Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS), La Paz Regional Site, Bolivia.
Background: Cervical cancer is a major health problem in Latin America. In 2019, the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (La Paz regional site) conducted a pilot study to estimate the prevalence of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) and the feasibility of HPV screening in Bolivia through self-sampling and portable and transportable laboratory instruments for HPV testing in urban and rural areas.
Methods: Women aged 20-65 years from La Paz (urban area), Toro Toro (rural area), and Acasio (rural area) were enrolled in local public health centers between Dec 1, 2019, and June 30, 2021.

Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Department of Internal Medicine, Chi Mei Medical Center, Tainan, Taiwan.
Background: The two widely established systems for liquid-based cytology (LBC), ThinPrep and SurePath, employ different principles. The aim of this study was to compare the cytomorphology of thyroid lesions prepared by the two techniques.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 44 thyroid FNA specimens prepared by LBC, including 20 ThinPrep and 22 SurePath.

Department of Pathology, Tata Memorial Hospital, Tata Memorial Centre, Homi Bhabha National Institute, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
Background: Liquid-based cytology (LBC) can improve adequacy, monolayer quality with a clean background compared to conventional smears (CS).
Aims And Objectives: The objective was to compare the quality and diagnostic yield of CS and LBC in routine cytological investigations.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study consisted of 306 samples (255 gynecological, 39 nongynecological, and 12 fine needle aspiration cytology [FNAC]) during a 2-year period (2019-2020).
Cancer Cytopathol
November 2023
Laboratory Medicine Program, University Health Network, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Background: The objectives of this study were to investigate the utility of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA)/endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) for the diagnosis of amyloidosis coupled with the feasibility of mass spectrometry (MS) for amyloid subtyping.
Methods: All patients who had amyloid diagnosed by EBUS-TBNA/EUS-FNA at two tertiary care centers from 2011 to 2020 were retrieved along with the MS subtype, clinical findings, and outcomes.
Results: Eight patients were included: seven underwent EBUS-TBNA of mediastinal lymph nodes, and one underwent EUS-FNA of a periportal lymph node.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Istanbul Medeniyet University Göztepe Prof. Dr. Süleyman Yalçın City Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.
Introduction: We found only a few studies that had performed high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) analyses of inadequate ThinPrep™ Papanicolaou (Pap) tests. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze unsatisfactory ThinPrep Pap tests using hrHPV tests. The colposcopic biopsy results of cases with an unsatisfactory ThinPrep Pap test and positive hrHPV results were revealed.
