Collaboration vs competition: how we can work together for stronger results
As the owner of an aesthetic practice, it can be easy to get bogged down in competing against rival companies. However, collaborating with businesses, rather than competing with them, can be a much better use of your time. Mara Shorr and Jay Shorr discuss how to build connections that can be beneficial for everyone involved, turning potential rivals into partners and friends </jats:p

Rapid staining with the modified gill-shorr method for reliable, rapid bronchoscopic diagnosis
Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy is one of the most useful techniques for the diagnosis of pulmonary neoplasms. Whereas the diagnostic efficiency for visible lesions is satisfactory, the diagnostic rate on small, peripheral pulmonary lesions with bronchoscopy under fluoroscopic guidance remains unsatisfactory.1 We developed a new staining method for cytologic specimens, using modified Gill-Shorr stain, that enables us to interpret the material immediately. Table I compares the modified Gill-Shorr stain with the original, showing the steps in the 2 staining methods. The total time to complete modified Gill-Shorr staining is about 60 seconds, down from 3\u964 minutes, and only limited space is required for staining. Figure 1 shows a typical example of staining with modified Gill-Shorr and by Papanicolaou stain (Figure 1). Modified Gill-Shorr stain produces stain quality very similar to that of Papanicolaou stain

Comparison of eosin-thiazin and Papanicolaou-Shorr staining for endometrial cytologies of broodmares. Technical note
INTRODUCTION: Exfoliative endometrial cytology is an easy and valuable diagnostic tool for the detection of inflammatory processes of the uterus that correlates well to culture results. The practical use of this procedure is limited due to the time-consuming Papanicolaou-Shorr staining technique. In this study the suitability of the rapid eosin-thiazin staining for endometrial smears was investigated.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Sample collection was carried out with a guarded culture swab (Knudsen-catheter) in 27 broodmares during routine gynaecological examination. Two smears were prepared from each collection. One was stained according to Papanicolaou-Shorr and the second using the eosin-thiazin method (Hemacolor®, Merck). Specimens with more than 0.5% neutrophil granulocytes were classified as positive for endometritis. The presentability of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN), proportion of positive/negative samples, as well as the PMN contents were compared between the two staining methods.
RESULTS: PMN were easily identifiable in both specimens. In Papanicolaou-Shorr stained smears 10 samples showed > 0.5% neutrophil granulocytes (37%), whereas in the eosin-thiazin staining 12 samples were positive (44%). Thus results corresponded in 25 mares (95%).
CONCLUSION: Eosin-thiazin staining is a suitable staining method for endometrial smears of broodmares, which surpassed Papanicolaou-Shorr method in two cases.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The use of eosin-thiazin staining provides a considerable gain of time and renders endometrial cytology more attractive for routine stud farm practice
Exchanges & Returns: First Place Our Holiday Fiction Winners
JON SHORR, teaches English and communications design at the University of Baltimore. He has written magazine
articles, but this is his first published fiction. His winning entry grew, he says, from his interest in different narrative
