Abstract Background Liquid‐based cytology (LBC) allows immunohistochemistry (IHC), fluorescence in situ hybridization, and molecular testing to be performed in fixed cell materials. We examined the feasibility of subtyping and EGFR mutation testing of bronchoscopic samples from patients with lung cancer using cell blocks (CB) based on LBC fixation (LBC‐CB). Methods We included 35 consecutive patients with peripheral lung nodules who underwent endobronchial ultrasonography with a...

Abstract Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) accounts for 3%‐5% of all thyroid malignancies. Most MTC can be diagnosed by their typical cytologic and histologic morphology and immunohistochemical features. However, some rare variants of MTC may pose diagnostic difficulties on both cytology and histology. Paraganglioma‐like MTC (PLMTC) is a rare, but widely recognized variant of MTC. PLMTC is known to share morphological and architectural similarities with paraganglioma, hyalinizing trabecular tumor,...

Abstract In many mammals, gender and skull shape are related to the bone morphology of the entire body; however, this has not been well established in the domestic cat (Felis catus). This study aims to find a relationship between cervical, thoracic and lumbar vertebrae morphometrics with regard to the sex and skull shape of domestic cats. A total of 79 samples obtained from 92 dried bones of domestic cats were used to determine morphometric measurements for a total of 29 parameters....

Abstract Cells represent the basic building blocks of living organisms. Accurate characterisation of cellular phenotype, intercellular signalling networks, and the spatial organisation of cells within organs is crucial to deliver a better understanding of the processes underpinning physiology, and the perturbations that lead to disease. Single‐cell methodologies have rapidly increased in scale and scope in recent years and are set to generate important insights into human disease. Here, we review...
