Objective and Impact Statement . We present a fully automated hematological analysis framework based on single-channel (single-wavelength), label-free deep-ultraviolet (UV) microscopy that serves as fast, cost-effective alternative to conventional hematology analyzers. Introduction Hematological is essential for the diagnosis monitoring of several diseases but requires complex systems operated ...

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...

A malarial infection is diagnosed and monitored by screening microscope images of blood smears for parasiteinfected red blood cells. Millions of blood slides are manually screened for parasites every year, which is a tedious and errorprone process, and which largely depends on the expertise of the microscopists. We have developed a software to perform this task on a smartphone, using machine le...

We describe a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay that detects avian malarial infection across divergent host species and parasite lineages representing both Plasmodium spp. and Haemoproteus spp. The assay is based on nucleotide primers designed to amplify a 286-bp fragment of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) coding sequence within the 6-kb mitochondrial DNA malaria genome. The rRNA malarial assay outper...

Swine pasteurellosis was observed in descript as well as non-descript pigs of Chhattisgarh, India. Affected animals exhibited pyrexia, dullness, staggering gait, anorexia, serous nasal discharge and dyspnoea. Case fatality rate was 95% in adult animals and 100% in piglets. Typical lesions of oedematous swellings noted in the pharyngeal region, these swellings spread to the ventral cervical regi...

Immunophenotyping refers to the application of antibodies specific for differentiation antigens of leukocytes to identify lineages of these cells present in reactive (inflammatory) or neoplastic diseases involving the immune system. Immunophenotyping is an objective adjunct to conventional morphologic assessment. Immunophenotyping can be performed on fluids (such as blood, bone marrow and tissu...

Malaria continues to be a problem for children returning or immigrating to industrialized countries from tropical regions. Proper diagnosis begins with clinical suspicion. In nonimmune children, malaria typically presents with high fever that might be accompanied by chills and headache. Symptoms and signs may be more subtle in partially immune children, and anemia and hepatosplenomegaly may als...

A 60-year-old patient came to the IIER due abdominal pain for 2 days, associated with flu cough. The treated schistosomiasis twice without effects. During physical examination and complementary exams, she presented ecchymosis in midline of abdomen, normal platelet level, giant hematoma rectus abdominais muscle periportal changes. careful retrospective analysis shows inconsistency between initia...

Background and Objectives: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is an established out- patient procedure used in primary diagnosis of palpable thyroid lesions. A modified technique fine needle capillary sampling (FNCS) obviates the need of suction, is less painful, patient friendly and reported to overcome the problem of inadequate and bloody specimens. The aim of our study was to compare the...

Abstract The objectives of this study were (1) to analyze the skills students who took Microtechnical course in making microscopic preparations during Covid-19 pandemic, and (2) factors supporting Microtechnic preparations. This type survey research, a population 134 courses even semester 2019/2020. Students’ are measured by performance observation sheets which then categorized. Factors student...
