The flow cytometry becomes a more and more largely applied technique. However, the sufficient novelty of technique has no worked-out standards of diagnostic of many diseases. The lacking of external control of quality promotes development of large variety of approaches to diagnostic of diseases and impossibility to compare the study results from different laboratories. The paroxysmal night hemoglobinuria is an acquired clonal disease characterized by proliferation of stem cells with partial or total loss of expression of glykosylphosphosphatidyl inositol anchor needed to conjugate a number of surface proteins. The flow cytometry is a basic technique of detection and monitoring of clone of paroxysmal night hemoglobinuria. The article presents the results of paroxysmal night hemoglobinuria testing of 8 patients in 6 independent laboratories using flow cytometry by standard protocol recommended by the International society of clinical cytometrists (ICCS).

A 72-year-old man who underwent bilateral orthotropic lung transplantation for interstitial lung disease 6 months ago presented to the clinic with a 2-week history of cough, shortness of breath, and mid-back pain. The donor was negative for cytomegalovirus (CMV) and positive for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and the recipient was positive for both CMV and EBV. He also reported headaches but denied any fever, chills, weight loss, night sweats, chest pain, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, or leg swelling.

Article Synopsis
- A recent study found that cognitive behavioral therapy for symptom preoccupation related to paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF-CBT) improved quality of life but its effects on physiological factors like heart rate variability (HRV), physical activity, and sleep were unclear.
- In the study, 127 patients were divided into two groups, one receiving AF-CBT and the other AF education for 10 weeks, with assessments conducted before, after treatment, and at three months.
- Results showed that while AF-CBT significantly reduced insomnia severity, it did not affect heart rate variability, physical activity levels, or overall sleep duration, suggesting the therapy's benefits may be more psychological than physiological.

Article Synopsis
- Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a rare, low-grade malignant tumor, primarily affecting extremities and occasionally seen in the pulmonary bronchus.
- A 57-year-old female with a six-month cough was initially misdiagnosed with lung cancer based on imaging, but post-surgery pathology confirmed it as primary AFH of the bronchus.
- PAFH has low incidence, non-specific clinical and imaging features, making pathological diagnosis crucial while PET/CT can assist in identifying this tumor.
