Artificial intelligence is the key driver for digital pathology adoption
, /in Editors' Picks, Featured Articles /by 3wmediaby Dr Mustafa Yousif, Dr David S. McClintock and Dr Keluo Yao Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to optimize anatomic pathology (AP) laboratory efficiency, enhance pathologists’ diagnostic skills, elevate case reimbursement and, ultimately, improve patient care. To realize this potential, AP laboratories must overcome the barriers to adopting digital pathology (DP) while DP vendors […]
Value of calprotectin analysis
, /in Featured Articles /by 3wmediaby Dr Ruth Ayling Calprotectin is a protein derived from neutrophils and its presence in feces can be used as a surrogate marker of gastrointestinal inflammation.

A brief review of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and diagnostic considerations
, /in Featured Articles /by 3wmediaby Dr Christina C. Pierre and Dr Lindsay Bazydlo Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a hypercoagulable disorder that is mediated by antibodies against heparin complexed to platelet factor 4. HIT antibodies activate platelets, which generate a self-propagating, pro-coagulant state. A subset of patients with HIT develop thrombosis that can be limb- and/or life-threatening. This review provides […]
