From Sept. 30: Lung injury associated with vaping — the use of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) — has been recognized in the medical literature, and a case series of such injuries is now published in the Journal. If vaping is the proximal cause of lung injury, the mechanism leading to such injury is not certain. Unlike traditional cigarettes, ENDS use solvents to heat and aerosolize the flavorants (known as “juices”), which consist of various aldehydes and alcohols, and complications can arise as the mixing and aerosolization of these components create new compounds.

The FSP attended the CAP 2019 Meeting in Orlando, Florida this past weekend and enjoyed a very informative and engaging meeting with pathologists from all over the country. The CAP House of Delegates Meeting on Saturday provided a comprehensive update from CAP with a leadership panel, roundtable on diversity and an advocacy update.
In the afternoon, FSP President Dr. Morton Levitt participated in a panel discussion moderated by the CAP Speaker of the House of Delegates Kathryn T. Knight, MD, FCAP with other state pathology society Presidents on the challenges and success of state pathology societies. The key takeaway message from the panel discussion was the importance of being involved in your state pathology society and how an engaged and motivated leadership and membership can build a strong society.
All delegates from the state of Florida were seated together during the House of Delegates meeting and many gathered together for a photo.
