Respiratory Medicine journal homepage Background: An ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread around the world. It is debatable whether asymptomatic COVID-19 virus carriers are contagious. We report here a case of the asymptomatic patient and present clinical characteristics of 455 contacts, which aims to study the infectivity of asymptomatic carriers. Material and methods: 455 contacts who were exposed to the asymptomatic COVID-19 virus carrier became the subjects of our research. They were divided into three groups: 35…

Д-р Стоян Алексов е Председател на Българската асоциация по патология и като такъв участва в семинар на Европейската асоциация по патология. Основният извод на патолозите от Швейцария, Франция, Германия, Италия, Испания е, че коронавирусът не е смъртоносен. Няма починал от коронавирус! За да кажем, че човек е починал от коронавирус трябва да установим възпалителна реакция, довела до смъртта, без да има други несъвместими с живота заболявания. Такива случаи няма. Няма специфични патоморфологични белези на пораженията от коронавируса върху човешките тъкани.…

In the span of two months, we have re-imagined the dermatopathology education to an Online experience and harnessed existing technologies to create very engaging content. We have created a new format of educational videos particularly suited for dermatopathology education. I call it the “conversational lecture”. We have also developed an effective alternative for the microscopic session.To accomplish this, we have created a new Dermpedia Courses website. https://courses.dermpedia.orgwhich will launch on May 13th.Since you are on our mailing list you will…

IHC Resourceswww.abcam.com/IHC-kits-and-reagentswww.abcam.com/IHC-primary-antibodieswww.abcam.com/IHC-secondary-antibodies Immunohistochemistry (IHC) uses antibodies to detect the location of proteins and other antigens in tissue sections. The antibody-antigen interaction is visualized using either chromogenic detection with a colored enzyme substrate, or fluorescent detection with a fluorescent dye.Although less quantitative than assays such as western blotting or ELISA, IHC gives invaluable information about protein localization in the context of intact tissue. Protein expression patterns are tremendously valuable for pathologists and as diagnostic tools. Essential to a successful IHC experiment…

From the Josep Carreras Institute we coordinate The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Project on Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP) funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in USA, and lead by Dr. Manel Esteller. The goal of the TCGA CUP project is to reach 500 cases of CUPs where we will perform DNA sequencing, copy-number, expression and DNA methylation analyses for each sample. We will be the core reception lab of all the samples.  Regarding biological samples, in addition to…
