Background: The fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is an OPD procedure that is easy to perform, accurate, reproducible and cheap. Fine needle aspiration is a part of triple test to diagnose the breast lump. However a definitive conclusion should always be reached through histopathological examination Aim:The aim of our study is to correlate cytological diagnosis with histopathological diagnosis, to know clonicomorphologic spectrum of breast lump, and to figure out sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and efficiency of FNAC. Methods:Total 244 cases who were subjected to FNAC and then subsequent biopsy was sent in each case were taken into consideration for analysis from tertiary care center in north Gujarat from February 2014 to January 2017 for 3 years.Results: In our study,4 were males and 240 were females(1.64% and 98.36% respectively). Maximum cases of breast lump were in the 21-30 years age group. Out of total 244 cases 154(63.11%) were benign, 50(20.49%) cases were malignant, 08 (3.27%) were suspicious for malignancy and 32(13.11%) were other nonneoplastic. Out of total 244 cases, 241 were consistent on histopathology and 3 were inconsistent. Our study have Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive predictive value, Negative predictive value, and Efficiency to be 98.24%, 98.93%, 96.55%, 99.46% and 98.77% respectively. Conclusion:FNAC helps the surgeon on further accurate management of lump as it is sensitive and specific. FNAC results should be correlated with clinical findings and radiological investigations. Inconclusive results and on FNAC should always be confirmed with biopsy.

Background and Objective: One of the main detrimental consequences of blood transfusion is donor-torecipient infection transfer. Serological tests before transfusion may help to minimise TTIs. The purpose of this research was to establish the prevalence of TTIs among volunteer and blood donors. Materials and Methods: Records from the blood bank attached to a tertiary care center were analysed. Past of 3 years records were entered and analysed through epi info 7. Results: In present study, the prevalence of blood-borne infection among blood donors was 2.12%. HIV incidence was 0.52% and HBV, HCV and Syphilis 0.68%. 0.11%, respectively, and 0.81%. Replacement donor has a rate of 11.41% relative to voluntary donor of 0.70%. Conclusion: Blood door selection procedure must be comprehensive, utilising traditional procedures. Blood preservation is the recipient's primary concern. Furthermore, community motivation and knowledge campaigns are needed to raise volunteer blood donors.

Introduction: Blood safety is important thing to consider in blood banks. Donor selection is very important part of blood banking. Aim: The aim of the study is evaluation and interpretation of deferral data of voluntary non remunerated blood donors and to apply these data for recruitment of temporary deferral and to reduce hazard by making registry of permanent donors as well compare these data with previous studies. Materials and methods: Retrospective study of blood donors was done at GMERS himmatnagar for one year from January 2018 to December 2018. Donor deferral data was analyzed from indoor and outdoor donor forms and registers. Results: Total 3054 potential blood donors were screened. Of the total 3054 screened, 2762 (90.43%) were accepted for blood donation and 292 (9.56%) were deferred. Total number of temporary deferral was 252 and permanent deferral was 40. Discussion: In our study the deferral rate was 9.56%.In order to lessen the loss of blood donors and future recruitment of potential temporary blood donors this study was conducted. Low hemoglobin was the commonest cause of temporary deferral. The commonest age group of deferral is 18-25 years age group. Conclusion: Deferral is a burden and stress upon young donors. Temporary donor should be encouraged for donation after period of deferral is over. Donor registry should also be made for identifying reason of deferral in future.
