The estimation of the composition of the vaginal smear of the cytological hormone diagnosis is given by a sampling method. The results show that the cells should be distributed in a more uniform way on the slide than it is the case within conventional smears.

Background: Fruit size is a crucial economic trait that impacts the quality of jujube (Ziziphus jujuba), however, research in this area remains limited. This study utilized two jujube cultivars with similar genetic backgrounds but differing fruit sizes to investigate the regulatory mechanisms affecting fruit size through cytological observations, transcriptome sequencing, and heterologous overexpression.
Results: The findings reveal that variations in mesocarp cell numbers during early fruit development significantly influence final fruit size.

Immature PIT1-lineage pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs)/adenomas (Immature PIT1-lineage tumors) are a rare and underrecognized subtype of PitNETs that exhibits distinct cytologic atypia features and aggressive clinical potential. This study characterizes the clinical, radiological, histologic, and immunohistochemical features of 15 immature PIT1-lineage tumors identified from 1084 PitNETs patients over 5 years. Our cohort of 6 males and 9 females had a median age of 37.

Background: Transgender people assigned male at birth (TG-AMAB) have higher rates of anal human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and anal cancer compared with cisgender populations. In a cohort of TG-AMAB in Washington DC, we determined the prevalence and epidemiological factors associated with anal high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) infection and cytological abnormalities.
Methods: In an urban academic-community clinic, we recruited adults identifying as a gender different than their sex assigned at birth.

Objective: The aims of this study were to investigate the association between positive TCT and sex hormone levels and to evaluate the feasibility of change in sex hormone level as a potential predictor of cervical cancer.
Methods: We recruited 910 female participants from the health examination center of a hospital in Guizhou between 2019 and 2023. All participants had undergone both hematologic examinations and cervical cancer screening.

Introduction: The use of Hormone Dosage (HD) in Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy (FNA) needle washout fluid, introduced in the 1990s, initially aimed at measuring Thyroglobulin (TG). Elevated TG concentration in an extrathyroidal cervical lesion suggests metastases of Well-Differentiated Thyroid Carcinomas (WDTC). Over the years, HD has evolved to incorporate Calcitonin (CT) and Parathormone (PTH), improving sensitivity and specificity in diverse clinical scenarios.
