Diagnostic yield of ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (US-guided FNAB) and post-surgical histopathological correlation of thyroid nodules in the Department of Radiology, Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa over a two-year period
… thyroid nodule fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is a reliable and cost-effective method of distinguishing between benign and malignant nodules before major surgery is performed. Aims: The study aimed to establish the diagnostic yield of US-guided thyroid FNAB's done at Groote Schuur …

An optical smart needle : point-of-care technologies for integrated needle guidance using optical frequency domain ranging
… In the setting of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), manual palpation is often the only cue for determining the optimal position of the needle. As a result, FNAB procedures frequently yield non-diagnostic tissue. When not guided by an imaging modality, breast and thyroid FNAB's only obtain …

Punção aspirativa por agulha fina como meio de diagnóstico em cirurgia buco-maxilo-facial
… 399 samples of fine needle aspirative biopsies (FNAB), which have been done on nodular lesions as well as in subcutaneous and submucosal lumps, all of them in the anatomical area of action of oral and maxillofacial surgery. The cytopathological results of the FNAB were compared with the …

International Academy of Cytology Yokohama System for reporting Breast Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy (FNAB) cytology: A Retrospective Study in a Single South African Tertiary Institution
… 3. To assess the diagnostic yield of the breast FNAB at our institution by comparing it to the matched histopathology over a 12-month period. Methodology: A retrospective longitudinal descriptive study was done. A computerized search on TrakCare NHLS for the year 2019, identified 884 patients who …

Discriminating benign from malignant thyroid nodules in real-time using a novel probe with an integrated elastic scattering spectroscopy biopsy syringe
… of diagnosis, fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) yields indeterminate results for approximately 10–25% of biopsies, necessitating thyroidectomy for diagnosis. Elastic scattering spectroscopy (ESS) is a minimally invasive optical biopsy technique that is sensitive to cellular and subcellular …

Comparison of fine needle aspiration cytology and cell block to formal histology of small subcutaneous mass lesions in children. a prospective study at Red Cross War Memorial Children`s Hospital
… clots, or grossly visible tissue fragments from FNAB cytological specimens into paraffin blocks cut and stained as for formal histopathology. Use of Cell blocks as an adjunct to routine cytology smears can increase the sensitivity to a considerable extent leading to increased diagnostic yield. …

Surface Directed Monoclonal Antibodies against STEC Aid in the Reduction of Pathogen Detection Times from Food and Water
The diagnostic methods implemented at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for the detection of Shiga toxin producing E. coli (STEC) are time consuming and tedious, taking up to 5 days before a positive sample can be confirmed. The goal of this project was to streamline the detection procedure for …
