August 2017 Issue of The Pathologist

Our August 2017 issue explores the decline of the traditional autopsy – and the alternatives that have arisen to address the vital need for death investigation. Other key topics include the “diagnostic zebra” of pediatric pancreatitis, the potential to map cancer using mass spectrometry imaging, open-source labware for the masses, and the value of simulation in pathology education. Finally, we sit down with Kona Williams, forensic pathologist and First Nations Liaison in Ontario, Canada.
