#PathSky 37M with a large retroperitoneal mass. Big, fatty thing. The outside quite rightly worried about well-differentiated LPS and a lipomatous angiomyolipoma, but MDM2, SMA and melanocytic markers were negative. Some WDL are MDM2-neg/MDM4-pos. Should we do more molecular ? Or something else?

When undertaking a new project or initiative, there are 3 types of elements to be considered:
1. must have = requirements
2. great to have
3. nice, but not necessary to have
Important to clarify from the get-go which mix of elements will result in success

@mcuban.bsky.social please see thread below 👇🏻for important message from Pediatric Pulmonologist @robyncohenmd.bsky.social regarding inhalers for #asthma patients and their (lack of) affordability
@mcuban.bsky.social - kids with #asthma and the families and doctors who love them could use your help.
Inhalers that kids can use to prevent asthma attacks - HFA inhalers that attach to a spacer - are so expensive that families literally can’t afford to help their kids breathe. 1/

In professional life when one fails/something doesn’t go as planned, or one is not selected for a role or promotion, this termed a “SET-BACK”
Re-frame: SET-FORWARD = situation that requires reflection & action towards a go forward plan
Failure is 🚫 failure unless it is a failure to learn
