“…With a male-to-female ratio of 1.02:1, males outnumber females in cancer incidence. The result here was in agreement with studies in other parts of the country Trivandrum,[ 17 ] Srinagar,[ 18 ] Gandhinagar[ 19 ] but contrary to the finding of the studies conducted at Chandigarh,[ 17 ] Amritsar,[ 20 ] Bengal[ 21 ] which showed female predominance. More men are affected by cancer than women in different parts of the world.…”

Background: In the past two decades, the growing economy associated with changes in lifestyle-related behavior is partially responsible for the increasing cancer burden in India. To assess the occurrence and distribution of oral cancer based on the analysis of hospital records from registered oncology institutes of South India over a period of three years. Materials and Methods: A multicenter, retrospective study was conducted at seven major hospitals in South India to assess the incidence and distribution of cancer among patients over a period of three years (2016–2018). Data were collected on a custom-made validated proforma. Analysis was done using R commander software. Results: A total of 156090 various types of cancers were reported to the included institutes over a three-year period, an almost similar gender distribution was observed, males (n = 78806, 42.99% per lakh) compared to their female counterparts (n = 77284, 42.16% per lakh). Among males’ lung cancer was the most common type with 17709 cases (9.65% per lakh) and among females, breast cancer was the leading cancer type with 22855 total cases (12.46% per lakh). Over a period of three years, a total of 21084 records of malignancies pertaining to oral cavity were identified accounting for 13.51% of cases. Among oral cancers, tongue was the most common site to be involved accounting for 44.22% (2016–2018) cases followed by buccal mucosa (14.69%), least common site to be involved was lip which accounted for 3.49% of the total oral cancer cases. Conclusion: Breast cancer was the most common cancer followed by lung cancer. Oral cancers occupied second among males and fifth rank in the order of occurrence among females. Tongue was the most common site followed by buccal mucosa. The least common site affected by oral cancer was the lip.

“…In general, the spectrophotometric method of analysis is the universally recommended procedure for clinical Hb analysis, [15][16][17] wherein blood hemoglobin is converted to cyanmethemoglobin by adding a mixture of potassium cyanide and ferricyanide and measuring the absorbance at 540 nm against a standard solution using a spectrophotometer. The major disadvantage of this method is the complication in conversion of all haemoglobin to cyanmethemoglobin and safety issues relating to the used toxic cyanide reagent.…”

“…Haemoglobin can be assessed by several methods. Considered to be the gold standard and part of the complete blood count, the haemoglobincyanide (HiCN) method uses an internationally accepted reference calibrator and provides a measured haemoglobin concentration 12 . However, this process is time-consuming and increasingly less useful to guide intraoperative transfusion in the context of acute bleeding.…”

Background Point-of-care tests (POCT) for haemoglobin are increasingly used to guide intraoperative transfusion. However, their accuracy compared to central laboratory tests is unknown. The objective was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of method comparison studies assessing the accuracy of POCT versus central laboratory haemoglobin tests in patients undergoing surgery. Methods Electronic databases were searched from inception to April 2020 (updated August 2023). Any methodological approach comparing haemoglobin measurements between POCT and central laboratory in patients undergoing surgery under anaesthesia in the operating room were included. Data abstraction was guided by PRISMA and risk of bias was assessed by QUADAS-2. Data were extracted independently and in duplicate by two reviewers. Outcomes included mean differences between POCT and central laboratory haemoglobin with associated standard deviations and 95% limits of agreement (LOA). Results Of 3057 citations, 34 studies were included (n = 2427, 6857 paired measurements). Several devices were compared (pulse co-oximetry, n = 25; HemoCue, n = 10; iSTAT, n = 6; blood gas analysers, n = 10; haematology analyser, n = 2). Median sample size was 41 patients, and 11 studies were funded by device manufacturers. Fifteen of 34 studies had low risk of bias. Pooled mean differences (95% LOA) were: pulse co-oximeters 2.3 g/l (−25.2–29.8), HemoCue −0.3 g/l (−11.1–10.5), iSTAT −0.3 g/l (−8.4–7.8) and blood gas analysers −2.6 g/l (−17.8–12.7). Conclusion All POCT examining intraoperative haemoglobin measurement yielded pooled mean difference LOAs larger than the allowable limit difference of ±4 g/dl. Intraoperative haemoglobin measured by POCT should not be considered interchangeable with central laboratory values and caution is necessary when using these tests to guide intraoperative transfusion.
