Diagnostic accuracy of fine needle aspiration cytology of salivary glands
Fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology of suspected salivary gland lesions has an established role in preoperative diagnosis and management of patients. However diverse morphological patterns and overlapping features make it a challenging job, to give a precise diagnosis, at times. The aim of the present study is to investigate the accuracy...
The role of Immunohistochemistry in diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma subtypes.
To determine the validity of immunohistochemistry in classifying Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) subtypes. Methods: Eighty-three cases of RCC were retrieved. Immunohistochemical staining of Vimentin, CD10, CK7, P504s, Parvalbumin, TFE3, and CD117 were done by using tissue microarray blocks. RCC subtypes were placed and compared with the previous diagnosis....
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and evaluation in paraffin-embedded lymph nodes
Tuberculosis is a treatable disease, but remains a major cause of mortality. Culture for Mycobacterium is needed to make a definitive diagnosis; thus, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) was attempted for its detection in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples. Materials and method: Archival FFPE blocks were used from 64 patients...
