Regulatory Forum Opinion Piece*: An Experienced Pathologist Should Be Present at Necropsy for Novel Medical Device Studies.

Toxicol Pathol

Published: January 2016

Necropsies conducted to support medical device development may be conducted in facilities that do not have the infrastructure in place to support Good Laboratory Practice for Nonclinical Laboratory Studies (GLP) studies and for a variety of reasons they may be conducted without a pathologist present at necropsy. However, when a novel medical device or one that is expected to significantly alter tissues is deployed, or when the surgical model confounds interpretation of device effects, it is the opinion of the authors that an experienced pathologist should be present at necropsy.

Technical Note: Application of Luminol and Leucomalachite Green Tests to Wischnewsky Spots After Formalin Fixation.

Am J Forensic Med Pathol

January 2025

From the Section of Legal Medicine, Department of Social Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Miyazaki, Miyazaki, Japan.

Wischnewsky spots are disseminated, dark lesions in gastric mucosa reflecting hemorrhage associated with fatal hypothermia, and are a phenomenon well known to forensic pathologists. We applied luminol and leucomalachite green tests to formalin-fixed gastric mucosa with Wischnewsky spots in autopsy cases of hypothermia. Both luminol and leucomalachite green tests showed positive reactions.

Pathology has benefited from the rapid progress of image-digitizing technology during the last decade. However, the application of digital whole slide images (WSI) in forensic pathology still needs to be improved. WSI validation is crucial to ensure diagnostic performance, at least equivalent to glass slides and light microscopy.
