Quality control of automated cellular analyses -- the fallibility of embalmed blood.

The use of preserved blood for quality control is well established. The treatment of such materials to extend their life can impart a property to those materials such that external contaminants to diluents used for subsequent analysis may not be detected by these materials and give a false sense of security in a quality control program. The effect of the contaminant on fresh cells is more of a problem. Most contaminants affect cell volume, particularly the red cells which have been studied in-depth. White cell differential screening by size analysis is similarly affected. The recognition of the different properties of fresh and preserved blood helps explain results.

[Learning and optimising minimally invasive techniques by operating on embalmed human corpses].

The expansion of minimally invasive surgery worldwide provokes an intensive interest of all surgical disciplines in gaining possibilities for research, learning and teaching by operating on human corpses. Despite the fact that German anatomical institutes in general have the infrastructure to realise such clinical cooperations, at present they may offer such opportunities only to a restricted degree, since the concentration on student teaching and anatomic research limits the capacity of the staff for a commitment in this field of applied science. To provide a basis for future estimations of the efforts necessary to perform solo surgery on the human cadaver, especially with emphasis on research, quality control and teaching, this article reports on practical experiences with such a project named "ANAtoMIC", identifying minimal conditions which have to be realised.
