Subject:
dogs; histology; image analysis; mast cells; morphometry
Abstract:
... Quantitative morphologic parameters assessed in cytologic samples of canine cutaneous mast cell tumors (ccMCTs) may assist with surgical planning and prognostication. Robust cutoffs can be defined, with high reproducibility, for parameters such as the nuclear area (NA). The NA may be determined by morphometry (image analysis, NAI) or by stereology, such as the 2D-nucleator method (NAN); stereologi ...

Abstract:
... The Taeniidae tapeworms are a family of helminths that have a similar life cycle, with intermediate hosts developing characteristic cysts in visceral organs. We describe here a case in Pennsylvania, USA, of fatal Versteria infection in a muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus), which, to our knowledge, has not been reported to develop disease associated with infection. Postmortem examination revealed widespr ...

Abstract:
... The Kenney–Doig scale is a histopathology categorization (grading) system often used as the standard for assessing endometrial disease and communicating prognostic fertility information for equine breeding prospects. We investigated how Kenney–Doig categories compared within the same institution and across different institutions to determine if observer variability may contribute to category frequ ...

Abstract:
... Determining a simple quality control (QC) rule for daily performance monitoring depends on the desired total allowable error (TEa) for the measurand. When no consensus TEa exists, the classical approach of QC rule validation cannot be used. Using the results of previous canine serum and urine cortisol validation studies on the Immulite 2000 Xpi, we applied a reverse engineering approach to QC rule ...
