemented digital pathology for all histologic samples. Going digital necessitated optimisation of workflows and training of pathologists, avoiding a reduction in diagnostic quality.
