The two most important techniques used for the diagnosis are bone marrow aspiration and bone marrow biopsy which play complementary role with each other when performed simultaneously. Aims and Objectives: Study was done to compare the results of BMA and BMB and by that to prove the complementary role of both techniques to each other. Material and Methods: We evaluated total 74 cases in central laboratory, department of pathology, at tertiary care centre. All aspirations were stained by giemsa and iron stain while all biopsy were stained by routine H&E stain. Reticulin stain and IHC markers were used as and when required. Result: Out of total 74 cases, 40 cases showed positive corelation between these two techniques (54%). In two cases aspiration was not possible. In 8 cases biopsy was not done. 4 cases showed crushing artefact in BMB while 3 cases of aspiration were either diluted or dry tap. In all these cases diagnosis became possible by the alternate technique. BMB replaced BMA and vice versa as and when required. Conclusion: BMA and BMB are complementary procedure which yields extra support in diagnosing various hematological and non hematological disorders when one or other technique fails due to some reason","PeriodicalId":137237,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pathology Research Reviews and Reports","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117131436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We include 7 studies in different regions of Ethiopia. Materials and Methods: The databases, including PubMed, Google scholar were systematically searched from 2015 to 2020. Data were extracted and tabulated by two reviewers using a table containing the following variables: author, title, date of publication, city(s)/ Region / study design, sample size, percentage women with informal education and percentage women with formal education and underweight. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for cross-sectional studies quality assessment tool was adapted and used to assess the quality of each study. The combined adjusted Odds ratios (OR)) and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using random effect model. Results: In the current meta-analysis seven observational studies involving 3113 lactating women’s were used to estimate the pooled effect size of underweight. The result of 7 included studies indicated that the pooled odd ratio of underweight among women with informal education compared with women with formal education in Ethiopia was 2.47 (95% CI: 1.69, 3.83). Publication bias for estimating the odd ratio of underweight for women with informal education compared to women with formal education (p = 0.881) and (p = 0.649 ) respectively Heterogeneity was statistically significant (I2=76% Q=25.06; P<0•001). From 54.35% (1692) women who have informal education 16.35% (509) women have underweight. The overall proportion of underweight was 16.35% and 6.58% for those having informal education and formal education respectively. Conclusions: There was evidence that lactating mothers with informal education are more likely to experience underweight. Based on our findings, we strongly recommended that the health education activities about nutrition should be targeted among lactating women with informal education through health extension workers","PeriodicalId":137237,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pathology Research Reviews and Reports","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126082661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accumulation of various genetic and epigenetic changes, in normal cells gives cancer cells a selective advantage over healthy cells, and lead to cancer initiation and progression. Interactions of tumor cells with other cells within their reach, the microenvironment, is an important component in carcinogenesis. Its treatment is based on our level of understanding of its biology. Breast cancer is a collection of complex and heterogeneous diseases with distinct histopathological features. It arises due to abnormal growths of the cells lining the breast lobules hence men and women can develop it, although very rare in men (less than ). There are different types of breast cancer, and the most common are the invasive and non-invasive cancers. Usually, it is common to study breast cancer tumors as isolated entities, but its biological and molecular structure are indicative of an unstable heterogeneous disease with multiple subtypes coexisting within a tumor. Many studies with different methodologies have been carried out to understand cancer development and progression, however, another approach of mathematical oncology has emerged. This approach uses mathematical and computational techniques to unpack generation, growth and evolution of cancer cells.

Objectives: This study aimed at determining the diagnostic accuracy of Xpert MTB/RIF in diagnosing sputum smear-negative pulmonary tuberculosis keeping AFB microscopy as the gold standard. Design: For 4 months, one morning sputum smear was performed for every TB suspect (cough lasting >3 weeks, as defined in Congolese’s national guidelines) with AFB microscopy and GeneXpert. Results: Of 90 TB suspects for whom AFB microscopy and GeneXpert were performed, 79 (87.78%) sputum smear-negative 17 (21.52%) GeneXpert positive cases were identified. During the study, 11 (12.22%) sputum smear-positive cases were diagnosed. GeneXpert has greatly contributed to increasing the total number of bacteriologically proven cases.
