Large atypical lipomatous tumour of the neck with mediastinal extension managed by transcervical excision.

Tumours of adipose tissue origin are relatively rare in the head and neck. Here, we report a case of an unfamiliar lipomatous lesion that involved the neck and mediastinum. A nil-comorbid man in his 40s presented with a slowly progressive anterior neck swelling of 3 years, which was diagnosed as lipoma by histopathological sampling.

Analysis of red blood cells from peripheral blood smear images for anemia detection: a methodological review.

Anemia is a blood disorder which is caused due to inadequate red blood cells and hemoglobin concentration. It occurs in all phases of life cycle but is more dominant in pregnant women and infants. According to the survey conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) (McLean et al.

Choristomatous Endocervical Polyp with Heterologous Adipose Tissue.

Endocervical polyps are a common occurrence in the postmenopausal age group and many reports have described the presence of heterologous elements in the stroma of such polyps. The presence of mature adipose tissue in the stroma has been hypothesized to be arising from the perivascular fat or metaplastic transformation of the smooth muscle cells posttrauma. A 75-year-old female presented with spotting per vagina.

Epidemiology, resistance characteristics, virulence determinants, and treatment outcomes of bone and joint infections: a one-year prospective study at a tertiary care hospital in India.

Purpose: The study was aimed to explore the differences between the osteosynthesis-associated infection (OAI) and non-implant related infections (NIRI) in terms of epidemiology, resistance characteristics, virulence determinants, treatment, risk factors, and outcome.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted from 2018 through 2019. The phenotypic and genotypic characterization of , risk factors, treatment, and outcome were compared.

Automated Decision Support System for Detection of Leukemia from Peripheral Blood Smear Images.

Peripheral blood smear analysis plays a vital role in diagnosing many diseases including cancer. Leukemia is a type of cancer which begins in bone marrow and results in increased number of white blood cells in peripheral blood. Unusual variations in appearance of white blood cells indicate leukemia.

Image Processing Approach for Detection of Leukocytes in Peripheral Blood Smears.

Peripheral blood smear analysis is a gold-standard method used in laboratories to diagnose many hematological disorders. Leukocyte analysis helps in monitoring and identifying health status of a person. Segmentation is an important step in the process of automation of analysis which would reduce the burden on hematologists and make the process simpler.

Feature extraction using traditional image processing and convolutional neural network methods to classify white blood cells: a study.

White blood cells play a vital role in monitoring health condition of a person. Change in count and/or appearance of these cells indicate hematological disorders. Manual microscopic evaluation of white blood cells is the gold standard method, but the result depends on skill and experience of the hematologist.

Development of a Robust Algorithm for Detection of Nuclei and Classification of White Blood Cells in Peripheral Blood Smear Images.

Peripheral Blood Smear analysis plays a vital role in diagnosis of many diseases such as leukemia, anemia, malaria, lymphoma and infections. Unusual variations in color, shape and size of blood cells indicate abnormal condition. We used a total of 117 images from Leishman stained peripheral blood smears acquired at a magnification of 100X.

Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of Salivary Gland: Limitations and Pitfalls on FNA.

Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma (MEC) is the most common malignant neoplasm of salivary gland origin. However, its morphologic heterogeneity poses difficulty in interpretation. In the present series we discuss the morphologic features of MEC, limitations and pitfalls in its diagnosis on Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC).

Bladder Adenocarcinoma: A Persisting Diagnostic Dilemma.

Primary urinary Bladder Adenocarcinoma (PBA) is an uncommon neoplasm and can cause diagnostic difficulties due to histologic similarities with adenocarcinomas of adjacent structures like Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT) and prostate, since involvement of the bladder by metastasis or direct spread can occur. Seven cases of bladder adenocarcinomas were diagnosed during a period of four years in a tertiary care hospital. Patient's age ranged from 26-78 years with a male predilection.

Multiple Drugs Causing Severe Anemia in Infective Endocarditis.

Ceftriaxone and linezolid are commonly used antibiotics in infective endocarditis. Here we present a rare case of severe anemia caused by both the drugs via different mechanisms. Drugs have shown significant contribution in inducing anemia via hemolysis and bone marrow suppression in an infective endocarditis patient.

Haemolytic anaemia--PNH type II cells presenting a diagnostic dilemma.

A 28-year-old man presented with a history of intermittent haematuria over the past 10 years usually following fever episodes and requiring blood transfusions during the episodes. History of any thrombotic complications, chest pain or erectile dysfunction was not forthcoming. Examination revealed severe pallor with mild icterus and mild splenomegaly.
