[Quality assurance of rapid on-site evaluation of CT-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology of lung nodules].

Introduction: The methods available for the diagnosis of lung cancer include radiologic, cytologic and pathologic procedures.

Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the quality assurance of CT guided fine needle aspiration cytology of lung nodules.

Methods: Cytology results were rated to 4 categories (positive; suspicious; negative; not representative).

[Abdominal partial resection of the vagina and colpopexy: experiences with the procedure for posthysterectomy vault prolapse in 74 cases].

Objective: To assess the abdominal partial resection of the vagina and infundibulopelvic colpopexia in women with posthysterectomy vaginal vault prolapse. OPERATIVE PROCEDURE AND MATERIAL: Slightly modifying the method described by Lampé, after laparotomy the elongated vaginal wall is resected and the vaginal vault is fixed by the sutures placed into the infundibulopelvic, sacrouterine, and round ligaments. The area is covered and elevated by the overlapping peritoneum.

The role of gastric mucosal dysplasia in the development of gastric carcinoma.

It is widely acknowledged that most stomach carcinomas developed from dysplastic lesions of gastric mucosa. They can be found in known precancerous conditions as chronic gastritis, gastric adenoma, giant rugal hypertrophy, chronic peptic ulcer, gastric stump after partial resection and pernicious anemia. Several grading systems of gastric dysplasia have been suggested.
