Atypia of undetermined significance (AUS) or follicular lesion (FLUS) Bethesda system for reporting thyroid cytopathology has emerged as most controversial category due to its heterogeneity and inconsistent usage. Initially associated risk malignancy was estimated be about 5-15%, but eventually different results have been obtained across institutions variable follow-ups interpretation. The present study conducted evaluate the rate along with appropriate management in this category.The...

It was intended to study angiogenesis different hematological malignancies by quantifying expression VEGF and MVD bone marrow biopsy along serum levels observing its change following therapy. The included 50 cases which were followed for one month after initial therapy 30 controls. All them subjected immunostaining anti-VEGF VIII antibodies on the...

Objectives. The present study was conducted to categorise the morphological features on bone marrow aspirate cytology into common, uncommon, and atypical in a nonendemic region which would be helpful clinching an early correct diagnosis especially clinically unsuspected cases. Methods. were categorized cases of leishmaniasis from non endemic region. Results. Out total 27 cases, 77.7% residents places at height 500 m or above fever most common presentation followed by hepatosplenomegaly....

The differentiation of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) with other causes hemophagocytosis is essential as HLH life-threatening condition and requires definite clinical biochemical criteria for its diagnosis.The present study was conducted to on bone marrow aspirates observe if there any difference examination between non cases showing hemophagocytosis.The reviewed all the aspirate evidence in which at least three smears 500 nucleated cells were observed every case. provisionally...

Transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) has an established role in diagnosis of hilar and mediastinal lesions. Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) TBNA smears can determine the adequacy that obviate need for repeat procedures, thus avoiding added cost. There is paucity data from India showing efficacy cost-effectiveness ROSE. Hence, this study was carried out to assess efficacy, feasibility cost implications ROSE assisted TBNA.Forty consecutive patients undergoing were enrolled performed on...

Recently, platelet indices have been evaluated to determine their utility in knowing the mechanism of thrombocytopenia. This study was conducted analyze role mean volume (MPV) as a guide or an indicator for bone marrow disease thrombocytopenic patients. All patients with thrombocytopenia various causes followed by examination were divided into two groups, one group and another without disease, depending on pathophysiology. The MPV statistically analyzed both groups assess its these Mean...

Bone marrow metastasis is an important presentation of solid tumors affecting their prognosis and management. The present study was conducted to analyze the hematological indicators which can predict along with comparison bone aspirate, touch imprint trephine biopsy, define effective method for its early diagnosis. showed that there statistical significant difference in mean platelet volume (MPV) distribution width (PDW) between cases controls (P<0·001) MPV at cut off <8 fl significantly...

A 38-year-old woman who presented with unexplained fever and pancytopenia was subjected to a bone marrow examination. Her aspirate smear showed no obvious pathological finding except for the presence of hemophagocytosis mild plasmacytosis. In view hemophagocytosis, thorough examination conducted revealed histoplasmosis. She advised undergo evaluation her immunological status, she tested positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. This case highlights that in may be an early sign...

ABSTRACT: Penile involvement was seen in 19.5% of 261 patients, aged 11 to 30 years, with tinea cruris. It more common patients under the age (20 years (p &lt; 0.05). The increased incidence is probably related use langota. a semiocclusive undergarment that may favor growth dermatophytes.

To evaluate the addition of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) on compressive strength antibacterial activity conventional glass-ionomer cement (GIC).TiO2 enriched GIC was prepared by adding 3% TiO2 (w/w) into powder component GIC. CPC containing developed incorporating 1% powder. Samples were segregated three groups: with nanoparticles, unmodified Compressive assessed using universal testing machine cylindrical specimens made from each material....

Image-guided fine-needle aspiration has emerged as an effective diagnostic tool for precise diagnosis of deep-seated lesions. Although occasional studies have made attempt to classify the gallbladder carcinoma on cytology, literature lacks standardized cytological nomenclature system used it. The present study was conducted role cytology (FNAC) in lesions with cytomorphological classification.The included cases image-guided FNAC over a period 3½ years. An categorize basis architectural and...
