Article Synopsis
  • Stress-induced hyperglycaemia (SIH) occurs in non-diabetic patients during physiological stress and is linked to worse outcomes post-major trauma, but its prehospital predictive value for in-hospital mortality was studied.
  • A retrospective study analyzed non-diabetic adults with major trauma; findings showed that patients with prehospital SIH had significantly higher injury severity, more severe physiological impairments, and a much higher in-hospital mortality rate (42.7% vs. 9.9%).
  • The study concluded that prehospital SIH is a strong predictor of in-hospital mortality, suggesting the need for further research to integrate SIH into trauma care models.

Bazooka/Par-3 (Baz) is an evolutionarily conserved scaffold protein that functions as a master regulator for the establishment and maintenance of cell polarity in many different cell types. In the vast majority of published research papers Baz has been reported to localize at the cell cortex and at intercellular junctions. However, there have also been several reports showing localization and function of Baz at additional subcellular sites, in particular the nuclear envelope and the neuromuscular junction.

Objective: In an era of minimally invasive and rapid diagnostic technologies, fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is most useful when it comes to patients with lymphadenopathies especially of the cervical region. Liquid-based cytology (LBC) is an alternative processing method which is used for both gynecological and non-gynecological samples. Because of the remarkable advantages of LBC smears in gynecological samples, nowadays, many studies have been done to assess its utility in various other lesions.
