Juan Rosai, the "Maradona" of surgical pathology, played a role not only as a diagnostician but also as a researcher, a consultant and a teacher, distinguishing himself as a real icon at all levels of modern pathology. He was an innovative promoter of emerging technologies including digital pathology. These few lines commemorate the digital side of the "Maestro" Juan Rosai from a junior's perspective highlighting how Rosai supported digital pathology and remembering that, according to his own words, digital pathology "will revolutionize the field of pathology, if it is not doing that already".

Review
Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonias (IIPs) are a heterogeneous group of the broader category of Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs), pathologically characterized by the distortion of lung parenchyma by interstitial inflammation and/or fibrosis. The American Thoracic Society (ATS)/European Respiratory Society (ERS) international multidisciplinary consensus classification of the IIPs was published in 2002 and then updated in 2013, with the authors emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis of IIPs. The histological evaluation of IIPs is challenging, and different types of IIPs are classically associated with specific histopathological patterns. However, morphological overlaps can be observed, and the same histopathological features can be seen in totally different clinical settings. Therefore, the pathologist's aim is to recognize the pathologic-morphologic pattern of disease in this clinical setting, and only after multi-disciplinary evaluation, if there is concordance between clinical and radiological findings, a definitive diagnosis of specific IIP can be established, allowing the optimal clinical-therapeutic management of the patient.

Review
Clinical-pathologic examination of samples collected from more or less preserved body compartments during necropsy may provide important information and contribute to the list of differential diagnoses without corresponding patho-morphologic findings. It furthermore allows for diagnoses that otherwise may only be achieved clinically. Our review presents diagnostic approaches in examining aqueous humor, urine, ruminal fluid as well as other sample types characterized by a delayed onset of auto- and heterolytic artefacts. An overview is provided concerning post mortem (p. m.) sample types and collection methods with a special focus on cattle. Furthermore, clinical-pathologic methods and parameters are presented and their validity discussed. A summary of pre-analytical caveats relevant for the final interpretation of findings is made available. Based on long-term experience in p. m. clinical pathology as well as literature information we provide practical approaches for daily routine diagnostics as well as for specific case scenarios. Especially aqueous humor, ruminal fluid, and urine are easily accessible sample types. The collection of high-quality cerebrospinal fluid allows for electrolyte and metabolite analyses. Post-mortem clinical pathology may provide an indication concerning the cause of death in specific cases e. g., recumbency and death due to hypocalcemia or hypomagnesemia. This is especially relevant in cases in which ante mortem clinical pathology investigations are hindered by rapid death of the animal as well as in cases in which the gross pathology findings cannot explain the clinical findings. Post-mortem clinical pathology may also be helpful when a clinical examination of the diseased animal is hampered. During necropsy for example uremia and ketosis may be detected based on their characteristic smell; however, the use of clinical chemical analyses allows the verification by an assessment of the metabolites in these cases. Post-mortem clinical pathology may hence help in establishing a diagnosis, narrow down the list of differentials or even reveal relevant differential diagnoses for the first time during the diagnostic process. Our review does not claim to be exhaustive; however, it serves to encourage the pathologist to make use of the so far rarely employed ancillary analyses as well as to promote the collaboration between veterinary and clinical pathologists.

One of the most wellknown German pathologists of the twentieth century, Walter Büngeler became internationally known for his elemental research on leukemia and the pathology of tumors. In 1936, Büngeler left Nazi Germany for Brazil, but returned to Germany in 1942. After the war ended in 1945, Büngeler portrayed himself as a political victim who had been expelled first by the National Socialists and later by the Brazilian government, and in fact, he was able to successfully perpetuate this image and emerged unscathed from his de-Nazification procedure, continuing on to a successful university career with stations in Kiel and Munich as both professor and dean, as well as a term as DGP president. Up until very recently, Büngeler was portrayed in literature as a victim and critic of Nazism. Does this self-portrayal stand up to a critical examination of the facts? It is precisely this question that is the focus of this article. The analysis draws upon primary sources; namely, Büngeler's own claims from a curriculum vitae filled out in 1943 as well as his de-Nazification file from the post-war period. This article exposes significant contradictions between these two sources. The statements Büngeler made in his de-Nazification file can be verified as false in all relevant aspects. Nevertheless, Büngeler managed to create a wide-reaching and successful version of himself; a picture which persisted until only very recently.
