Time for another appreciation post for sarcomas because I came across a mother of one the other day:

1 - a relatively normal cancer cell with a prominent nucleolus (dark dot in the middle of the slightly lighter oval)

2 - a cancer cell showing an increased cell size and a large nucleolus

3 - a cancer cell who decided to become a beast with significant karyomegaly and a huge nucleolus

1 - a relatively normal cancer cell

2 - a super large beast with four nucleoli

1 - a normal sized cancer cell

2 - a cancer cell with two large nuclei of varying sizes (so a binucleated cell with karyomegaly)

3 - a cancer cell with karyomegaly and a large nucleolus

4 - me on an average monday

long time, no see

Wow, I haven't been on tumblr in a very long time. Fourth year really ate up all of my energy and I have neglected a lot of things in my life that make me a little bit more sane.

I started my pathology residency about a month ago and it so far is going well! Since pathology is a reading-driven specialty, I find my brain wandering off. The last time this happened to me, I was struggling to study for the MCAT, which brought me back to tumblr.

So hi. My name is Liz. I am a PGY-1 resident in pathology. I love to mentor other students so please feel free to ask me anything! I post a lot on my medstagram account @lizzy.study but my longer posts are always reserved for tumblr.

Right now, I really need to read this surgpath book.

Sometimes they die

I know it's not the same as families, or front line folks, but we know those patients too.

I wrote your name 15 times the first time we saw you, making the training set of films, hoping you'd get treatment and get better.

We kept an eye out for you, memorized your cells, looked at your file with a certain fondness.

You were gone for a while. Getting better? At the children's hospital? Home on hospice?

But you came back, and it looked worse. Trending down. On call doctor not even surprised at your critical results.

And then the samples stop. Maybe the doctors tell us you're gone, maybe they don't and we keep wondering.

All we knew of you was some blood in a tube, but it still breaks my heart to know that you've gone for real.

Necrosis of the pyramidal neurons

The classic necrotic neuron is the "dead red". Shrunken, angular, and hypereosinophilic (red) with a pyknotic nucleus, scattered dead neurons can be associated with a wide range of neurologic disease. Necrosis of the pyramidal neurons in the hippocampus is commonly associated with seizure activity, particularly in the CA2 and CA3 regions. Whether this necrosis is the cause or effect of the seizure activity is not always entirely clear, although it is typically attributed to the abnormal electrical activity and hypoxia associated with seizures.

42 days until my exams start and I feel like I am pouring water into a colander with how much information is actually staying inside my brain.

Fun pathology things: spending the better part of 1.5 hours carefully sectioning and sampling an equine brain and spinal cord. I am going to get a diagnosis on this horse if it kills me (and it might)
