Genotoxicity in oral mucosal epithelial cells of petrol station attendants: A micronucleus study
Conclusion: The present study indicated that the petrol pump workers are under higher cytogenotoxic damage. Also, smoking added to the frequency of damage. Thus, MN and other nuclear anomalies are in-vitro reliable biomarker assays available and should be routinely employed as a screening tool in their periodic medical evaluation.

The effect of the extent of neuroendocrine differentiation on cytopathological findings in primary neuroendocrine neoplasms of the breast
Conclusions: Clean background, hypercellularity, loss of cohesion, naked nuclei, monotonous cells with round nucleus, and granular cytoplasm were more prominent in cases showing diffuse staining with neuroendocrine markers. Suspecting neuroendocrine differentiation in tumors that show focal staining with neuroendocrine markers can be challenging in cytological preparations. (Source: Journal of Cytology)

Factors affecting the histopathological outcomes of atypical glandular cells on pap test
Conclusion: The diagnosis of AGC may be related to the preneoplastic/neoplastic processes. A further comprehensive histopathological examination is required in women with AGC, aged 50 years and older, postmenopausal, HPV-positivity and concomitant squamous cell abnormality Clinicians should consider ovarian pathologies when there is no pathological finding on endometrial or cervical histopathological examination.

Histopathological review of diagnostic categories of the milan system for reporting salivary gland cytopathology & #8211; An institutional experience of 6 years
Conclusion: FNAC plays a critical role in the evaluation of patients with salivary gland lesions. The MSRSGC helps in the standardization of the process of diagnosis and clinical management of salivary gland lesions, especially of AUS and SUMP categories that are indeterminate categories in nature.

Should liquid based cytology (LBC) be applied to thyroid fine needle aspiration cytology samples ? : Comparative analysis of conventional and LBC smears
Conclusions: In thyroid FNA cases, conventional smears are superior to LBC preparation in terms of cellularity and diagnostic efficacy and hence, LBC preparations should not replace conventional smears for making a routine cytomorphological diagnosis. (Source: Journal of Cytology)

Comparative evaluation of clinical, cytological and microbiological profile in abdominal vs. cervical lymph nodal tuberculosis with special emphasis on utility of Auramine-O staining
Conclusion: Cytological and microbiologic features of abdominal LNTB differ from cervical LNTB. Moreover, AO stain increases the smear positivity, is almost twice as sensitive as ZN stain and should be used as an adjunct in cytological material wherever available. (Source: Journal of Cytology)

Diagnostic utility and accuracy of scrape cytology in evaluation of neoplastic lesions
Conclusion: Scrape cytology is a cost-effective and reasonably accurate cytodiagnostic technique for rapid tumor diagnosis. Scrape cytology can be a useful supplementary tool to frozen section, and may be applied for rapid diagnosis where frozen section technique is not available. The material and knowledge obtained from scrape cytology of routinely received histopathological specimens can be utilized as a teaching material and may help unveil diagnostic cytopathological features of infrequent cytologically encountered lesions.

P16INK4a/ki67 immunocytochemistry in improving the predictive value for high grade cervical intraepithelial ( & #8805;CIN2) neoplasia in pap smear
Conclusion: Because high-risk HPV test has a high sensitivity and NPV, whereas P16/Ki-67 dual immunocytochemistry (≥10 positive cells) has a high specificity and PPV, the latter can be recommended as an ancillary test in hr-HPV-positive women to reduce the number of women going for colposcopy and biopsies.
