A sweet potato plant with galling, the abnormal enlargement or swelling of or on the root of a plant, is seen here at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS), U.S. Vegetable Laboratory in Charleston, South Carolina, on January 28, 2021.
Research Plant Pathologist-Nematologist William Rutter, Ph.D., works here to develop tools to manage and mitigate the damage caused by the Meloidogyne enterolobii (the guava root-knot nematode), and other root-knot nematode species.
Nematodes are small microscopic roundworms in the soil.
These specific nematodes only appeared in the United States within the last 20 years and they've slowly been spreading across the southeastern states causing damage in sweet potato as well as several other crops.
This research will provide resources to develop germplasm that will help breeders develop new crop varieties that are resistant to the nematode as well as management practices that will help farmers directly manage the nematode and stop its spread in the field.
Part of the work includes the imaging of infected plants with a spectral imager that reveals signatures that are not visible to the naked eye. The hope is to score plants for their susceptibility to this nematode.
Root-knot nematodes in general and particularly Meloidogyne enterolobii can infect the majority of cultivated plants in the U.S. They're currently causing a lot of damage in sweet potato in the Carolinas, but they also infect other vegetable crops such as pepper, cucumber, watermelon, as well as soybean and cotton. Root-knot nematodes cause billions of dollars of damage each year for the U.S. and farmers globally.

Photographer: Johann Theodor Prümm (1841-1890), Berlin, Unter den Linden 51; working period ca. 1863-1878 cf. www.fotorevers.eu/de/catalog1.php?details=1715 . He won medals in Berlin (1865), Hamburg (1868) and Wien (1873).
Date: 1888 (printed on the reverse), but dedicated to Alexandru Obregia, on 30 August 1890.
Location: Berlin, Germany
The portrayed: Robert Langerhans (1859-1904) was assistant of Rudolf Virchow and later professor of Pathology in Berlin (at Moabit Hospital). In 1896, his son Ernst died shortly after being injected (by his father) with a prophylactic dose of anti-diphtheria serum. The father, claimed, in the obituary notice, that his son had been poisoned by Behring's anti-diphtheria serum, which generated a scandal (see more at
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17144617 ).
Robert Langerhans was the step-brother of Paul Langerhans who discovered the pancreatic structures called the Langerhans islets (that produce Insulin)
Format: CDV (unfortunately, the borders have been cut for insertion in the album !)

From Jim's 2011 Western International Forest Disease Work Conference (WIFDWC) Keynote Address:
"In 1971 I accepted a transfer and promotion to the Pacific Northwest Region in Portland, Oregon. Dave Johnson had arrived about one month before me. Dave Graham was the staff director. Walt Thies joined the staff in 1973. Over the years many forest pathologists joined this staff, including Don and Ellen Goheen, Greg Filip, Craig Schmitt, Paul Hessburg, Bob Harvey, Boris Tkacz, Sally Campbell, Susan Frankel, Alan Kanaskie and my apologies to others I have overlooked. We provided forest pathology advice to all National Forests and other federal and tribal lands in Washington and Oregon from Portland. I took a bit of a break from forest pathology from 1988 to 1993 when I more-or-less became a killer of western spruce budworms and Douglas-fir tussock moths. In 1994 I resumed being a forest pathologist when I moved to Wenatchee, WA, where I am thoroughly entrenched.

From the photographer:
This is a portion of human skin taken with an iPhone from Apple applied to an Olympus microscope. The magnification is 400x.
There is a hair follicle surface surrounded by basket-woven cornified layer and topped by erythrocytes (from hemorrhage derived from the surgical procedure).
The difficult part of taking the photomicrograph is aligning the lens of the iPhone to the eyepiece of the microscope and getting the right image size and the most uniform lighting. An adapter is in the works in my excited mind.
This is an unedited picture. A greenish tinge, easily edited out, is seen in this rendition but not on the screen of the iPhone.
The surprising thing is the incredible quality of the iPhone lens, as able to focus so close to the surface of the ocular as to do snapshot from afar subjects. This opens the possibility for pathologists to share biopsy images and collaborate on diagnoses on the phone. What do you think?

Warning: Several photographs in this set contain images of an actual human autopsy.
In this award-winning human anatomy program for grades 10 and up, students follow a videotape of an actual human autopsy accompanied by live narration from an Ohio State University pathology resident, in this case, Dr. Jessica Hemminger, with COSI educators Chris Husmann and Becca Kelly facilitating.
Students must take careful notes during the procedure, work through the "case," and solve for cause of death.
Schools from across the United States and beyond connect to COSI for this program. During the program pictured here, schools from four states participated, including Ohio, New Jersey, New York, and Wisconsin.
COSI's "In Depth: Autopsy" received a Gold Muse Award from the American Association of Museums for two-way interactive programming.
The autopsy is shown from the Y-incision to the removal of the brain and is 90-minutes long. Teens, adults, and community groups are welcome. Individual tickets are available for non-school audiences and individuals to watch from COSI's Galaxy Theater.
Teachers are sent a kit of materials prior to the program. In the kit, teachers will find materials to conduct both pre- and post-visit activities along with booklets for students to use during the program. "In-Depth: Autopsy" is supported by NYLF.

www.medilaw.tv - This movie illustrates the technique for performing a lumbar vertebral body biopsy. This movie shows patient positioning, skin preparation, local anesthetic injection, cannula introduction into the vertebral body, aspiration of a bone sample, and finally wound dressing.
A spinal biopsy is used to take a tissue sample from an abnormal area of the spine. This tissue can then be closely examined by a pathologist in the laboratory to determine its makeup.
INDICATIONS
A spinal biopsy is performed when suspicious tissue is found during a physical or radiological examination, and a tissue sample is required to make the final diagnosis.
INFORMED REFUSAL
It is your right to delay or refuse the recommended treatment for your condition. However, this delay or refusal may lead to the worsening of your symptoms, such as increased back pain. You should ask your doctor what might happen should you choose not to undertake the recommended treatment.
BEFORE
Before the vertebral body biopsy
- cease blood thinners as instructed ie coumadin/warfarin, plavix, heparin, aspirin
- let your doctor know all the medications you are taking including herbal medications that can increase bleeding risk ie vitamin E, glucosamine, chamomile, danshen, garlic, gingko, devil's claw, ginseng, fish oil, willow bark, feverfew, and goji berries
- don't eat or drink for a few hours before the procedure.
- wear loose-fitting clothes that are easy to take off and put on. Do not wear any jewelry.
- before the procedure, the skin on your back will be cleaned and you will be given a general health check.
- an intra-venous line may be placed into a vein in your arm to administer fluid and medications
- let your doctor know if you develop a fever, cold or flu symptoms before your scheduled procedure.
GOALS
The goal of a vertebral body biopsy is to obtain a sample of vertebral body material to enable examination and identification in a laboratory.
TECHNIQUE
You may be sitting or lying on your side or front. The skin on your back will be cleaned. A small needle will be used to inject some local anesthetic under the skin. This will sting for a few seconds before causing numbness. The spinal needle is inserted from behind and slightly to one side, into the area required. Fluoroscopy, an X-Ray TV, is used to guide the needle into the correct tissue. A small sample of the tissue is sucked into the needle. The needle is then removed and a band aid is applied. law illustrations
There is a voice inside of you
that whispers all day long,
"I feel that this is right for me,
I know that this is wrong."
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend
or wise man can decide
what's right for you - just listen to
the voice that speaks inside.

A sample of fat and muscle is prepared for fixation in formalin. After further processing, these tissue samples are later examined under a microscope by a pathologist. Typically, tissues from these starvation cases show atrophy of cells.
U.S. Vegetable Laboratory greenhouses at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Research Plant Pathologist-Nematologist William Rutter, Ph.D., works to develop tools to manage and mitigate the damage caused by the Meloidogyne enterolobii (the guava root-knot nematode), and other root-knot nematode species, he works in Charleston, South Carolina, on January 28, 2021.
Nematodes are small microscopic roundworms in the soil.
Meloidogyne enterolobii (the guava root-knot nematode) is an invasive species in the United States southeastern region and causes significant damage to a wide variety of crops worldwide.
These specific nematodes only appeared in the United States within the last 20 years and they've slowly been spreading across the southeastern states causing damage in sweet potato as well as several other crops.
This research will provide resources to develop germplasm that will help breeders develop new crop varieties that are resistant to the nematode as well as management practices that will help farmers directly manage the nematode and stop its spread in the field.
Part of the work includes the imaging of infected plants with a spectral imager that reveals signatures that are not visible to the naked eye. The hope is to score plants for their susceptibility to this nematode.
Root-knot nematodes in general and particularly Meloidogyne enterolobii can infect the majority of cultivated plants in the U.S. They're currently causing a lot of damage in sweet potato in the Carolinas, but they also infect other vegetable crops such as pepper, cucumber, watermelon, as well as soybean and cotton. Root-knot nematodes cause billions of dollars of damage each year for the U.S. and farmers globally.

Throughout a career that has spanned more than 50 years, Professor Donald Kelly has been a driving force in progressing the science and practice of veterinary pathology. Through his involvement with the Royal College of Pathologists and the European College of Veterinary Pathologists, he has established the standards of training and experience required for the development of specialists in veterinary pathology in Europe.
Donald graduated from the University of Bristol in 1957 and undertook postgraduate training in pathology at the University of Cambridge, before academic posts in Cambridge and at the University of Pennsylvania. On returning to the UK, he took up a post as Senior Lecturer at the University of Bristol, before moving to the University of Liverpool as Chair of Veterinary Pathology and Head of Department.
Heavily involved in research and academic pathology, Donald has contributed to more than 200 scientific publications. His book contributions include Colour Atlas of Veterinary Cardiology: Canine Nephrology and Notes on Pathology for Small Animal Clinicians, which provides a basic guide for practitioners on how to make the best use of pathology in clinical practice.
Possessing the vision and drive necessary to establish the professional bodies and examinations that are essential to promote and maintain appropriate standards in diagnostic veterinary pathology, Donald steered discussions with the Royal College of Pathologists that led to the successful establishment of its Specialty Advisory Committee on Veterinary Pathology. Under his leadership, the SAC was instrumental in establishing comprehensive training and examination standards in veterinary pathology. Donald was also the Foundation President of the European College of Veterinary Pathologists when it was established in 1995.
Two years earlier, Donald’s dedication to clinical veterinary science had been recognised by the British Small Animal Veterinary Association when he received the BSAVA Amoroso award for outstanding contributions to small animal studies by a non-clinical veterinary surgeon.
Donald has also played his part at the RCVS and was a Liverpool University appointee to Council from 1996 to 2000, during which time he made a valued contribution to a range of committees and Boards.
Now retired from his university post, Donald continues to dedicate himself to actively supporting veterinary pathology as a discipline and veterinary pathologists as specialists; he still contributes significantly to the veterinary community in relation to encouraging budding veterinary pathologists and maintaining standards in diagnostic veterinary pathology. He also works as a pathologist for commercial diagnostic laboratories and recently chaired an SAC working party, responding on behalf of the Royal College of Pathologists to the changes in veterinary pathology and surveillance associated with the Animal and Plant Health Agency’s Surveillance 2014 project.
Donald has been a leader in the pathology field both in the UK and internationally and is renowned for his contributions to teaching and promoting standards in postgraduate education and qualifications. He has inspired and encouraged generations of trainee veterinary pathologists.
