Type of Materials Requested
Submissions are requested for the fifth ASVCP Clinical Chemistry Review Session. Submitted materials should focus on the interpretation of chemistry data, including but not limited to the routine serum chemistry panel. Ancillary clinical pathology and other data as needed for the presentation of the case is appropriate. Cases may represent any species and cases with unresolved outcomes to stimulate audience discussion are encouraged. Case material from residents and more experienced clinical pathologists are welcome. Results of toxicology studies, cases involving the interpretation of quality control materials or validation studies as well as individual clinical case presentations will be considered for this session. The ASVCP Clinical Chemistry Review Session is held at a separate time from the ASVCP Cytology and Hematology Case Review Session that involves cytology and hematology slides or images (see above for the call for cases for that session).
Case Submission
Cases MUST be submitted using the online forms posted at the ASVCP website (http://www.asvcp.org). Reference intervals for the laboratory data should be provided. Two files will be submitted. The first file is the Clinical Chemistry History to be distributed with data prior to the meeting and should include contributors, signalment, concise history, and clinical findings. The submitter is also encouraged to provide questions to be answered at the case review session. It is hoped that these questions will inspire participants to review and investigate the data before the meeting. The second file is the Clinical Chemistry Summary to be distributed at the meeting and should include the information on the first file, plus diagnosis, discussion (including answers to the questions that were provided) and references. The combined case history and summary should be contained in a maximum of 5 pages (excluding pictures, including references).
When and Where to Submit
The deadline for submission of cases is June 15, 2012. Submitters will be notified of the results of the selection process by September 7, 2012. It is anticipated that 2-4 cases will be selected for presentation, depending on the complexity of the cases. Be sure to include your e-mail address with your submission.
