The Clinical Predictors of Malignancy in the Prostate Gland and Their Correlation With Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Levels.

Background and objective The prostate gland, which plays a crucial role in the male reproductive system, has a complex structure and function. Prostate enlargement, often benign but occasionally malignant, poses significant health concerns, particularly in aging populations. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) serves as a vital biomarker, reflecting changes in prostate architecture and aiding diagnostic stratification.

An Extensive Analysis and Comparison of Bone Marrow Aspiration and Bone Marrow Trephine Biopsy at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Jharkhand for Various Hematological and Non-hematological Illnesses.

Background Bone marrow examination (BME) is an indispensable diagnostic tool to evaluate various hematological and non-hematological disorders. Bone marrow aspirate cytology and bone marrow trephine biopsy, even though performed simultaneously, are assessed at different points in time due to different processing methods. Aims and objective This study aims to assess and compare the role of bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy to formulate an effective and rapid method for diagnosing a wide spectrum of various hematological and non-hematological disorders.

Impact of Plateletpheresis on the Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, and Total Red Blood Cell Count: An Updated Meta-Analysis.

Plateletpheresis has become a pivotal part of transfusion medicine. With the increasing demand for plateletpheresis, donor safety is an area of concern because plateletpheresis alters donor hematological parameters. For a better understanding of plateletpheresis, a systemic review is needed to study more evidence-based aspects of plateletpheresis.

A Hospital-Based Cross-Sectional Study on the Histopathology of Upper Gastrointestinal Tract Endoscopic Biopsy in Dyspeptic Patients.

Background Dyspepsia is one of the most common GI complaints encountered in clinical practice. Histopathological assessment of endoscopic gastric mucosa biopsy is crucial to delineate the exact cause of dyspepsia to guide patients' management. Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the histopathological spectrum of upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract endoscopic biopsies and to study the age and sex distribution of the predominant upper GI lesions.

Intraoperative Assessment of Margin Accuracy in Patients Diagnosed With Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma in a Tertiary Hospital of Jharkhand: Frozen Section Versus Histopathology.

Background The incidence of head and neck carcinoma is increasing. The use of an intraoperative frozen section plays a vital role in the evaluation of margin status in patients undergoing surgery for oral squamous cell carcinoma. A negative margin is not only an indication of successful surgery but also decreases the recurrence of disease and improves the overall survival of patients.

Aberrant expression of CD markers in AML in patients attending RIMS, Ranchi - An observational study.

Introduction: Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a tumour of hematopoietic progenitors caused by acquired oncogenic mutations that impede differentiation, leading to the accumulation of immature myeloid blasts in the marrow. Aberrant phenotype is a phenomenon in which lymphoid-associated and other myeloid lineage markers are expressed in myeloblasts or myeloid-associated markers are expressed in lymphoblasts.

Materials And Methods: Diagnosed cases of AML were included in this study to study the aberrant expression using multiparametric flow cytometry.

Evaluation of Acute Leukaemias by Flow Cytometry and Its Correlation With Diagnosis Using Morphological and Special Staining Techniques.

Background: Leukaemia can be reliably diagnosed and classified by the simultaneous application of multiple techniques. Cytochemical stains that are cheap and do not require any special instruments are very important in developing countries for the diagnosis of acute leukaemia (AL).

Aim: To diagnose AL in all suspected cases by flow cytometry and to correlate the diagnosis with morphological and special staining like myeloperoxidase (MPO) and periodic acid-Sciff (PAS) techniques.

Utility of Flow Cytometry in Diagnosis of Acute Leukemias: A Study at RIMS, Ranchi, India.

Introduction: Leukemia is a neoplastic disorder originating in a hematopoietic cell that has undergone an intrinsic change, causing it to escape from the normal restraints imposed on proliferative activity. Immunophenotyping is now the preferred method for diagnosing, classifying, staging and monitoring the disease progression as well as response to therapy.

Material And Method: The material of the present study consisted of 51 patients suffering from hematological malignancies who attended and /or were admitted in Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi during the period from March 2018 to August 2019.
