|
What is the difference between Anatomic Pathology and Clinical Pathology?
|
Anatomic - gross and microscopic evaluation
Clinical - more lab focused techniques like analysis of body fluids, cellular level dx |
|
What four gross elements do Anatomic Pathologists evaluate?
|
size, shape, consistency, color
|
|
What microscopic techniques do Anatomic Pathologists use?
|
1) H&E staining
2) histochemical staining to look for specific cells or elements 3) immunohistochemical stains (Ab stains) to see what structures certain Abs will bind 4) immunofluorescence 5) TEM (transmission electron) 6) molecular techniques |

Define the following: TP (true positive), FP, TN, FN.
|
TP - people w/ disease w/ + test
FP - people w/o disease w/ + test TN - people w/o disease w/ - test FN - people w disease w/ - test |
|
Sensitivity
|
percent of patients w/ disease whom test positive
Sensitivity = 100*TP/(TP+FN) Ideally high |
|
Specificity
|
percent of patients w/o disease whom test negative
Sensitivity = 100*TN/(TN+FP) |
