Biopsy

How could you apply this theory in your current practice- be specific provide detail and examples? When a patient comes to the IR department for a lung biopsy, the patient is fearful, afraid of the unknown, they fear what we will find, will it hurt, how long will it take to do the biopsy, how long will it take to get the results, will I be sleeping or awake, will it be difficult to breathe, do I have to stay in the hospital? Patients have so many questions when they arrive for their procedure. I…

and adults. The doctor inflates a balloon inside the rectum. The muscle that surrounds should relax accordingly. Otherwise, Hirschsprung disease could be the cause. • Removing a sample of colon tissue for testing (biopsy). This is the safest way to identify Hirschsprung disease. A biopsy sample can be collected using a suction device, and then examined under a microscope to determine whether the nerve cells are missing. Procedure: laparoscopic approach: the determination of the level of…

Cellular pathology studies body organs and tissues to determine the cause of certain diseases and their effects. A sample of tissue cells are taken from the patient and sent to the laboratory in order to give a diagnosis and give the most appropriate advice and treatment to patients. Cell pathology helps to assist with the choice of treatment that will be given, and giving prognosis and determining causes of death. There are two main parts within cellular pathology. The first is histopathology,…

These may be done by core needle, where samples are taken from the tumor via a special needle or the biopsies may be done as excisional procedures, where the entire tumor is removed. The latter is believed to be better by some experts, since small samples taken may not be adequate to confirm PTs. Microscopic examination of PTs may lead to them being classified…

Fact: False! A prostate biopsy may not necessarily be for diagnosing prostate cancer, it could be to detect other prostate issues too and it doesn’t lead to spreading of the same. Myth: Removal of the man’s testicles is the only treatment for prostate cancer. Fact: Removal of the…

MELAS is an uncommon hereditary disorder that can cause strokes and dementia. MELAS syndrome is a neurodegenerative disorder. MELAS stands for mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes. MELAS syndrome is brought about by changes in genetic material (DNA) in the mitochondria. Our DNA is found mostly in the cell nucleus. Some of our DNA is in another vital structure called the mitochondrion. MELAS syndrome is a known to begin in childhood,…

wanted to know the steps that are taken for the diagnosis of NAFLD and NASH while very little physical symptoms can be observed. According to Brunt and Tiniakos (2010), liver biopsy evaluation remains the standard for diagnosing NAFLD. Hence, the focus of this paper is about staining techniques and scoring methods used on liver biopsy to identify NAFLD by reviewing journal articles by Brunt and Tiniakos (2010), Dixon et al. (2004) and Kleiner et al.…

Women can flick on the TV, look at the news stand, or be flipping through the local newspaper and once again see or hear another article on if having a mammogram at 40 is either good for you or whether you shouldn’t have a mammogram. The controversy of having a mammogram at 40 has raged for over 30 years. I have been in the mammography profession for over 11 years and I have seen that early detection of breast cancer saves lives; therefore it is beneficial for women to start their mammograms…

associated with menstrual cycles, it can be a persistent, painful situation for some women. Based on the results of your mammogram, ultrasound, or other tests, your Glendora General Surgeon can perform either a fine-needle aspiration or a core needle biopsy procedure. A fine-needle aspiration will withdraw fluid from the swollen cysts. If there are solid lumps, the core…

Genetic testing is also known as DNA testing. It utilizes laboratory methods to study genes and chromosomes, in order to detect the presence of genetic diseases or the mutant forms of genes associated with high probabilities of developing genetic disorders, to design appropriate treatment. There are different types of genetic tests: Diagnostic testing, carrier testing, prenatal testing, pharmacogenomics testing, Research genetic testing and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). Families who…
