Topic: FNAC


  
  FNAC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FNAC stores are usually pretty large and can be compared to the old Incredible Universe or current Fry's chains in the USA.
They are however always very carefully and tastefully organized and furnished; they avoid the "industrial manufacturing plant" appearance common to supermarkets.
Unlike some retail chains, Fnac staff are generally knowledgeable in the specialist areas, helpful and willing to offer advice.

 CHEST: Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytologic Technique for Lung Cancer Has a High Potential of Malignant Cell Spread Through ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
FNAC was achieved with a 22-gauge needle and performed once for each tumor.
FNAC is a sensitive method for lung cancer diagnosis[1-3] and is employed during video-assisted thoracic surgery.[10-12] Examination of malignant cell spread following preoperative transthoracic FNAC has revealed little correlation between FNAC and malignant pleural cytology during surgery.
Between FNAC and tumor excision, inasmuch as FNAC is less traumatic than tumor excision, FNAC is preferable despite the higher potential of malignant cell spread.

FNAC is a potentially useful test in working up liver nodules seen on imaging studies, senior author Dr. Sheung-Tat Fan, from Queen Mary Hospital in Hong Kong, and colleagues note.
Moreover, the rate of extrahepatic tumor spread in the FNAC group was 2%, lower but not significantly different from the 6% rate seen in the non-FNAC group.
The results suggest that FNAC does not worsen resectability, raise the risk of extrahepatic tumor spread, or decrease long-term survival, they conclude.

 How is Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) done? - Heart - DoctorNDTV
Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) does not always succeed and therefore it is mandatory that we see the films and only if we expect that the yield from the FNAC would be significant then one would like to do the FNAC.
Usually in a peripheral lesion, the yield is satisfactory and the positivity rate is to the tune of 90-95%, that is, in over 90% of patients we succeed in hitting the lesion and taking out the cells from there which will give us some diagnosis.
However, in about 5-10% of patients, either one is not able to hit the lesion because it is located very close to a vital structure or the cells aspirated out of the lesion do not give a firm diagnosis and then we have to proceed for surgery and an open biopsy can be taken.

 CHEST: CT-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology of solitary pulmonary nodules: a prospective, randomized study of ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
CT-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of suspicious lung masses is a widely accepted, simple diagnostic method of relatively low cost, with negligible mortality and limited morbidity.[1] In patients with lung cancer that is inoperable owing to local factors or the patient's general condition, FNAC confirms the diagnosis and reveals the tumor type.
Patients were allocated randomly, in blocks of five, to FNAC with immediate cytologic study (group A, 110 patients) and without immediate cytologic study (group B, 110 patients).
When findings from FNAC either were positive for malignant tumor cells (MTC) or were nondiagnostic, the nodule was resected by thoracotomy or videothoracoscopy, and a definite histologic diagnosis was thus obtained.

 ASTP Meeting Abstracts 1997 ph1-105.htm Contribution of the Expression of ICAM-1, HLA-DR and IL-2R to the Fine-Needle ...
Sequential FNAC has been used to monitor rejection, but has 2 weak points: it diagnoses rejection only when the infiltrating cells are already damaging the graft and, in some borderline cases, with low increments of inflammatory cells in the graft, FNAC lacks specificity to diagnose rejection.
FNAC were classified as: 1) Normal Graft (NG): TCI <2.5 and no changes in renal tubular cells, 2) Acute tubular Necrosis: TCI <2.5 and changes in renal tubular cells (ATN), 3) Incipient Immune Activation (IIA), 4) Acute Cellular Rejection (ACR).
In conclusion, the expression of IL-2R in lymphoid cells and ICAM-1 in tubular cells are increased during rejection episodes and their up-regulation precedes both the clinical and the routine FNAC diagnosis of rejection by one week.

 Detection of regional melanoma metastases by ultrasound B-scan, cytology or tyrosinase RT-PCR of fine-needle aspirates
Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) enhances the diagnostic accuracy in such patients but, unfortunately, reaches its technical limits, particularly when very small or necrotic lesions are examined.
Technically, FNAC was successful in all 81 lymph nodes, while FNA-PCR failed to obtain RNA at detectable levels in two lymph nodes of two patients.
Of 79 lesions which have been completely evaluated by B-scan, FNAC and FNA-PCR, 44 proved to be melanoma metastases by histopathology, while the remaining 35 lesions were finally classified as non-specific lymph nodes.

Nothing leaves certainty as for the possibility of one passage to the new FNAC of Brussels.
According to many obscure experts, the inscription "Brüsel" would indicate that the new Fnac also exists on the obscure continent and that the reason of the removal of Fnac in other buildings would be due to the search of a more favourable Passage place towards its Brüsellois homonym.
This theory, according to these researchers, seems all the more probable since the all new buildings of City2 would be a probable Passage place.
