Isolation and two-step classification of normal white blood cells in peripheral blood smears
INTRODUCTION An automated system for differential white blood cell (WBC) counting based on morphology can make manual differential leukocyte counts faster and less tedious for pathologists and laboratory professionals. We present an automated system for isolation and classification of WBCs in manually prepared, Wright stained, peripheral blood smears from whole slide images (WSI). METHODS A s...
متن کاملEstimation of platelet count in unstained peripheral blood smears in comparison with stained smears and evaluation of its efficacy.
Assessment of platelet count is an important diagnostic parameter in haematology. Automated blood cell counters have largely replaced the manual method. However, all abnormal platelet counts are verified in Leishman's stained peripheral blood smear. Platelets also can be identified in the unstained blood smears. The objective of this study is to compare the unstained peripheral blood smears wit...
متن کاملEffect of famotidine on radiation induced apoptosis in human peripheral blood leukocytes
ABSTRACTBackground: Radioprotective effects of famotidine, an antagonist of H2 receptor clinically used for peptic ulcer treatment, was previously shown on radiation-induced micronuclei and chromosomal aberration in human peripheral blood lymphocytes and mouse bone marrow cells. This study was conducted to investigate radioprotective property of famotidine against radiation induced apoptosis i...
متن کاملCandida albicans blastoconidia in peripheral blood smears from non-neutropenic surgical patients.
An 80 year old woman developed fever 11 days after volvulus surgery. A peripheral blood smear showed numerous yeast cells--both extraleucocytic and intraleucocytic--as well as leucoagglutination. The fungal elements included blastospores, pseudohyphae, and germ tubes. Two days later, blood cultures yielded Candida albicans, Enterobacter aerogenes, and Staphlococcus aureus. The patient had no me...
متن کاملSplenic B cell lymphoma with lymphocyte clusters in peripheral blood smears.
EDTA induced clumping of lymphoid cells, both benign and malignant, in peripheral blood samples has been reported only rarely. Such clustering presents the laboratory and pathologist with unique difficulties in the accurate diagnosis of these disorders. A case of low grade B cell splenic lymphoma is presented with lymphocyte clumping in smears made from EDTA anticoagulated peripheral blood, the...
