Used for various high-tech applications, cerium is an important rare earth element (REE), and its sorption on solids also considering purification environmental radioactive waste disposal. In view of the industrial terms, it to remove Ce3+ ions from aqueous solution. Magnetite magnetic olive pomace nanocomposite were thus fabricated by a partial reduction co-precipitation approach. The structur...

Morphological diagnosis by May-Gruenwald-Giemsa (MGG) staining is an essential method in clinical and laboratory hematology. In addition, the detection of chromosomal aberration by G-band methods, the phenotyping of surface markers by Flowcytometry (FCM) or genetic diagnosis by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and Southern blott...

AIM We aimed to investigate the contribution of the touch imprint cytology (TIC) of core needle biopsies (CNBs) to the diagnosis in spinal lesions. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty cases with spinal CNB and TIC were included in the study. Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) and May-Grunwald- Giemsa (MGG) stained TIC slides and CNB of each case were blindly reevaluated by two pathologists. TIC and CNB findi...

Cell cannibalism is believed to be an indicator of high-grade aggressive cancers with increased metastatic potential. It denotes both anaplastic grade and invasiveness and is valuable in assessing tumor behavior. The present study was a 2-year retrospective and 1-year prospective study conducted in the Department of Pathology, Government Medical College, Jammu. PAP and MGG stained smears of eff...

Cytodiagnosis of bony lesions are mainly done where cortical destruction and soft tissue infiltration is evident. Cytodiagnosis of osteolytic lesions with intact cortex is an uncommon procedure, and open bone biopsy is the preferred diagnostic modality. We have done a prospective cytopathological study of such lesions on patients who had come to a Tertiary Teaching Hospital in between February ...

Here, we have synthesized Ag2O3-ZnO nanocones (NCs) by a wet-chemical route using reducing agents at low temperature. The structural, optical and morphological properties of Ag2O3-ZnO NCs were investigated by several conventional techniques such as powder XRD, XPS, FESEM, XEDS, FTIR and UV/vis. spectroscopy. The analytical parameters of prepared NCs were also calculated for a selective detectio...

A63 year-old previously healthy man presented with marked lymphocytosis. Physical examination showed splenomegaly but no adenopathy. The blood count was 38.53109 leukocytes with 88% lymphoid cells, 170 g/L hemoglobin and 2463109/L platelets. The lymphoid cells were large with a single thick-rimmed nucleolus in a round regular nucleus. The chromatin was moderately dense and the cytoplasm was pal...

Recent advances of powerful new technologies such as DNA microarrays provide a mass of gene expression data on a genomic scale. One of the most important projects in post-genome-era is the system identification of gene expression networks by using these observed data. We previously proposed an efficient numerical optimization technique by using time-course data of system components, which is ba...

E-mail: [email protected] A63-year old man was referred to our Institute in 1995 because of asthenia, dyspnea and melena. In 1975 he had been found to have myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia; after a few months, because of a rapid enlargemen...

A 71-year-old man with a medical history of gastric adenocarcinoma treated by surgery 2 years ago was hospitalized in the intensive care unit for septic shock due to Streptococcus gallolyticus. Before septic shock, he presented intense and unexplained back and pelvis pain. Blood cell count findings were hemoglobin 8.9 g/dL, platelets 36 3 10/L, and white blood cells 9.87 3 10/L with erythromyel...
