HemeTEAM India: together everyone achieves more.

Background: Interprofessional team-based care has been known to aid in better patient-focused care and outcomes. However, the same concept in the space of bone marrow transplant (BMT) especially in this part of the world is currently elusive. This single-center experience from a BMT unit of India depicts the effectiveness of interdisciplinary care.

Semi-streaming algorithms for submodular matroid intersection.

While the basic greedy algorithm gives a semi-streaming algorithm with an approximation guarantee of 2 for the matching problem, it was only recently that Paz and Schwartzman obtained an analogous result for weighted instances. Their approach is based on the versatile local ratio technique and also applies to generalizations such as weighted hypergraph matchings. However, the framework for the analysis fails for the related problem of weighted matroid intersection and as a result the approximation guarantee for weighted instances did not match the factor 2 achieved by the greedy algorithm for unweighted instances.

Current practice in handling and reporting needle biopsies: A hospital-based survey.

Context: Core-needle biopsy (CNB) is a minimally invasive screening and diagnostic tool which provides intact tissue fragments for histopathological examination.

Aims: This study was conducted to review the current practices of handling and reporting CNBs performed for core-needle biopsies from four organ systems which are frequently encountered in our institution. These include breast, prostate, soft tissues, and lymph nodes.
