Understanding Visual Perception in Medical Diagnoses: A Deep Dive with Claudia Mello-ThomsIn this episode, Christine continues the conversation with Claudia Mello-Thoms, an expert in visual perception as it relates to medical diagnosis. The discussion delves into the use of templates by experts to quickly recognize abnormalities in medical images, despite their large size and complexity. Claudia explains how perception operates at a subconscious level, often leading to perceptual errors in medical practices like radiology and pathology. The conversation underscores the need to understand the human element in diagnostics to reduce errors and improve accuracy. The episode also explores the difference between rapid (fast) and deliberative (slow) processing in the assessment of medical images, emphasizing the importance of fresh perspectives when diagnostic clarity is lacking.00:00 Introduction to Visual Perception in Medical Diagnoses00:40 Understanding Templates in Medical Imaging01:34 Expert vs. Novice Diagnoses02:13 The Role of Clinical History in Pathology06:48 Fast vs. Slow Processing in Diagnoses09:42 Perception and Cognition in Medical Imaging10:31 Teaching and Learning in Medical Imaging21:48 Challenges and Future Directions in Radiology23:09 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

About the Lecture: "Our democracy is getting self-destroyed, for it abused the rights of freedom and of equality; for it taught the citizens to regard insolence as a right, illegality as freedom, impertinence as equality, and anarchy as happiness." Isocrates, Athenian orator (436-338 BC) Democracy first emerged in ancient Athens in 507 BC following a long turbulent period of aristocracy and tyranny, when a nexus of intertwined geopolitical, sociopolitical, economic, and cultural developments led to the morphogenesis of this new political constitution. Athenian Democracy formulated the political ideology and fundamental principles that were later canonized by modern democracies, formalized defensive mechanisms against undue concentration of power and employed innovative integrative mechanisms to propagate its ideology and educate the citizens. Pathogenic traits-catalysts, however, such as the extreme polarization between mass and elite, demagogy, populism, failure of justice, apathy, and poor education caused extensive political ankylosis. Internal corrosion and changing historical conditions caused the decline and fall of Democracy three centuries later.Isocrates' aphorism, therefore, rings alarmingly all too pragmatic and relevant today, 250 years since the resurgence of Democracy in the modern era. Are we running a similar cycle, repeating old mistakes, standing at the same juncture, heading towards the same dead end? To navigate forward, find solutions, and shape our future, we need first to study our past.

We recorded live at Pathology Visions and are covering the power of structured data and how it's redefining the future of pathology reporting, AI, and clinical decision support.We explore how structured reporting evolved from checklists to intelligence, why data hygiene and workflow integration matter more than AI buzzwords, and how collaboration across companies like mTuitive is helping labs turn their reports into clinically actionable data.Highlights with Timestamps[00:00–05:40] Data as the new currency in pathology — Why structured data is the foundation for clinical, research, and trial insights.[05:40–10:30] AI & Large Language Models (LLMs) — What AI can (and can't) do when your data isn't structured.[10:30–19:25] AI workflow integration & voice recognition — How AI and structured reporting work together inside the LIS and IMS.[19:25–25:27] Overcoming resistance — Why pathologists initially resisted structured reports and how perceptions are shifting globally.[25:27–29:53] Decision support & beyond cancer — Expanding structured data to liver, skin, and even mental health pathology.[29:53–34:15] Collaboration as the catalyst — How partnerships create seamless ecosystems for pathology data.[34:15–37:03] Demo: Synoptic reporting in action — Real-time staging, automation, and compliance made easy.Resources from this EpisodemTuitive website: https://mtuitive.comCAP Synoptic Reporting Protocols – Standardized templates for structured pathology reports.Pathology Visions Conference 2025 – Event where this discussion took place.Key Takeaways✅ Structured reporting transforms pathology data from static text into actionable intelligence.✅ AI and LLMs complement structured data—but can't replace its clinical readiness.✅ Clean data in = clean data out—data hygiene defines AI reliability and efficiency.✅ Workflow integration and user-friendly design drive real-world adoption.✅ Structured data unlocks clinical trials access, research potential, and decision support tools.✅ Collaboration is key to building the connected ecosystem pathology needs.Support the showGet the "Digital Pathology 101" FREE E-book and join us!
Start with a simple truth from Juana Lopez: you choose your path, even with limits. This conversation moves fast and goes deep as we follow Juana's journey from post‑polio paraplegia to leading a VA histopathology team that turns tissue into answers. She walks us through the unseen work of processing biopsies, the precision behind cancer diagnostics, and the human stakes that drive her purpose every day.Juana talks plainly about why she moved for promotion and team fit, how leadership shows up in a lab, and what it takes to build trust between technicians and clinicians. Accessibility threads through every story: strong laws, better technology, and the stubborn gaps that still make daily life harder than it should be. Her empathy test—try the same shoes—becomes a design principle for hospitals, software, and cities alike.The heart of this episode is agency. Juana doesn't deny barriers; she refuses to let them define the horizon. From adaptive workspaces and universal design to culture that welcomes disabled professionals as experts, not exceptions, we map a path where dignity and productivity rise together. If you care about disability inclusion, VA healthcare, cancer diagnostics, or simply living on purpose, you'll find both practical insight and a mindset shift worth keeping.Listen now, share with a friend who needs this perspective, and tell us the choice you're making this week. Subscribe for more conversations that turn grit, access, and design into everyday action, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.

At first, it looked like age catching up with former police chief Rick Young: confusion, fatigue, a flutter in the chest. No one suspected that the woman he had trusted for decades was quietly planning his death. This week on Pathology with Dr. Priya, a Zone 7 series, Sheryl McCollum and Dr. Priya Banerjee discuss the case of Marcy Oglesby, who, over several months, secretly mixed over-the-counter eye drops into Young's food and drinks. When his body was later discovered inside a storage unit, toxicology revealed lethal levels of tetrahydrozoline, the active ingredient in common eye drops. Dr. Priya explains how this drug attacks the cardiovascular system, why it is almost undetectable without targeted testing, and what makes poisonings like this so difficult to identify until it's far too late. Highlights (0:00) Welcome to Pathology with Dr. Priya: A Zone 7 series—Sheryl McCollum introduces the Marcy Oglesby case and the death of retired Police Chief Richard “Rick” Young (0:45) How Oglesby slowly poisoned her partner with tetrahydrozoline-laced food and drinks (2:15) Dr. Priya explains why eye-drop poisonings are rare and absent from most toxicology panels (6:00) Early symptoms: numbness, confusion, fluctuating blood pressure, and blue lips (8:00) Why doctors might miss the signs of tetrahydrozoline poisoning and attribute symptoms to age or heart disease (10:00) The estimated lethal dose and how even a small mouthful can cause heart-block death (13:45) Trust, dependency, and opportunity: the dynamics that let the poisoning continue undetected (20:30) What Rick Young likely endured in his final days: chest pain, dizziness, and slow suffocation (25:45) Closing reflections and Dr. Priya’s reminder that every case is a lesson About the Hosts Dr. Priya Banerjee is a board-certified forensic pathologist with extensive experience in death investigation, clinical forensics, and courtroom testimony.

This week on Pathology with Dr. Priya, a Zone 7 series, Sheryl McCollum and Dr. Priya Banerjee continue their forensic review of the 2011 death of Ellen Greenberg, a young woman found with more than twenty stab wounds in her Philadelphia apartment. Picking up where part one left off, Dr. Priya discusses the two critical stab wounds that penetrated Ellen's brain stem and spinal cord; injuries she believes would have rendered her incapable of any further self-harm. From the anatomy of the cervical spine to the forensic interpretation of bruising, Dr. Priya explains why the medical evidence in this case still challenges the official ruling of suicide, and why the Greenberg family continues to fight for justice. Highlights (0:00) Welcome to Pathology with Dr. Priya: A Zone 7 series—Sheryl McCollum and Dr. Priya introduce part two of the Ellen Greenberg case (1:45) Dr. Priya describes how she documents injuries and explains why numbering stab wounds can mislead investigators (2:45) The base-of-skull wounds, and how it penetrated the dura, disrupting vital brainstem functions (4:45) The cervical-spine injury between C2 and C3 and how Ellen’s neurological injuries could explain the absence of defensive wounds (10:45) Distinguishing the possible order of injuries, and why positioning and directionality are critical in understanding the sequence of events (13:15) "History of mental illness does not make you suicidal.” Dr. Priya explains why psychiatric history must be interpreted cautiously in death investigations (14:15) Brusing: what it can and cannot tell investigators about struggle, timing and prior assaults (20:00) Dr. Priya reflects on the Greenberg family’s courage, and the power of their love to keep fighting for the truth About the Hosts Dr. Priya Banerjee is a board-certified forensic pathologist with extensive experience in death investigation, clinical forensics, and courtroom testimony.

Episode 3 of our monthly GU Cast Journal Club and today we focus on one classic paper in Urology, and one from recent times - the ERSPC randomised trial of screening in prostate cancer, and the NIAGARA trial evaluating peri-operative immunotherapy in muscle-invasive bladder cancer. We are delighted to welcome back our GU Cast Journal Club Editors, Dr Carlos Delgado (Melbourne, AUS), and Dr Elena Berg (Munich, GER), along with main GU Cast Hosts, Renu Eapen and Declan Murphy. Watch out for Declan getting all misty-eyed recalling when the ERSPC was published back in 2009 (the rest of the team are too young to remember this)! Links to papers below:1. Screening and Prostate-Cancer Mortality in a Randomized European Study NEJM 20092. Perioperative Durvalumab with Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Operable Bladder Cancer NEJM 2024GU Cast Journal Club is supported by our Partner, MSD, through an unrestricted educational grant.Even better on our YouTube channelAbout GU Cast Journal Club:Each month, two papers are discussed, each of which are of importance to the GU Oncology community. These may be recent papers, or occasionally we will chose a classic landmark paper in GU Oncology. The objective is to draw attention to important papers in GU Oncology, and critique these in a robust manner. The key target audience is trainees working in Urology, Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Nuclear Medicine, and diagnostic specialties such as Radiology and Pathology. But any of our regular audience are likely to enjoy this Journal Club series.

Send us a textIf artificial intelligence can match—or even surpass—our diagnostic accuracy, what happens to the role of the pathologist?That's the question I explore in this episode of DigiPath Digest #30, where I break down three fascinating papers showing how AI is changing the way we diagnose, classify, and predict outcomes in renal transplant biopsies, thyroid cytology, and gastrointestinal cancers.These studies don't just prove AI's potential—they reveal what it means for us, the humans behind the microscope.Study 1 — Renal Transplant Biopsies: Precision in Every PixelA Japanese team examined how deep neural networks and large language models improve diagnostic consistency in renal transplant pathology.They highlighted how the Banff Digital Pathology Working Group is retraining AI models alongside updated Banff classifications—creating a dynamic feedback loop between human expertise and machine learning.In the U.S., over ten digital pathology systems are now FDA-cleared for primary diagnosis, showing that AI can support both accuracy and accountability. It's not replacing us—it's working with us.Study 2 — Thyroid Cytology: From Overdiagnosis to OptimizationAs someone who's personally experienced thyroid cancer, this study hit close to home.Researchers in China developed AI-TFNA, a multimodal system that combines whole-slide images and BRAF mutation data from over 20,000 thyroid fine-needle aspirations across seven centers.The model achieved 93% accuracy, reducing unnecessary surgeries and improving clinical decisions. What's especially impressive is Image Appearance Migration (IAM)—a technique that helps AI adapt across scanners and labs, ensuring reliable performance worldwide.Study 3 — GI Cancer: Prognosis ReimaginedAn international collaboration of over 2,400 patients introduced a Deep Learning Pathomics Signature (DLPS) that merges nuclear features, tumor microenvironment, and spatial single-cell data.This AI-driven model predicted patient survival and therapy response more accurately than traditional TNM staging—even identifying which patients are most likely to benefit from chemotherapy or immunotherapy.It's precision medicine powered by pathology.Reflections:Each of these studies made me think about the balance between trust and technology. We've reached a point where AI can truly enhance diagnostic precision—but it also challenges us to stay actively engaged, curious, and informed.Because the real risk isn't that AI will outperform us—it's that we'll stop thinking critically once it does.That's why collaboration between pathologists, data scientists, and industry innovators matters more than ever.AI isn't replacing us—it's redefining what excellence looks like in pathology.#DigitalPathology #AIinHealthcare #ComputationalPathology #RenalPathology #ThyroidCytology #CancerDiagnostics #DigiPathDigestSupport the showGet the "Digital Pathology 101" FREE E-book and join us!

The ABMP Podcast | Speaking With the Massage & Bodywork Profession
A client was prescribed oral birth control to help manage symptoms of perimenopause. The medication caused a deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which then caused a pulmonary embolism (PE). Altogether this forms a potentially deadly phenomenon called venous thromboembolism (VTE). She survived, and she's fine. But here's the thing: her PE was just two weeks ago, and she wants to receive deep massage to her neck, back, and shoulders. Yikes, right? Or maybe not? Listen in for some key decision points about this question. Resources: A Doctor's Note is Not Good Enough… and what is better: online self-paced continuing education course, available here.

Send us a Positive Review!How does one break down the intricacies of the spiritual transformation journey? Although different for each person, there is in fact a common thread that connects every person's onward and upward climb towards their greatest potential consciousness. In today's episode Val and Nathan introduce a way to think about this process using three key metaphors: the ladder of consciousness, the climber navigating between rungs, and the expanding view at higher levels. The episode sets the stage for a deeper exploration into the challenges of transitioning between spiritual stages and paths.
