<b><i>Background:</i></b> Rapid on-site cytologic evaluation (ROSE) is not always available for fine needle aspiration (FNA) specimens. We have examined the relationships between the presence of “GOOP” (defined as gooey white material) on FNA aspirates, on-site adequacy (OSA), and diagnosis. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Consecutive FNA samples obtained over the study interval were included. Samples were assessed macroscopically for the presence or absence of GOOP (GOOP+ or GOOP−). GOOP+ samples were further characterized as shiny (G+<sub>S</sub>) or cheesy (G+<sub>C</sub>). Gross descriptors were correlated with OSA and final diagnoses. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Of the 204 sites biopsied, 102 were malignant, 94 benign, and 8 nondiagnostic. The presence of GOOP was highly predictive for adequacy (positive predictive value 98%). While these correlations for GOOP positivity were significant, the absence of GOOP did not rule out adequacy or malignancy. The presence of GOOP was also significantly correlated with a malignant diagnosis. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> We have prospectively demonstrated that the presence of GOOP correlates strongly with adequacy. This may be of value for those for whom ROSE is not available and, when available, may help prioritize specimens for on-site review.

This is the first documentation of vancomycin precipitation with viscoelastic in the anterior chamber of the eye. A 34-year-old white male underwent uneventful penetrating keratoplasty. Intracameral instillation of 1 mg/0.1 mL of vancomycin followed no attempts of meticulous viscoelastic irrigation. Six hours later thick white material in the anterior chamber was sedimented. The following criteria excluded the diagnosis of endophthalmitis and TASS: clear and transparent anterior chamber and vitreous body, the absence of ciliary injection and corneal oedema, and unremarkable laboratory tests’ results. This iatrogenic complication mimicking endophthalmitis does not require any specific management and should be acknowledged in guidelines for prevention and treatment of endophthalmitis. The objective of this paper is to alert colleagues to this iatrogenic complication of vancomycin mimicking endophthalmitis. Whether this condition should be labelled as positive or negative demands further investigation. As vancomycin is a time-dependent antibiotic, it is possible that this precipitate could serve as a slowly releasing drug depot and viscoelastic as a vehicle for precipitation. This being the case, investigation is needed to analyse its potential to precipitate with another dispersive and cohesive viscoelasticity.

This chapter will return to Woolf’s Three Guineas and political agency and look at Butler’s Kindred and Parable of the Sower. Thechapter has three sections, each addresses different types of political horror. First there is a return to racial and colonial terror in Euzhan Palcy’s A Dry White Season (1989), Claire Denis’s Chocolat (1988) and White Material (2009). Then the chapter takes us to the outcasts and powerful lost souls in man-eat-men environments in The Bad Batch (Ana Lily Amirpour, 2016), Tigers are not Afraid (Issa Lopez, 2017) and Songs My Brothers Taught Me (Chloé Zhao, 2015). In Atlantics (Mati Diop 2019) the sea off the coast of Senegal raises many ghosts from the past and the present. The chapter concludes with a section of eco-horror through the eyes of female directors: Spoor (Agnieska Holland 2017) is an allegory of the feminist backlash in contemporary Poland, wrapped in a hunting tale. Little Joe (Jessica Hausner 2019) and Glass Garden (Shin Sue-won 2017) are contemporary Frankenstein stories with idiosyncratic female scientists.

Background Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients rarely develop sclerosing peritonitis (SP), a severe, life-threatening condition of unknown pathogenesis. Ossification of the peritoneum (PO) is a rare occurrence, which has, however, been reported in PD patients with SP. Objective To investigate etiopathogenetic correlations between PO and SP by histopathological examination. Method We examined biopsy specimens, obtained by laparoscopy or during surgery from 36 patients with SP, from all parts of Italy in the past 8 years for evidence of peritoneal calcification or ossification. Other studies were performed on a sample of dense white material found under the parietal peritoneum of 1 patient during laparoscopy. Results Ossification of the peritoneum was found in 4/16 patients with calcifications. In addition to PO, we also found bone marrow in two specimens and arterial ossification in one case. In specimens with calcifications, and especially those with ossification, there was evidence of peritoneal inflammation with infiltration of lymphocytes, multinuclear giant cells, macrophages, and mast cells. The chemical composition of the whitish material was 85% calcium chloride and 15% hydroxyapatite. Conclusions Calcifications alone were found in 33% (12/36) of cases of SP; 11% of SP cases were complicated by both peritoneal calcification and ossification (4/36), which indicates great availability of calcium under conditions of inflammation. Where does this calcium come from? In 1 patient with PO, the quantity of calcium was enormous and its unusual composition suggested a link with the calcium contained in dialysis solution.

White Material

In May 1950 the writer received from Mr. Henry Burgess, of Spiggie, Shetland Isles, a specimen of a material which had been found by a local quarryman. The property of the material which had particularly attracted attention was that when it absorbed water it became soft and pliable and looked like wet leather. The specimen, measuring approximately 4x2X1 inches, had a brownish iron-stained outer skin, and showed slight signs of foliation parallel to its length. Internally it consisted of a white to greyish-white compact material, in which were embedded portions of the syenitie country-rock. This white material has been shown to consist dominantly of the mineral palygorskite (attapulgite).

Prototheca organisms were observed in both eyes of a collie dog. The dog was blind, and the vitreal space of each eye was filled with gray-white material. Nongranulomatous endophthalmitis was seen in both eyes and in one eye posterior synechia and hemorrhage were observed. The retinas were totally detached by exudate. Various amounts of exudate consisting mostly of protothecal cells were present within and above the choroid. Also, exudate teeming with organisms was attached to the choroidal aspect of the detached retinas. In one eye infection extended into and about the optic nerve.

Epidermoid cyst was seen in the tenth thoracic vertebral body of a 4-year-old female Samoyed dog and in the terminal phalanx of the fifth digit of the left forepaw of a 5-year-old spayed mongrel dog. The cysts contained caseous, gray-white material and were lined with layers of squamous, granular or basal cells filled with keratin. Cholesterol clefts were embedded in the vertebral and phalangeal bones.
