Exploring the Impact and Prospects of Social Media in Advancing Pediatric Pathology.

Social media has been recently highlighted as a unique and modern virtual force that allows for worldwide connection, collaboration, communication, and engagement between pathologists, trainees, and medical students. Much literature has been focused on the role of social media in recruitment and medical education practices of different pathology subspecialties, such as dermatopathology and hematopathology. However, current literature on pathology social media's status and potential future roles in promoting pediatric pathology is sparse.

Sensitization of osteosarcoma to irradiation by targeting nuclear FGFR1.

Over the past 25 years, chemotherapy regimens for osteosarcoma have failed to improve the 65-70% long-term survival rate. Radiation therapy is generally ineffective except for palliative care. We here investigated whether osteosarcoma can be sensitized to radiation therapy targeting specific molecules in osteosarcoma.

Unusual appearance of an adrenal ganglioneuroma.

Ganglioneuromas are rare tumors that occur spontaneously or arise from a poorly differentiated neuroblastic tumor. Although they are typically described in the pediatric population, they can occur in adults. Ganglioneuromas are often discovered incidentally and their typical imaging appearance, although non-specific, is that of a well-defined solid mass.

Gleason grading challenges in the diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma: experience of a single institution.

Gleason score (GS) is an important factor in determining management and outcome of prostate adenocarcinoma. A standard GS scheme was introduced by ISUP 2005 consensus conference, but there is still significant discordance in grading prostate adenocarcinomas among pathologists, especially between genitourinary-trained (GU) and non-GU pathologists. All biopsies from outside institutions referred for definitive treatment in our hospital are reviewed by a GU pathologist for confirmation and quality assurance.
