Although it is well established that ThinPrep introduces artifacts to thyroid aspirates, no criteria have been established for adequacy of such specimens. This study evaluates the adequate number of cells needed to establish the correct diagnosis based on ThinPrep alone. A total of 218 thyroid aspirates prepared by TP with surgical pathology follow-up were reviewed. The cellularity was calculat...

BACKGROUND Because coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) by 320-area detector CT (320-ADCT) can be obtained in a short time, the probability of meeting up with premature contraction (PC) during scanning may be lower in 320-ADCT compared to 64-MDCT. The purpose is to compare the probability of meeting up with PC, scanning time, and image quality in patients with PC between the 2 groups...

Background: COVID-19, which originated in China, became a pandemic affecting more than 180 countries. By April 2020, India had announced lockdown an attempt to control the spread of virus. Lack social interaction and apprehension about studies created emotional disturbances among medical students. Methods: The study was done college situated Central Travancore, Kerala, between 2020 20 May 31. D...

The HfGeO 4 :Ti phosphor was investigated, focusing on its thermoluminescence properties in the range of 30−500 °C and photoluminescence 13–600 K. nominal Ti content 1%, while 0.2% concentration proved by EDS. exposed three TL peaks at 70, 120, 180 whose were analyzed. Emissions peaking 430 nm under 255 excitation, 580 320 nm, 790 355 identified characterized. latter two not reported earlier. e...

BACKGROUND Recent studies have identified critical roles for microRNAs (miRNAs) in a variety of cellular processes, including regulation of cardiomyocyte death. However, the signature of miRNA expression and possible roles of miRNA in the ischemic heart have been less well studied. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed miRNA arrays to detect the expression pattern of miRNAs in murine hearts subjec...

Chinese hamster and mouse sarcoma 180 ascites cells, treated with high levels of actinomycin D, still carry out limited poly(A) synthesis. The residual activity, which consists of poly(A) chain extension in the cytoplasm as well as in the nucleus, is essentially insensitive to cordycepin. Nuclear polyadenylation proceeds linearly and involves the gradual extension of unusually long poly(A) sequ...

The chromosomal constitutions of four amethopterin-resistant sublines of cultured Sarcoma 180 cells were compared with those of two sensitive sublines. No correlation between amethopterin resistance and chromosomes was observed. The chromosomal character of a resistant subline was completely retained in the sensitive subline derived from it after 9 months of continuous cultivation in the absenc...
