Frequent Immunohistochemical Expression of Transcriptional Repressor GATA Binding 1 in Salivary Gland Neoplasms: A Sensitive but Nonspecific Marker.

Context.—: Salivary gland (SG) neoplasms (SGNs) display considerable immunophenotypic diversity. A significant proportion of SG carcinomas develop metastases with increased diagnostic difficulty at metastatic sites.

Fluorescence in situ hybridization for ETV6 gene rearrangements on destained cytological smears: Role in diagnosis of secretory carcinoma of salivary gland.

Background: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is the first-line diagnostic procedure for salivary gland masses. Secretory carcinoma (SC) is characterized by ETV6 and RET rearrangements detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) or reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction optimized for paraffin-embedded and fresh-frozen tissue, respectively. The authors performed FISH on cytological material to assess its role in the diagnosis of SC.

Correlation between radial and femoral arterial blood pressure during reperfusion in living donor liver transplantation.

Background And Aims: Accurate blood pressure measurements are the mainstay for the efficient management of abrupt cardiovascular changes during reperfusion in liver transplant. We sought to compare the femoral and radial pressures during reperfusion and at baseline, 1 h in dissection: portosystemic shunt, reperfusion, at bile duct anastomosis.

Methods: A retrospective study was performed amongst 102 adult patients who underwent R lobe living donor liver transplantation.

Nutritional Interventions and Considerations for the Development of Low Calorie or Sugar Free Foods.

Diabetes is a globally prevalent chronic metabolic disease characterized by blood glucose levels higher than the normal levels. Sugar, a common constituent of diet, is also a major factor often responsible for elevating the glucose level in diabetic patients. However, diabetic patients are more prone to eat sweets amongst the human population.
