BACKGROUND The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the accuracy and usefulness of cytological classification of fine-needle aspirates in determining the appropriate surgical treatment for thyroid lesions studied with conventional smears (CS) and liquid-based cytology (LBC) in a split-sample method. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 353 patients were studied with both CS and LBC. The c...

The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) established a standardized, category-based reporting system for thyroid fine-needle aspiration (FNA) specimens. The 2017 revision reaffirms that every thyroid FNA report should begin with one of six diagnostic categories, the names of which remain unchanged since they were first introduced: (i) nondiagnostic or unsatisfactory; (ii...

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence thermal shock on oocytes used in production vitro embryos (IVP) high productivity Holstein cows day follicular aspiration (OPU; 0), 30, 60 and 90 days before OPU. From mean temperature 0 previous days, they were classifed into comfort group (TC; up 15°C) heat stress (HS; above groups.Anegative observed viable (total grade I). pe...

Empty follicle syndrome (EFS) is a condition in which no oocytes are obtained after an apparently successful ovarian stimulation. Genuine EFS (GEFS) is differentiated from false EFS by an optimal level of human chorionic gonadotropin on the day of oocyte retrieval. Some believe that GEFS does not exist and that it is only a reflection of the margin of error attendant upon the procedure of oocyt...

We report two cases of follicular adenoma of the thyroid with extensive extracellular mucin deposition. Fine needle aspiration in Case 1 showed singly discohesive polygonal cells in a granular mucinous background. They contained abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, nuclear irregularities, and frequent nuclear inclusions with occasional bizarre mitoses. A right lobectomy was done. In Case 2, a 47-ye...

UNLABELLED The aim of our study was to assess the accuracy and limitations of ultrasound guided fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of thyroid nodules. METHODS The usg-FNAC results of 245 patients with thyroid nodules, who afterwards underwent thyroid surgery or who died, and autopsies were carried out, and compared retrospectively with cytologic results. Patients with malignant cytologic ...

Background Since the success rate in older poor-responder (POR) infertile women is expected to be extremely low irrespective of the treatment protocol, clinicians continue the search for biomarkers which may predict cases in which proceeding with follicle aspiration may be appropriate. Experimental studies on murine model suggest that SCF(Stem- Cell-Factor) produced by ovarian cumulus granulosa...

Secretory carcinoma (SC) is a rare recently described entity that has characteristics similar to those of secretory breast carcinoma. We report case 23 years old male with swelling on the parotid gland. The ultrasonography guided fine needle aspiration cytology was performed mass. Cytologically, background aspirate composed inflammatory cells admixed mucinous material. There were isolated as mu...

Abstract Aim To determine whether fine-needle aspiration, ultrasound and thyroidectomies were being performed appropriately in patients with thyroid nodules, to compare the percentage of malignant cases for each histological classification national standards. Method Patients undergoing thyroidectomy Northwest Anglia Trust (East England) between October 2021 – 2022 was identified retrospectively...

Introduction: Thyroid nodules are frequent occurrences, and whenever diagnosed, it is necessary to rule out of malignancy. Valuable diagnostic methods in this field are sonography and fine needle aspiration. In this study while investigating these two methods, we compared them with postsurgical pathologic findings. Materials and methods: This is a cross sectional, descriptive-analytical study. ...
