Original pathology- and lab medicine-related resources

verything in this section is free for noncommercial use, unless otherwise stated.

HTML documents

is a narrative account of a routine autopsy for the use of novelists and screenwriters. I have gone into great detail as to sights, smells, and character sketches ["The classic Usenet FAQ for screenwriters" --

, 12/15/97] 27K.

is is photo gallery and glossary of the instruments used by prosectors in performing autopsies.

is an encyclopedic resource aimed at health professionals. It lists the major routine clinical lab tests offered in a chemistry profile and complete blood count and gives many of the diagnostic possibilities for abnormal values of each.

is an introduction to photography in general and is aimed at junior pathology residents who are confronted for the first time with having to take gross photographs of specimens. There are also a few links to other good photography Web resources.

is a companion piece to my sophomore med student lecture covering Lyme disease, non-venereal treponematoses, plague, cholera, typhus, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, rickettsialpox, and ehrlichiosis, with extensive historical notes.

is a companion to an introductory lecture on the subject for medical students. It is very basic.

is something I put together in response to all the folks who have written me about their desire to look into a career in forensic pathology. Be warned: these are my opinions only. You may also wish to check out the Web site of the .

is a patient education piece for those who would like to try their hand at understanding their biopsy report. It deals with types of biopsies, tissue processing and examination, and gross and microscopic descriptions. It also has a glossary of pathologic terms.

is a brief piece on how to get a good smear and minimize the number of smears unnecessarily classified as atypical. This is aimed at gynecologists, primary care physicians, midwives, nurses, and others who collect Paps.

The Red Cell and Anemia is a series of 5 HTML documents. For the downloadable .PDF version see below.

  1. is an illustrated introduction to the types of human blood cells and their assessment with the routine complete blood count (CBC). This is part 1 (of 5) of "The Red Cell and Anemia" (see below) but includes photomicrographs.

  2. is the HTML version of part 2 of "The Red Cell and Anemia."

  3. is the HTML version of part 3 of "The Red Cell and Anemia." Included are iron, folate, and B 12 deficiencies.

  4. is the HTML version of part 4 of "The Red Cell and Anemia."

  5. is the HTML version of part 5 (and last) of "The Red Cell and Anemia." It covers sickle cell disease, hemoglobins C and E, and alpha- and beta-thalassemias.

, by (artwork and layout by me) consists of two flow charts that attempt to impose some order on the cacophony of cluster designators used in the diagnostic evaluation of lymphomas and leukemias. This is aimed at pathology residents, general pathologists, and flow cytometry lab staffers.

, my first book, is now available in hardback and paper. The publisher has graciously allowed me to post the full text of Chapter 1 online. You can access it through the book outline at this link.

. Did 20th century health care help modern presidents live longer than their 19th century counterparts? You may be surprised.

is a simple table that lists, in descending order of abundance, all 59 chemical elements present in measurable amounts in the human body. For each element, the table shows 1) the weight of element present in a 70-kilogram person, 2) the volume occupied by that much of the purified element, and 3) how big a cube made up of that quantity of purified element would be.

.PDF documents

is a companion to a sophomore med student lecture I give on this subject. It is 51 pages long, 19000 words, and has line drawings and tables. It is just about everything you would need to teach red cell diseases to med students and medical technology students. 228K.

, co-written with my wife, , is a lecture syllabus covering granulomatous lymphadenitis (fungal and bacterial), cat scratch disease, toxoplasmosis, Epstein-Barr virus (including infectious mononucleosis, Burkitt's lymphoma, and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder), visceral leishmaniasis, malaria, lymphatic filariasis, parvovirus B19, HTLV-1, and a little bit on HIV. 11 pages, 4200 words, 34K.

is the syllabus for a lecture on bacterial sepsis aimed at second-year medical students. 8 pages, 3300 words, 27K.

is much more than that. Written by my erudite partner, Gerry del Junco, MD, this 73-page formatted document is the ultimate pathology Board-review resource in intestinal pathology. Just add photos, and you've got the equivalent of a $200 subspecialty textbook for free (non-commercial use only, please). This is the 2002 revision. 393K.

is a weighted scoring form for reporting QA case reviews in surgical pathology. Every case starts with a "zero" score and gets points deducted for various deficiencies. Guidelines are given for how many points to deduct for each peccadillo. There is also a of this 8K file in format, for those who wish to edit it.

is a printed companion for a talk I gave to the Texas Society of Pathologists Young Pathologists Section in 2012. These are my thoughts on how to approach the job of serving as a clinical laboratory medical director.

is an algorithm for working up parturient mothers for treatment with Rh(D)-immune globulin (RhoGam). This is used to prevent hemolytic disease of the newborn in subsequent pregnancies in Rh(D)-negative women.

is a one-page crib sheet covering salient points in the pre-history of our species, from our divergence from the ancestors of the chimpanzee to about 12,000 years ago, when Homo sapiens was left as the sole hominin on the planet.

This is a collection of specimen images that I have released into the public domain. The index page is

The image files are all JPEG with longest dimension between 550 and 650 pixels.

Since my ISP limits my space here severely, I have begun to add specimen images to a . The images there have much higher resolution than those here.

Other binary files

is a downloadable archive containing my spreadsheet for calculating normal ranges of placental weights and plotting an individual patient's placental weight on the resulting nomogram. The spreadsheet can be modified with your institution's logo and your personal signature line by anyone who has a bit of working knowledge of . There are two files in the archive. PLACENTA.XLS is the spreadsheet template itself, and PLACDOC.TXT is documentation on how to use the spreadsheet. Public domain, 15K.

(version 2.1) is a Microsoft Excel worksheet that accepts up to 1000 numerical datapoints, calculates descriptive statistics of the sample, collates the data into a user- specified number of groups, and draws a histogram of the grouped data. It can also accept user-specified exclusion criteria, allowing outliers to be filtered out of the dataset before the histogram is constructed. I developed it as an aid to determine lab test reference ranges. This is a Stuffit archive containing the spreadsheet, GROUPER.XLS, and the documentation, GROUPER.TXT. Public domain, 56K.

is a PowerPoint presentation on pathology as a career, comparing the world of academic pathology with that of private practice. This will be pretty obscure for anyone who is not fascinated by scientific names of biological species. You have been warned. 44K.

, co-written with my wife, , is a lecture syllabus covering granulomatous lymphadenitis (fungal and bacterial), cat scratch disease, toxoplasmosis, Epstein-Barr virus (including infectious mononucleosis, Burkitt's lymphoma, and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder), visceral leishmaniasis, malaria, lymphatic filariasis, parvovirus B19, HTLV-1, and a little bit on HIV. 11 pages, 4200 words, 34K.

is the syllabus for a lecture on bacterial sepsis aimed at second-year medical students. 8 pages, 3300 words, 27K.

is much more than that. Written by my erudite partner, Gerry del Junco, MD, this 73-page formatted document is the ultimate pathology Board-review resource in intestinal pathology. Just add photos, and you've got the equivalent of a $200 subspecialty textbook for free (non-commercial use only, please). This is the 2002 revision. 393K.

is a weighted scoring form for reporting QA case reviews in surgical pathology. Every case starts with a "zero" score and gets points deducted for various deficiencies. Guidelines are given for how many points to deduct for each peccadillo. There is also a of this 8K file in format, for those who wish to edit it.

is a printed companion for a talk I gave to the Texas Society of Pathologists Young Pathologists Section in 2012. These are my thoughts on how to approach the job of serving as a clinical laboratory medical director.

is an algorithm for working up parturient mothers for treatment with Rh(D)-immune globulin (RhoGam). This is used to prevent hemolytic disease of the newborn in subsequent pregnancies in Rh(D)-negative women.

is a one-page crib sheet covering salient points in the pre-history of our species, from our divergence from the ancestors of the chimpanzee to about 12,000 years ago, when Homo sapiens was left as the sole hominin on the planet.

Since my ISP limits my space here severely, I have begun to add specimen images to a . The images there have much higher resolution than those here.

is a downloadable archive containing my spreadsheet for calculating normal ranges of placental weights and plotting an individual patient's placental weight on the resulting nomogram. The spreadsheet can be modified with your institution's logo and your personal signature line by anyone who has a bit of working knowledge of . There are two files in the archive. PLACENTA.XLS is the spreadsheet template itself, and PLACDOC.TXT is documentation on how to use the spreadsheet. Public domain, 15K.

(version 2.1) is a Microsoft Excel worksheet that accepts up to 1000 numerical datapoints, calculates descriptive statistics of the sample, collates the data into a user- specified number of groups, and draws a histogram of the grouped data. It can also accept user-specified exclusion criteria, allowing outliers to be filtered out of the dataset before the histogram is constructed. I developed it as an aid to determine lab test reference ranges. This is a Stuffit archive containing the spreadsheet, GROUPER.XLS, and the documentation, GROUPER.TXT. Public domain, 56K.

is a PowerPoint presentation on pathology as a career, comparing the world of academic pathology with that of private practice. This will be pretty obscure for anyone who is not fascinated by scientific names of biological species. You have been warned. 44K.
