The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of the mixture of carbol fuchsin and alcian blue stain in the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori (HP) and goblet cell intestinal metaplasia (IM) in comparison to the more commonly used Giemsa and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stains. Pathological blocks of gastric tissues obtained from January 2006 to December 2007 were recut and processed for Giem...

Malaria, a febrile illness mostly confined to the tropical countries is transmitted by bite of infected female Anopheles mosquito. In 2015 alone, 88% of the malaria burden and 90% deaths due to malaria were confined to the African and Asian countries. Although number of tests are available for rapid diagnosis and screening for malaria, peripheral blood smear examination remains the gold standar...

BACKGROUND The present study was conducted to assess whether cytology can help in rapid diagnosis of ovarian neoplasms and thus facilitate individualised treatment. METHODS A prospective investigation was performed on 30 cases of suspected ovarian neoplasms. Imprint smears were made intraperatively from fresh samples from various representative areas, and stained with Leishman Giemsa for air-...

Aim: A reliable diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is important in clinical practice and research. The aim this study was to compare the sensitivity specificity Giemsa stain with hematoxylin eosin (H&E), Toluidine blue, Gimenez Warthin-Starry detection gastric biopsy also immunohistochemistry (IHC) H. organism biopsy. Method: retrospective cross-sectional included 200 formalin-fix...

This study was undertaken to evaluate the compatibility of Giemsa staining protocol with the comet assay. We showed, for the first time, that DNA comets can be visualized and analyzed using Giemsa staining. We generated DNA damage dose response curves for human peripheral blood lymphocytes exposed to X-ray radiation using the comet assay with either SybrGreen I or Giemsa stain. The dose respons...

Figure 1. The top image shows a Mott cell. The bottom left image shows a similar Mott cell packed with spherical cytoplasmic inclusions. The bottom right image shows a plasmacytoid lymphocyte with deep basophilic cytoplasm (Leishman stain; magnification 1000 x).

who were subsequently attacked. The formula of the vaccine now employed in the Army, and also by the Ministry of Health, has been increased from 60 millions as regards the B. influenza, with streptococci 80 millions and pneumococci 200 millions in 1 c.c. (article influenza)." Sir W. Leishman's observation regarding the subject can be summarised from his article published in the Lancet, 1920, i,...
