The present study was conducted to assess whether imprint cytology can help in rapid diagnosis of ovarian neoplasm and thus facilitate individualized treatment. Aims of our study were to establish the validity and reliability of Imprint cytology in intraoperative diagnosis of ovarian tumour and to compare the significance of cytological diagnosis with histopathological report. Ours is an Instit...

Background. Soft tissue tumors are defined as nonepithelial extraskeletal tissue of the body exclusive of the reticuloendothelial system, glia, and supporting tissue of various parenchymal organs. The absence of recognizable tissue architectural patterns in cytological preparation makes diagnosis by FNAC more difficult. Aims. To assess the utility of FNAC in diagnosing soft tissue tumors and to...

Carcinoma of the cervix is one of the most common malignancies. Papanicolaou (Pap) smear tests have reduced mortality by up to 70%. Nevertheless their interpretation is notoriously difficult with high false-negative rates and frequently fatal consequences. We have addressed this problem by using affinity-purified antibodies against human proteins that regulate DNA replication, namely Cdc6 and M...

Background. FNAC is a useful method for evaluating suspicious salivary glands lesions due to its low cost, minimum morbidity, rapid turnaround time, high specificity, and sensitivity. Aim. To know the frequency of the salivary gland lesions and cytohistological correlation in the Jhansi region, Uttar Pradesh, India. Material and Methods. In present study 124 cases were included and cytohistolog...

Background: Numerous studies indicate that Papanicolaou smears contain better cellular material when the technique for collecting the sample employs the Zelsmyn Cytobrush TIl. Few studies, however, have examined its ability to increase the percentage of abnormal Papanicolaou smear results in actual clinical practice. Methods: This study looked at 7999 Papanicolaou smears done by 46 primary care...

Abstract Background To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of a novel CellDetect staining technique, compared with fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), and urine cytology, diagnosis urothelial carcinoma (UC). Methods A total 264 patients suspicious UC were enrolled this study. All tissue specimens collected by biopsy or surgery. Urine specimen was obtained for examinations prior to surgica...

PURPOSE Current medical training recommends obtaining cervical cytological specimens without the use of lubricating gel. The purpose of this study was to determine whether water-soluble lubricant gel affects cytologic outcomes in the screening Papanicolaou smear and patient comfort during vaginal speculum examination. METHODS The study was a randomized controlled trial performed at David Gran...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of 0.75% metronidazole vaginal gel with no treatment in patients who have had a minimally abnormal Papanicolaou smear. METHODS One hundred forty-five patients whose initial Papanicolaou smears were limited by inflammation or benign cellular changes, reactive cellular changes, or atypical squamous cells of undetermined significan...

Background: Different histochemical stains have been applied to demonstrate the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of cigarette smoking on cells. Feulgen Papanicolaou were most popular nuclear abnormalities. The aim this study was compare in demonstrating exfoliated oral mucosa Methods: A total 31 smokers 15 non-smokers included case-control study. Using a wooden spatula, two samples taken from ea...
