Can pathology be learned through audio?
A new Academic Pathology paper says yes.
PathPod reached 95K downloads across 70
countries, and 30 pathology podcasts are part
of this shift. Full paper in comments.

What a pleasant surprise soundtrack to this morning’s workout. Always a delight hearing from @MeredithKHerman and learning more about her colleagues on workforce development. Thanks, @PathPod!!

Pathology needs talent—not labels.
We’re talking DOs in pathology, breaking barriers, and what it really takes to get here. 🎙️
Thank you @PathPod for discussing this important topic!
Unfiltered. Honest. Data-driven.

A 12-year-old boy is brought to the clinic because of facial puffiness and dark, “cola-colored” urine that began 3 days ago. Ten days ago he completed a course of amoxicillin for culture-confirmed group A streptococcal pharyngitis.
Vital signs: temperature 37 °C, pulse 80 beats/min, respiratory rate 16 breaths/min, blood pressure 135/85 mm Hg (consistent with stage 1 hypertension, ≥95th percentile for age, sex, and height), oxygen saturation 98 % on room air.
Physical examination shows periorbital edema and mild bilateral pedal pitting edema; the remainder is unremarkable.
Urinalysis: 3 blood, 2 protein, negative leukocyte esterase; microscopy reveals numerous dysmorphic erythrocytes and many red blood cell casts.
Serum creatinine: 1.1 mg/dL (reference 0.3–0.7 mg/dL).
Serum albumin: 3.2 g/dL (reference 3.5–5.0 g/dL).
Estimated GFR: 75 mL/min/1.73 m² (reference > 90 mL/min/1.73 m²).
Complement levels: C3 = 55 mg/dL (low); C4 normal.
Anti-streptolysin O titer: elevated.
Antinuclear antibody and ANCA: negative.
Renal biopsy findings
• Light microscopy – enlarged, hypercellular glomeruli with numerous neutrophils and obliteration of capillary lumina.
• Electron microscopy – large, irregular subepithelial electron-dense “hump-like” deposits.
Which immunofluorescence pattern on the renal biopsy is most consistent with the glomerulonephritis in this patient?
**Absence of immune deposits with diffuse podocyte foot-process effacement**
**Linear deposition of IgG along the entire glomerular basement membrane**
**Granular deposition of C3 and immunoglobulins (predominantly IgG with lesser IgM) along glomerular capillary walls and mesangium ("starry-sky" pattern)**
**Predominant mesangial deposition of IgA with C3 co-deposition**
