    Abstract A drive through the area of Lancashire inland from the seaside resort of Southport takes you through miles of fertile agricultural land dotted with farms and smallholdings. Road signs pointing to such places as 'Mereside', 'Mere Brow' and 'Mere Sands Wood' suggest the origin of these peaty soils, because in the seventeenth century this was the site of the largest lake in England. Martin Mere began as a depression in the glacial drift which filled with water as the ice from the last Ice Age retreated, and over its long history the land and the lake have contested the area as water levels have r

    Abstract Objectives: Provide quality management training in anatomic pathology so that slides are of adequate quality and can be interpreted.
    Methods: During the first African Pathology Assembly, we performed a needs assessment and knowledge quizzes, then presented 4 modules of the quality management system (personnel management, process control, sample management, and equipment) that are used to train quality in vertical programs by the World Health Organization.
    Results: Participants included 14 (34%) trainees, 14 (34%) pathologists, and 9 (22%) technologists from South Africa (11), Nigeria (6), Tanzania (4), and other countries (18). Thirty (73%) participants took the course because they had interest in the topic while 6 (15%) did it because it was recommended by a supervisor. Most participants thought that the quality of slides was medium to high in their institution and that clinicians trust results. The most frequent quality issues cited included problems from processing to staining, long turnaround times, and preanalytical issues (fixation, lack of clinical history). The average result of the knowledge quiz was 6.7 (range, 2-10) before (38 participants) the course and 8.3 (range, 5-10) after (30 participants) the course.
    Conclusions: This assessment suggests there is a need for quality management courses in pathology in Africa.

    Abstract Breast cancer is the commonest cause of cancer-related mortality in African females where patients often present later and with advanced disease. Causes for delayed diagnosis include restricted diagnostic access and international controversy on interpretation of ancillary tests like immunohistochemistry (IHC). Fine needle aspirates (FNAC) are an attractive alternative although may have reduced sensitivity. The Xpert Breast Cancer STRAT4 (STRAT4) (CE-IVD*) assay (Cepheid, Sunnyvale) is a semi-quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction assay which detects messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in breast samples for estrogen receptor ( ESR1 ), progesterone receptor ( PGR1 ), human epidermal growth factor receptor/Erb-B2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (HER2/ ERBB2 ) and the proliferation marker, MKi67 . We assessed the performance of this assay on both formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE, n=31) and matched FNAC (n=20) samples from patients presenting with breast cancer to the Johannesburg academic hospitals. IHC and Fluorescent in situ hybridization analysis (performed on HER2-indeterminate samples) was compared with the mRNA expression of the corresponding target genes in FFPE samples, and mRNA expression on FNAC samples was compared with the FFPE results for both mRNA expression and IHC. Concordance between IHC/FISH and Xpert Breast Cancer STRAT4 in FFPE and FNAC samples using the Quick lysis (Q) method (a research-use-only modification of the validated FFPE-lysis method), showed an overall percentage agreement for ESR1 expression of 90.3% and 81.3%, and for PGR1 expression at 86.7% and 81.3% respectively in FFPE and FNAC samples. Concordance was lowest for Ki67 expression, using a binary IHC cutoff for Ki67 positivity at ≥20% staining) at 83.9% and 62.5%, for FFPE and FNAC samples, respectively. This suggests that the STRAT4 assay may be a useful ancillary test in determining HR and Ki67 status in FFPE samples and that use on FNAC samples may be feasible. Future studies should expand the sample numbers and establish locally relevant cutoffs.

    Abstract Case: This report describes the case of quadriceps contusion progressing to acute compartment syndrome (ACS) of the thigh. A 17-year-old football player presented the morning after a direct impact injury to the anterior thigh in intractable pain and pain with short arc motion. He was diagnosed with ACS and underwent successful fasciotomy, ultimately returning to play at 4 months.
    Conclusion: ACS is rare but potential catastrophic progression of quadriceps contusion. Accurate and timely diagnosis followed by appropriate rehabilitation is necessary for optimal outcomes.

    Abstract Health care providers in the United States are facing challenges in selecting appropriate medication for patients with acute and chronic pain in the midst of the current opioid crisis and COVID-19 pandemic. When compared with conventional opioids, the partial µ-opioid receptor agonist buprenorphine has unique pharmacologic properties that may be more desirable for pain management. The formulations of buprenorphine approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for pain management include intravenous injection, transdermal patch, and buccal film. A comparison of efficacy and safety data from studies of buprenorphine and conventional opioids suggests that buprenorphine may be a better-tolerated treatment option for many patients that provides similar or superior analgesia. Our benefit-risk assessment in this narrative review suggests that health care providers should consider that buprenorphine may be an appropriate alternative for pain management over other opioids.

    Abstract Plasma membrane tension is known to regulate many cell functions, such as motility and membrane trafficking. Membrane tether pulling is an effective method for measuring the apparent membrane tension of cells and exploring membrane-cytoskeleton interactions. In this article, the mechanical properties of HP1α-depleted MCF7 breast cancer cells are explored in comparison to controls, by pulling membrane tethers using optical tweezers. These studies were inspired by previous findings that a loss of HP1α correlates with an increase in the invasive potential of malignant cancer cells. Specifically, the membrane tension and force relaxation curves for tethers pulled from MCF7 breast cancer cells with HP1α knockdown and their matched controls were measured, and shown to be significantly different.
