Study Type – Therapy (case series) Level of Evidence 4 What's known on the subject? and What does study add? Pathological stage, lymph node metastasis tumour grade have been established as prognostic factors for upper‐tract urothelial carcinoma, but there are few studies to date assessing location within ureter a factor. There also comparing surgical approaches radical nephroureterectomy (NU), partial ureterectomy endoscopic resection (ENDO) with regard oncological outcomes. This did not...
Cervical cancer remains a global health problem especially in remote areas of developing countries which have limited resources for cervical screening. In this study, we evaluated the performance low-cost, smartphone attachable paper-based microscope when used classifying images cytology.Cervical cytology samples included: 10 Normal, Low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), High-grade (HSIL), and Malignant Pap Smears. The agreement between conventional microscopy vs. Foldscope...
Abstract Background This study was conducted to evaluate the diagnostic utility of cell block material in fine needle aspiration (FNA) thyroid nodules. Design A total 242 need aspirations (FNAs) were performed between January 2015 and December 2015. Of those, all consecutive FNA cases with blocks ( n = 140) from 129 patients (age: 58.9 ± 12.8 years) are included this study. Cytology slides reviewed for adequacy assessment based on Bethesda System Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) then...
Medical students express frustration that they cannot assemble a comprehensive big picture of how the immune system responds to microbe and integration basic science knowledge, especially across disciplines, with clinical knowledge is difficult. Yet medical student competency requires application mechanisms inform diagnosis treatment.A diagram for response extracellular microbes was previously published by MedEdPORTAL in 2011. This has been updated here as narrated audiovisual module...

To the Editor, Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is most widely used primary treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). TACE increases in-situ dwell time and concentration of drug through vascular occlusion by drug-eluting beads (DEB). DEB consist injectable polymeric microspheres calibrated size that can be loaded with various antineoplastic solutions.[1] We describe here appearance doxorubicin eluding on cytology in a 60-year-old African-American male past...
Medical students are introduced to skin rashes during their preclinical years and often express difficulty in differentiating the underlying mechanisms. The lessons regarding immunologically mediated largely forgotten by time begin diagnosing treating clinical rotations. This module aims enhance student understanding of immunologic concepts integrating material across disciplines, contextualizing within a scenario, providing opportunity for self-testing.A diagram illustrating immune...
Medical schools must expand their teaching strategies to address a new generation of medical students and ensure growth into lifelong, self-directed learners. Integration across basic science disciplines packaged together with clinical medicine produces learning materials that better enable achieve these goals.We created narrated audiovisual module illustrating the foundational sciences presentation surrounding immune responses viral infections. We integrated immunology, microbiology,...
The majority of pancreatic tumours are epithelial and primary in origin, although occasionally secondary from kidney, lung, breast gastrointestinal tract can involve the pancreas. Discussed here, is fine needle aspiration cytology a mass 59‐year‐old male.
