📢 Save the date: October 16, 2025 • 1 PM ET for MediaLabVastian’s webinar Improving STI Screening Access Across Gender Identities and Sexual Behaviors.

Led by Dr. Dina Greene, PhD, DABCC, this session unpacks critical gaps between STI screening guidelines and what’s currently available—and explores how self-collected specimens and validated methods can help close those gaps.

Key takeaways include:
• Comprehensive insight on infection sites for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea
• Identification of testing availability shortfalls based on gender identity & behavior
• The benefits and implementation of self-collection models
• Designing method validation experiments to broaden access

Perfect for clinicians, lab staff, public health professionals, and anyone committed to equitable sexual health.

Calcium oxalate monohydrate crystals!

Calcium oxalate crystals are commonly found in acidic and neutral urine. They can appear in both healthy individuals and those with underlying conditions. These crystals can be seen in two main forms: dihydrate (envelope-shaped) and monohydrate (dumbbell- or oval-shaped, pictured).

While small amounts may be normal, excessive calcium oxalate crystalluria is associated with kidney stone formation and chronic kidney disease. The excessive presence of the monohydrate form is characteristic of ethylene glycol (antifreeze) poisoning.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 💗

Behind every biopsy and lab test is a dedicated team of medical laboratory professionals working to detect, diagnose, and guide treatment for breast cancer patients. The lab plays a vital role in every patient’s journey. 🧪✨
This month, we honor patients, survivors, and the tireless efforts of laboratorians who make timely, accurate testing possible. Together, we’re not just raising awareness—we’re supporting lives.

Thank you for participating in Under the Scope with Octavius! 🔬🐙 This week's answer is...
Charcot-Leyden crystal!

Charcot-Leyden crystals are formed from the breakdown of eosinophils. They are composed of lysophospholipase (galectin-10), a protein released during eosinophil degeneration. Their presence is strongly linked to eosinophil-rich inflammatory conditions, such as parasitic infections, allergic diseases, and eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders.

Under the scope, they appear colorless (unstained) and bipyramidal or hexagonal in shape, with sharp, elongated points resembling needles or spindles. They are refractile under brightfield microscopy and often found in sputum, stool, tissue, or other body fluids after eosinophil breakdown.

Thank you for participating in Under the Scope with Octavius! 🔬🐙 This week's answer is...
Cabot ring!

Cabot rings are rare, abnormal red blood cell inclusions. They are thought to represent remnants of the mitotic spindle or microtubule structures left behind during abnormal erythropoiesis, and their presence is always considered pathologic.

Cabot rings are associated with severe anemia, lead poisoning, dyserythropoiesis, and post-splenectomy states. Under the scope, Cabot rings appear as thin, red-violet staining rings, loops, or figure-eight-shaped structures.

Thank you for participating in Under the Scope with Octavius! 🔬🐙 This week's answer is...
Schistosoma haematobium!

Schistosoma haematobium is a parasitic trematode (blood fluke) that primarily infects the venous plexus of the bladder and is the causative agent of urinary schistosomiasis. It is transmitted to humans through contact with freshwater containing infective cercariae, which pe*****te the skin.

Under the scope, S. haematobium eggs are seen during urine sediment examination, typically measuring 110–170 µm in length. They appear elongated with an oval shape and a characteristic terminal spine (at one end).
