Can semi-automated image cytometry on induced sputum become a screening tool for lung cancer? Evaluation of quantitative semi-automated sputum cytometry on radon- and uranium-exposed workers.
The correlations between semi-automated sputum cytometry (ASC), conventional cytology and the final diagnosis was investigated in industrially-exposed workers. Slides of sputum samples from 201 former uranium miners with silicosis, 100 patients with asbestosis, 103 workers resected for lung cancer, and 200 controls (50% smokers), were stained using the Papanicolaou (Pap) method and the Feulgen ...
متن کاملIncremental value of pulmonary function and sputum DNA image cytometry in lung cancer risk prediction.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Accurate prediction of lung cancer risk is of value for individuals, clinicians, and researchers. The aims of this study were to characterize the associations between pulmonary function and sputum DNA image cytometry (SDIC) and lung cancer, and their contributions to risk prediction. During 1990 to 2007, 2,596 high-risk individuals wer...
متن کاملAutomated Sputum Cytometry for Detection of Intraepithelial Neoplasias in the Lung
BACKGROUND Despite the benefits of early lung cancer detection, no effective strategy for early screening and treatment exists, partly due to a lack of effective surrogate biomarkers. Our novel sputum biomarker, the Combined Score (CS), uses automated image cytometric analysis of ploidy and nuclear morphology to detect subtle intraepithelial changes that often precede lung tumours. METHODS 22...
متن کاملCan heart rate variability become a screening tool for anesthesia-related hypotension?
H EART rate variability (HRV) analysis as a diagnostic tool has been available for decades (1), and many have also learned about modern HRV analysis as a predictive or prognostic instrument for cardiological patients with diagnoses such as congestive heart failure or post-myocardial infarction (2). Numerous recent publications in the field of anesthesiology have presented findings concerning HR...
