Background: In healthcare systems prioritizing care of older adults, resource limitations and escalating demand often impede access to outpatient specialized geriatric services.
Objectives: This study, theoretically guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), aimed to explore barriers and facilitators in implementing a centralized "Geri-Hub." The Geri-Hub is a centralized intake system established within 2 hospital systems to coordinate outpatient and community-based services for older adults, aiming to connect them with the most appropriate care in a timely manner.
Background: Serous effusion cytology (SEC) reporting is important for the management of the cancer patient. The International System for Reporting Serous Fluid Cytology (ISRSFC) provides tiered reporting terminology to standardize practice, looking into the risk of malignancy (MAL) for each category. In this study, we have assessed the utility of the ISRSFC and reported our experience at a tertiary cancer center.

Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is an effective technique to diagnose this tumor when combined with Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and molecular genetics. In this study, we describe four cases of renal and extra-renal rhabdoid tumor of which three cases were diagnosed on FNA with IHC.

It appears that T cells localize to selected sites in or adjacent to epithelia via the selective expression of adhesion molecules and chemokine receptors on T cells. These bind to counter-receptors and to chemokines expressed by epithelial cells.
