From the experiences in dealing with 2591 cases of transthoracic and transabdominal fine-needle aspiration biopsies (1967-1978), we present our views on value this relatively new diagnostic method to clinical practice. Virtually any accessible localized lesion organ body can be investigated by biopsy, which is considered most useful patients suspected malignant disease. Transthoracic biopsy may provide information otherwise obtainable only thoracotomy or laparotomy. It an inexpensive safe...
A simple method of percutaneous fine needle aspiration biopsy malignant lesions in and around the pancreas following radiological localization is described. Biopsy was performed 28 patients. Twenty-three were eventually considered to have disease positive 19 these (83%), including 16 18 patients with carcinoma (89%). One patient developed an exacerbation pancreatitis procedure. Surgery became unnecessary 5 biopsies. From results from a review literature on biopsy, we believe that this...
Forty patients with suspected malignant disease of the liver underwent percutaneous fine-needle aspiration biopsy radioisotope scintigraphic and fluoroscopic guidance. The needle was aimed at focal defects identified on scan several passes were made. When diffusely abnormal, widely sampled multiple passes. Thirty eventually considered to have positive in 28 (93%) these patients, including 25 26 metastases (96%). There two false-positive results one minor complication. In 24 conventional...
From 1970 to 1977, 101 patients with bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma were admitted the Toronto General Hospital. Cytology preparations from 97 reviewed and analyzed in correlation biologic behavior of tumours. The value cytologic diagnosis was reassessed. It appears that routine cytology methods limited investigation a peripheral solitary tumor therefore, percutaneous fine needle aspiration positive results 92% cases examined, only useful examination for this type lesion. For multicentric...
From 1978-1980, 20 patients with radiographically occult squamous cell carcinoma of the lung were admitted to Toronto General Hospital. Among them, five had in situ carcinoma, three microinvasive and 12 early invasive. All cases first diagnosed by cytologic examinations sputum, localized bronchoscopy, been verified histologically. It appears that a diagnosis could not be established on basis single abnormal or an occasional group cells, but reached putting together all findings observed...
Malignant pleural mesothelioma is a refractory tumor with increasing incidence. In the present study, we established six cell lines possessing two allele deletions of p16(INK4A) gene and one deletion neurofibromatosis type 2 gene, MM16, MM21, MM26, MM35, MM46 MM56, from effusion fluids or surgically resected tumors Japanese patients. MM26 cells failed to develop in BALB/c-nude mice following subcutaneous inoculation. MM16 MM35 slowly generated at site inoculation mice, but lost expression...
This study focuses on the development of electrical power forecasting based electricity usage in Wuzhou, China. To develop a model, important features need to be identified. Therefore, this investigates performance feature selection method, focusing mutual information as filter and random forest wrapper-based selection. From experiment, six have been chosen, whereby both methods chose almost identical features. Later, selected are trained tested with common machine learning models, namely...
