Abstract: A client device presents a user interface including a macro entry field for defining a macro indicator from a plurality of macro indicators and transmits the macro indicator. A server stores a database of macro-based diagnoses, each macro-based diagnosis associated with one or more elements of an accession, and one or more specimens associated with the accession. The server also receives the macro indicator from the client device, retrieves an initial diagnosis from the database of macro-based diagnoses responsive to the macro indicator, and transmits the initial diagnosis. The client device, receives the initial diagnosis, pre-populates one or more text boxes on the user interface with information from the initial diagnosis, and enables the user to edit the pre-populated one or more text boxes.

Abstract: Computing systems and computer-implemented methods for managing pathology lab workflow include storing a plurality of system objects, each system object representing an item to be tracked in the pathology lab workflow, the plurality of system objects including objects selected from the group consisting of accession, patient, and tissue samples. A plurality of system object maps are also stored, each system object map designating transitions between operations being tracked within the pathology lab workflow. The method also includes performing a multi-relational analysis of two or more system objects applied to one or more system object maps to identify a next state in the pathology lab for an item being tracked and outputting to a user the next state in the pathology lab for the item being tracked.

Abstract: Decoys that resemble animals, such as birds, for example, and methods of making such decoys are provided. In an embodiment, a decoy can include a rigid member, a non-rigid body comprising an inner portion and an exterior portion, and a fan configured to direct air toward the inner portion of the non-rigid body, wherein the non-rigid body and the fan are attached to the rigid member. In an embodiment, a decoy can also include a head and neck portion. In an embodiment, a solar panel and/or a battery can provide power for the fan. In an embodiment, the fan can be manipulated between, on, off, and modulate settings using a manually operated switch and/or a remote control. In an embodiment, the fan can be configured to rotate and/or move side-to-side while directing air toward the inner portion of the non-rigid body.
