“…26 At our institution we typically recommend a tissue biopsy, especially for an initial diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma, for confirmation and subclassification. However, Moreland and Geisinger 61 as well as others 59,62 have shown a high sensitivity in establishing a diagnosis of primary and recurrent Hodgkin lymphoma on FNA specimens.…”

“…26 For various reasons, Hodgkin lymphoma is probably the most difficult lymphoma to diagnose by FNA. 59 First, the most common type of Hodgkin lymphoma is nodular sclerosis, and most aspirates of nodular sclerosis are hypocellular or nondiagnostic samples that have crush artifact. Therefore, a clinical suspicion for malignancy warrants additional tissue sampling in hypocellular samples.…”

Graessley's theory has been applied to keratin/PEO concentrated aqueous solutions giving qualitative insight to the rheology of these polymer blends in electrospinning. The shear rate dependent viscosity of different blends was compared with that of pure polymer solutions. The characteristic time τη was calculated by the minimum value of $ \dot \gamma $ at the beginning of the non‐Newtonian viscosity behavior. Flow curves of PEO (at concentration from 1.0 to 7.0 wt %) reduce to a single curve by plotting η/η0 against $ \dot \gamma{\tau_\eta} $. Moreover, PEO solutions exhibit a linear proportionality between zero‐shear viscosity and the characteristic time η0 ∝ τη. Keratin/PEO blend solutions follow the same proportionality at very high and low keratin content, whereas linearity drops when the keratin content range from 50 to 70%. The departure from the theory has been interpreted as a sign of some interaction between the macromolecules of keratin and PEO. It was supposed that keratin displaces solvent molecules and expands the PEO chain coils increasing the relaxation time of the polymer solution. This behavior was correlated with changes in the morphology of the nanofibres produced by electrospinning from these polymer blends. Finally, additive rules to zero‐shear viscosity were applied to keratin and PEO solutions, indicating that the experimental η0 values were higher than the theoretical ones for all the proportions of the blends, especially for high keratin amount. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Background: Opportunistic infections and malignancies cause lymphadenopathy in HIV-infected patients. The use and accuracy of fine needle aspiration cytology in diagnosing of cervical lymphadenopathy among HIV-infected patients is not well studied in Uganda. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of fine needle aspiration cytology in providing a diagnosis of cervical lymphadenopathy among HIV-infected patients in Uganda. Methods: We consecutively recruited adult HIV-infected patients with cervical lymphadenopathy admitted to Mulago Hospital medical wards. Clinical examination, fine needle aspiration and lymph node biopsy were performed. We estimated the sensitivity, specificity; negative and positive predictive values using histology as the gold standard. Results: We enrolled 108 patients with a mean age of 33 years (range, 18-60), 59% were men and mean CD4 was 83(range, 22-375) cells/mm

“…However, satisfactory sampling is essential for the diagnosis and classification of malignant lymphoma [3][4][5] . Percutaneous core-needle biopsy under the guidance of CT or ultrasound in evaluation of malignant lymphomas has a limited value [6][7][8] . The advantage of CT guidance is that the whole mediastinum or abdomen is visualized, allowing accurate planning of biopsy for deep and small lesions and avoiding damage to important organs and greater vessels [9,10] .…”
