How the White House's new AI framework could impact pathology, the lifelong learning of cap-on-demand, and the benefits of showing patients their pathology images. These stories and more coming up next. This is Path News Network, Daily Edition from the College of American Pathologists. I'm Nick Lani. It's Tuesday, March 31st. The White House released a comprehensive national legislative framework on artificial intelligence intended to provide Congress with a roadmap for eventual legislation. Elements affecting pathology include the assertion that federal law should preempt state law governing AI. This could be a negative for medical providers, as state laws currently govern medical practices and are generally more favorable than federal policies. Federal preemption in AI also could open a slippery slope. allowing federal law to preempt state law in other areas involving pathology. As legislation based on the White House's AI framework moves forward, the CAP will monitor which state laws on AI in health care may be at risk of preemption and follow up with members as information becomes available. Keeping your pathology skills fresh is a lifelong pursuit. With the click of a mouse, CAP members have instant access to lifelong learning through CAP On Demand. an educational library filled with videos, podcasts, and interactive content you can personalize to your interests. Cap on Demand is updated regularly, and one of the latest editions is a primer on choroid plexus papilloma with Dr. Danielle Maracaja of the Duke University School of Medicine. Using imaging, slides, and many examples, Dr. Maracaja takes a deep dive into these benign brain tumors that tend to have an excellent prognosis.
Majority of patients have excellent outcomes after resection. It can recur and very rarely undergo malignant transformation to car plexus carcinoma, but usually it has a lot of success with just complete surgical resection.
Choroid plexus papilloma video is also an added feature of the Color Atlas of Body Fluids 2nd Edition, which can be purchased at the CAP eStore under publications. A study published in the American Journal of Surgical Pathology found that histological examination of silicone granulomas, painful firm lumps caused by improper silicone injection or implant rupture, can produce false positives for bacterial infection. Researchers at the University of Vermont Medical Center examined 20 confirmed silicone granuloma cases using fight staining, a method for detecting rare bacterial infections such as leprosy. All 20 of the samples produced a false positive. Researchers then examined the tissue using other stains, all of which came up negative. Recognizing the possibility of a false positive when using fight staining is important when examining a suspected or confirmed silicone granuloma. And finally, patients traditionally are not shown biopsy slides or other results of pathology exams, but Dr. Lija Joseph thinks that should change. She's the medical director of the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Lowell General Hospital in Lowell, Mass., and a leader in patient pathology consultation. In a recent episode of Pathology News' podcast, Digital Pathology Place, she explained that showing patients images of tumors or damaged cells helps them understand what's happening inside their bodies.
I have consistently heard from patients that knowledge is power. That is the exact words they use when they meet with me. And they say, Dr. Joseph, I cannot explain to you how important it is. Your conversation with me has empowered me to take control of my disease.
Dr. Joseph meets with three to four patients a month upon request, spending about half an hour with each to carefully explain what the images show. Sometimes these meetings are turning points, as happened with a breast cancer patient.
When we sat at the microscope and looked at the estrogen receptors, this was a patient of a different ethnicity who had pretty severe distrust of the medical system and was considering that as a barrier in following their treatment that was prescribed to them. And the patient said, if only I had seen what estrogen receptors are present on my tumor cells. And if somebody had explained to me why taking that anti-estrogen medication is beneficial to me, I would have been so much more compliant with my treatment. She had stopped taking after two years. She said, I don't want to deal with it. And she said, I'll go right back on it right now.
And that's it for today. For more information on today's stories, please see the show notes. And check your inbox for more news like this. in the CAP's Advocacy Newsletter every Tuesday and our Weekly Edition Newsletter on Thursdays. We'll be back Wednesday at 5 a.m. Eastern for another episode of The Daily Edition. I'm Nick Lani. Have a wonderful day.
