Cardiac Tumor Pathology

Cardiac tumors have been as soon as a nosographic entity of scarce medical curiosity as a result rarity and of the intrinsic diagnostic and healing impossibilities, and have been thought of a deadly morbid entity. It has now turn into a topical topic because of advances in scientific imaging (echo, magnetic resonance, computed tomography) in addition to innovation in applied sciences of in-vivo analysis.

The Pathology of the Endocrine Pancreas in Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus represents the most widespread and severe medical syn­ dromes in modern medication. because the finish of the 19th century, the endocrine pancreas has been implicated within the pathogenesis of this sickness. a number of pathologists of the 20 th century detected a number of lesions and mor­ phologic changes within the pancreatic islets of diabetic sufferers, however the patho­ physiologic foundation in their findings remained lengthy vague.

3 Reverse Transcriptase-PCR in the Diagnosis of MTC Thyroid tumors are often diagnosed by cytologic examination of FNAs. In some cases a diagnosis is not possible due to inadequate FNA sampling, poor fixation, or a lack of epithelial cells. To facilitate diagnosis in such cases Takano et al. [155] developed a new molecular technique termed aspiration biopsy-reverse transcriptase-PCR. In this technique, cells left over in the FNA needle are used for reverse transcriptase-PCR of genes specifically expressed in one TC type.

BRAF V660E mutations were found in 38 % of PTCs in an Italian population, with a tendency for the mutation frequency to increase with increasing patient age. 5 DNA Sequencing DNA sequencing has often been employed in BRAF mutation analyses [58, 61]. Although considered the gold standard in molecular testing, especially Sanger sequencing, direct sequencing has several disadvantages: (1) it can be relatively expensive, especially for longer sequences; (2) other techniques such as ASA-PCR and STAT have higher sensitivity; and (3) it can give false results when applied to formalin-fixed tissue [62, 63].
