Lightly crushing the lemongrass releases essential oils that lend a subtle lemon flavor to this cocktail. You can use the same stalk to stir several drinks.
Published: April 2014 Servings: 1
- 1 red or green Thai chile
- 2 oz. London dry gin
- 1 oz. Cocchi Americano
- 1 stalk lemongrass
PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions

Photography exhibit depicts Jewish life in the South

The reception is open to the public free of charge, and the exhibition will be on display at Bates through Wednesday, Oct. 5. For more information, call 207-786-8376.

Aron's photographs, commissioned by the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience in Jackson, Miss., portray the Southern Jewish experience through photographs and first-person stories.

Join the informed, opinionated journalists of The Times' editorial staff in lively discussions at our blog Ed Cetera.
Wedge wolf, if you are out there, run for your life
If Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife estimate is correct, there's an outside chance that one lonely wolf remains from the Wedge pack in the northeast corner of Washington state.
If so, here's some advice: Flee to Canada. It's only seven miles away, well within your range since you probably came here from there or from Wyoming, Idaho or Montana. Save yourself. Go back where you came from because plans are to wipe out the whole pack.
The wildlife department estimated that the pack had at least eight animals before one was shot earlier this summer. Six have been killed this week, including the alpha male and female, by marksmen firing from a helicopter.
That leaves the outside possibility of one lone wolf left from the Wedge pack. The department has ended its "lethal removal," but just to be safe, canis lupis, head north.
The wildlife department said all the animals had to be killed because they had become dependent on killing and eating livestock to survive. Since July, the wolves may have killed or injured 17 cows and calves.
NBC News interviewed Dave Ware, a spokesman for the wildlife department, who said, "The concept of killing an endangered species to promote recovery is difficult to understand or accept."
He got that right.
There are at least eight wolf packs in Washington state . . . oops, make that seven . . . , and Ware says lethal removal hasn't stopped the re-establishment of wolves, which had been hunted almost to extinction a century ago. The Wedge area, he says, is such good habitat the wolves will probably return in the next year or two.
But won't that mean lethal removal for them once again unless something is done to keep livestock and wolves separated?
Maybe a first step in that direction is writing into agreements with ranchers who have grazing rights on public lands that livestock's lethal contact with wildlife is a risk ranchers have to accept. Wolf kills on private property would be compensated as they are now, but if it happens on wolf turf, that's the call of the wild.

Re:"After you pass Joseph you come to the Father through His Son, Jesus Christ. Mormon doctrine refers to Christ as being our advocate and mediator with the Father. "
Wow, that is kind of disturbing.. So Mormons believe that Joseph Smith decides who goes to heaven before God even gets a chance to have a say? And when God has a say, Jesus mediates advocating for the people, but when Joseph Smith has his prior say it's just Josephs whim? It seems to put Joseph Smith as a more important and influential judge than God, which sounds horribly odd from a Christian perspective, but I guess the Mormon view of God is that he's just one link in an endless chain of Gods which Joseph Smith would eventually be a part of.

Farnsworth Signs Major League Deal With Astros
Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports that the Houston Astros have signed righthander Kyle Farnsworth to a major league deal.

The Mets have released righthanded reliever Kyle Farnsworth, who up until three days ago was given a vote of confidence by Terry Collins as the team's closer. Farnsworth could choose an assignment in Vegas, but that's highly unlikely. When asked if he was bitter, Farnsworth responded, "Yes, really bitter. Hopefully I find a team to play against this team." Looks like Josh...

Q&A: Kyle Farnsworth, an Intimidating Career
Kyle Farnsworth is intimidating. The Tampa Bay Rays right-hander throws hard and isn't afraid to come inside. He is also a sculpted 6-foot-4, 240 pounds with a background in martial arts. Charging the mound against him has never been a good idea. That tough-guy image has overshadowed a long and mostly successful career. Farnsworth has never been a star, but he has appeared in 814...
Rays sign reliever Kyle Farnsworth to new deal
Kyle Farnsworth and the Tampa Bay Rays have reached a one-year agreement for 2013. Farnsworth, 36, will have a base salary near $1.5 million and can earn more in performance incentives. Farnsworth missed the start of last season while dealing with an elbow injury. He was activated in late July. Last season Farnsworth had a 4.00 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP in 27 innings of work. He has pitched...

As with most hobbies, including necessary hobbies, many of us get caught up in "the gear". Whether its photography, bicycling, motorcycles, or what, we all have a list of stuff we'd like to have. I shot M-16's, M-79 Grenade launcher, and M-14's in the army, but not lately. While I started carrying a handgun for personal and family protection nearly seven years ago, I can't help but have a list of guns I'd just like to own, even though I would rarely get to shoot them, especially the Barrett. My list in no particular order:

Guns? What guns? Oh, I haven't seen those since I left my garage door open one night by mistake.

Article: Utility of a limited panel of calretinin and Ber-EP4 immunocytochemistry on cytospin preparation of serous effusions: A cost-effective measure in resource-limited settings.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Differentiation between reactive, but morphologically atypical, mesothelial cells and adenocarcinoma in effusions can be problematic. Elaborate immunohistochemical panels have been devised. Techniques like DNA analysis, flow/image cytometry, and K-ras mutation analysis are research oriented and difficult to perform in routine, especially in resource-poor centers. We evaluated the efficacy of a limited two-antibody panel comprising calretinin and Ber-EP4 on cytospin and cell block preparations, in 100 effusion samples. Fifty cases of reactive mesothelial hyperplasia and 50 cases of adenocarcinoma diagnosed by cytomorphology in ascitic/pleural fluid specimens over a 2-year period were assessed. The diagnoses were confirmed by clinical/histopathologic correlation. Cytospin smears were made in all. Cell blocks were prepared, wherever adequate fluid was available. Immunocytochemistry (ICC) for calretinin and Ber-EP4 was performed. Forty-five of the reactive effusion cases (90%) were calretinin reactive and Ber-EP4 negative. Among the adenocarcinoma cases, 49 (98%) were calretinin negative but Ber-EP4 positive. Thus, both calretinin and Ber-EP4 had a high sensitivity (90% and 98%, respectively), as well as a high specificity (100% and 86%, respectively). In the 21 reactive mesothelial cases, whose cell blocks were made, results were comparable to those on cytospin. However, of the 19 adenocarcinoma cases in which cell blocks were prepared, all were Ber-EP4 immunopositive except for three, which were positive on cytospin, implying false-negative results on cell blocks. A limited panel of two monoclonal antibodies, calretinin and Ber-EP4, may be useful in cytology, as a "primary antibody panel", for accurate diagnosis and patient management. Additionally, ICC can be performed easily on cytospin preparations, which gave results comparable to cell blocks in our study.CytoJournal 01/2011; 8:14.
Article: Apoptotic protein expression, glycogen content, DNA ploidy and cell proliferation in hepatoblastoma subtyping and their role in prognostication.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To evaluate Bcl-xL, Bax, PCNA, cytokeratin 19 (CK-19), glycogen content and DNA ploidy expression in hepatoblastoma (HB) and their prognostic value. This retrospective study on 26 cases of HB involved DNA ploidy estimations separately for various subtypes on histological sections using image cytometry of Feulgen-stained smears. Glycogen content, PCNA, CK-19, Bax and Bcl-xL expression on tissue sections were evaluated. THE outcome on follow-up (mean 86 months) and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were performed. Fetal areas were diploid (84%); embryonal areas were aneuploid (89.47%) (p < 0.001). PCNA labeling index was low in fetal (10.82%) and high in embryonal areas (59.85%) (p = 0.03). CK-19 was negative in fetal, but focally positive in embryonal areas. Bax was negative in fetal (80%) and positive in embryonal areas (88.23%) (p < 0.001); Bcl-xL was more frequently positive in fetal (90%) than embryonal areas (52.94%) (p = 0.02). Fetal cells were rich in glycogen. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed good initial radiological response to chemotherapy (p = 0.009), glycogen content (p = 0.0137) and DNA diploid cases (p = 0.0429) were associated with good outcome on univariate analysis. Histology typing (p = 0.085), Bcl-xL (p = 0.689), Bax (p = 0.27), CK-19 (p = 0.281), PCNA (p = 0.689), age (p = 0.24), sex (p = 0.5661), stage (p = 0.24) and α-fetoprotein levels (p = 0.49) were unrelated to outcome. Multivariate analysis showed glycogen content to be the most statistically significant variable (0.024). Fetal and embryonal areas show different staining patterns for PCNA, Bax and Bcl-xL. DNA ploidy and glycogen content are significant prognostic variables.Pediatric Surgery International 12/2010; 26(12):1173-8. · 1.22 Impact Factor
Article: Apoptotic protein expression in favorable-histology Wilms tumor correlates with tumor recurrence.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Outcome for patients with Wilms tumor (WT) with favorable histology is good. Deletions of chromosomes 1p and 16q impart a poorer outcome. Value of apoptotic protein expression is not clear. Expression of four immunohistochemically detectable apoptosis-regulating proteins (bcl-2, bcl-x, bax and p53) were analyzed in 30 specimens of WT and compared to recurrence and recurrence-free survival (RFS). The 30 patients included ranged from 4 to 72 months in age (mean 31). The mean available follow-up was 35.3 months (range 1-54). Six patients developed recurrence. The 5-year RFS for blastema-predominant tumors was 40% as compared to 91% for triphasic histology which was significant (p = 0.048). The 5-year RFS in patients with bcl-2 negative tumors was 63% as compared to 100% for bcl-2 positive tumors, the difference being significant (p = 0.019). The 5-year RFS in patients with p-53 positive tumors was 27% as compared to 91% for p-53 negative tumors; however, this difference in the RFS was not statistically significant (p = 0.143). bax and bcl-x expression were not related to the RFS. Tumors that are bcl-2 negative have a relatively higher recurrence rate and a poorer RFS. They may benefit from a more intensive follow-up regime for early detection of recurrence.Pediatric Surgery International 10/2010; 27(3):303-8. · 1.22 Impact Factor
Article: Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma with calcification: Report of a case with rare finding on aspiration smears.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (ChRCC) is a distinct variant of renal cell carcinoma. It is important to identify this entity because it has a significantly better prognosis than clear cell (conventional) renal cell carcinoma. We report the case of a 56-year-old male who presented with 10 days history of painless hematuria. There was no palpable swelling or systemic symptoms. On radiological examination the possibility of a right renal neoplasm was considered. Ultrasound guided aspiration was done and cytological features of ChRCC were noted. In addition, numerous foci of calcification were seen, which was an unusual cytological feature for ChRCC. The characteristic cytomorphology of ChRCC makes it possible to render a preoperative diagnosis on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). We report the case to emphasize the importance and possibility of diagnosing of ChRCC on cytology. In addition, the extensive calcification as seen in our case is an unusual cytological finding not previously reported in cytology smears.Diagnostic Cytopathology 10/2008; 36(9):647-50. · 1.49 Impact Factor
Article: Cervical acid phosphatase detection: A guide to abnormal cells in cytology smear screening for cervical cancer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Cervical acid phosphatase-Papanicolaou (CAP-PAP) test has recently been described for detection of acid phosphatase enzyme in abnormal squamous cells, and has been proposed as a biomarker-based technology for the screening of cervical cancer. Materials and Methods: Eighty-one consecutive cervical smears were subjected to routine Papanicolaou (Pap) staining as well as CAP-PAP, which combined cytochemical staining for acid phosphatase with modified Pap stain. Statistical evaluation of its utility was examined. Results: Of 81 smears, 16 (19.75%) showed the presence of mature squamous cells with acid phosphatase by CAP-PAP technique and were considered positive. Of these 16, atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) or above were initially diagnosed in five of the corresponding routine Pap smears. After re-evaluation with CAP-PAP, eight of the routine Pap smears were considered to have ASCUS or above. Of these eight, three were reported as low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions and five as ASCUS on conventional Pap smears. The remaining 8/16 CAP-PAP-positive cases were negative for atypical squamous cells on the corresponding Pap smears. None of the CAP-PAP-negative smears were positive on routine Pap smear screening. Conclusions: This study highlights the efficacy of CAP-PAP in quality assurance of cervical smear screening. It is also an inexpensive method for segregating smears for subsequent re-screening. In the absence of trained cytologists in peripheral laboratories, this technique can be adopted for identifying smears that would require proper evaluation.Journal of Cytology. 01/2008;
Article: Comparative evaluation of smear cytology & hybrid capture II for the diagnosis of cervical cancer.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: There is no ideal screening method for cervical cancer in India with the role of human papilloma virus (HPV) detection yet to be established. This study was undertaken to compare the diagnostic accuracy of HPV testing by hybrid capture II (HC-II) with conventional cervical smear cytology for squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL). This prospective study was conducted at New Delhi during 2003-2004 with patients selected from the gynaecology out patients of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences. Initial screening by a questionnaire and per-speculum examination were used to select high-risk patients. Patients, in whom conventional cytology, HC-II test and colposcopy-directed biopsy were done, formed the basis of this study. Of the 133 patients included in the study, incidence on biopsy of low grade SIL (L-SIL) was 6.77 per cent, high grade SIL (H-SIL) was 8.27 per cent and carcinoma was 3.00 per cent. Sensitivity and specificity of cytology for detection of H-SIL and above lesions was 93.33 and 83.49 per cent while for HC-II it was 93.33 and 90.83 per cent, respectively. HC-II had higher diagnostic accuracy of 91.13 per cent versus 84.68 per cent for cytology. Kappa for HC-II was higher (0.67) than cytology (0.52). Among patients diagnosed to have atypical squamous cells (ASC-US & ASC-H) and L-SIL, HC-II helped to select patients who had significant lesions on biopsy. The main utility of HC-II is in the triage of patients with cytology smear diagnosis of ASC-US, ASC-H or L-SIL, for referral to colposcopic examination. HC-II alone has the best diagnostic accuracy but owing to high cost it is unsuitable for general screening in developing countries. Combining HC-II with cytology will refer smaller numbers for colposcopy,improving efficient utilization of available resources.The Indian Journal of Medical Research 07/2007; 126(1):39-44. · 2.06 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) enjoys popularity among clinicians worldwide, as a first line of investigation in all patients with lymphadenopathy and is preferred over biopsy because of its minimally invasive nature and cost-effectiveness. Although non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) are conventionally diagnosed and graded on biopsy specimens, it may be useful to be able to not only diagnose but also grade these cases on FNAC smears. The WHO and REAL classifications forming the basis of treatment in some centres rely on clinical features, immunocytochemistry and cytogenetics, which are beyond reach of most centres in the developing countries. This study therefore is aimed at diagnosing and grading NHLs on morphological parameters. The cytologic grading accuracy is compared with the histologic grades assigned according to the International Working Formulation (IWF) system which relies solely on morphological features, most important of which is cell size. Ninety five cases were retrieved over a 3 year period (May 2000 to April 2003). These were (i) cases where a cytological diagnosis of NHL or suspicious of NHL was made and corresponding histological sections available and (ii) cases where a diagnosis of NHL was made in histology and corresponding FNAC smears were available irrespective of the cytological diagnosis. The diagnostic accuracy of FNAC for NHLs was determined using histology as the gold standard. Cases were also graded on FNAC smears using a three tier grading system based upon cell size into low, intermediate and high grades. Cytologically assigned grades were correlated with the corresponding histological grades (IWF) to determine grading accuracy. An accurate diagnosis of NHL was thus possible in 67/95 (70.5%) cases. Overall accurate grading was seen in 65/95 (68%) cases using cytological criteria. Accurate cytologic grading was possible in 14/15 (93.33%) low grade, 11/18 (61.11%) intermediate and 40/62 (64.5%) high grade non Hodgkin's lymphomas. Kappa statistics revealed a very good agreement between cytological and histological grades for low grade NHL. The kappa scores for intermediate and high grade NHLs indicated moderate agreement. Using the two-tier system grading the kappa value for high grade lymphomas improved to 0.72, indicating good concordance. This study highlights the utility of FNAC as a morphological tool for diagnosing and grading NHLs in a significant number of cases. This modality may assist clinicians in management of cases of NHLs, especially in centres working within the constraints of limited availability or non availability of ancillary techniques.Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology 02/2007; 50(1):46-50. · 0.68 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Visual inspection of cervix after application of acetic acid (VIA) is an effective screening tool for cervical cancer in low resource settings, but its low specificity leads to high referral rates. Adjunctive testing may overcome this drawback. This pilot study was aimed to assess test performances of VIA, human papillomavirus (HPV) testing and Pap smear, individually and in simulated combinations, to determine the probable best screening option. Gynecology outpatient department (OPD); cross-sectional study. One hundred women with complaints of irregular vaginal bleeding or discharge, post coital bleeding or unhealthy cervix on examination underwent Pap smear, HPV testing, VIA, colposcopy and biopsy, if indicated, in this screening order. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated for each of the tests with a biopsy result of > or =HSIL taken as the gold standard. Simulated parallel and sequential combinations for VIA/Pap, VIA/HPV and HPV/Pap were calculated and compared with individual test performance. Prevalence of abnormal Pap smears was 5%, VIA positive 51% and HPV positive 16%. Sensitivity and specificity of VIA were 100% and 53.3% respectively. For HPV and Pap tests corresponding figures were 85.7%, 89.7% and 50%, 98.9% respectively. The best simulated combination with a balance of sensitivity and specificity was of VIA followed by HPV testing (sensitivity 85.7%, specificity 95.4%). Addition of HPV testing to VIA can increase the specificity of VIA, thereby reducing the referral rates without compromising the sensitivity of the test.Indian Journal of Cancer 01/2007; 44(2):51-5. · 1.13 Impact Factor
Article: Oncocytic carcinoid tumor of the lung: a case report of diagnostic pitfall in filter membrane preparation of bronchial washings.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Oncocytic carcinoid tumor of the lung is a rare variant of pulmonary carcinoid. This report describes the morphologic appearance of this rare tumor on filter membrane preparation along with potential pitfalls. A 49-year-old woman presented with cough and expectoration. On chest radiograph a mass lesion was seen in the upper zone of the right lung. Bronchial washings were sent for evaluation. On filter membrane (Millipore) preparation of bronchial washing the possibility of a non-small cell carcinoma, possibly squamous, was suggested. Right upper lobectomy was subsequently performed and a histologic diagnosis of oncocytic carcinoid given. The cytomorphologic features of this tumor on the Millipore preparation were reviewed. Differential diagnosis of oncocytic carcinoid should be kept in mind while assessing cytologic material when tumor cells show abundant granular cytoplasm and prominent nucleoli. Oncocytic carcinoid also must be differentiated from oncocytoma and granular cell tumor. Immunocytochemistry and electron microscopy are useful in confirming the diagnosis.Acta cytologica 01/2007; 51(6):907-10. · 0.69 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: This hospital-based study in New Delhi, North India was performed to evaluate the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in cases of invasive cervical carcinoma (ICC). A total of 10 cases presenting with an obvious cervical growth were included in this study. 108 cases that was shown to be ICC on histology (101 squamous cell carcinomas, 4 adenocarcinomas, and one neuroendocrine carcinoma) were included in the analysis. DNA was extracted from tumor tissue and HPV genotype was determined by a consensus PCR assay using a reverse line blot hybridization assay. Of 106 evaluable cases, 104 (98.1%) were positive for HPV infection. Twelve different high-risk HPV types were found. There were 125 infections, 119 of which were high risk. Six cases had associated low risk infections. HPV 16 was the commonest type, seen in 73.6% cases followed by HPV 18 (14.2%) and 45 (11.3%). A vaccine with 100% efficacy in prevention of HPV 16 and 18 infections would theoretically reduce the total cancer burden in New Delhi by more than 75% (assuming 100% coverage). Increasing the genotype spectrum (e.g. valency) if the existing vaccines would be expected to have only a modest impact on the potential for cervical protection.International Journal of Gynecological Pathology 11/2006; 25(4):398-402. · 1.41 Impact Factor
Article: Utility of galectin 3 expression in thyroid aspirates as a diagnostic marker in differentiating benign from malignant thyroid neoplasms.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Galectin-3 is a 31kD beta-galactoside binding lectin, which is known to be expressed in various neoplasms including thyroid tumors. This study was conducted to study the role of galectin-3 in differentiating benign from malignant thyroid nodules onfine needle aspirates (FNAC). Galectin-3 immuocytochemistry was performed in 70 cases with adequate smears. The cytology diagnosis of these cases was: papillary carcinoma (25), follicular neoplasm (16), adenomatous goiter (20), hyperplastic nodule (5), medullary carcinoma (5) and anaplastic carcinoma (1). Galectin-3 positivity was seen in 80% of papillary carcinomas, 37.5% offollicular neoplasms and in 60% of benign nodules. The single case of anaplastic carcinoma was positive but all the cases of medullary carcinoma were negativefor galectin-3. Three of thefollicular neoplasms that were diagnosed on histology as carcinoma were positive on cytology and one case offollicular adenoma was also positive. Our study shows that galectin-3 is strongly expressed in smears of papillary carcinoma. However, since it is also expressed in a variety of benign lesions, its role as a pre-surgical markerfor differentiating benignfrom malignant thyroid nodules is limited.Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology 08/2006; 49(3):376-80. · 0.68 Impact Factor
Article: Value of scoring system in classification of proliferative breast disease on fine needle aspiration cytology.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is successful in identification of benign and malignant breast lesions, but its role in proliferative breast lesions which increase cancer risk is poorly defined. We have analyzed the cytomorphologic features of proliferative breast lesions in conjunction with cytologic scoring system proposed by Masood et al and with histopathology. Sixty two patients (14 cases of fibroadenoma, 15 cases of fibroadenoma with atypia, 11 cases of proliferative breast disease (PBD), 8 cases of PBD with atypia and 14 cases of carcinoma) diagnosed on routine FNA were subjected to scoring following Masood's criteria. All cases with the cytologic diagnosis of fibroadenoma were confirmed on histology. Of 11 cases of PBD on FNA, 10 were PBD without atypia on histology. One case, which showed atypical hyperplasia on histology, was missed by both the scoring system and cytomorphology and one case was over-diagnosed as PBD with atypia by the scoring system. FNA cytology correctly identified all the carcinoma cases, while the scoring system under-diagnosed 2 cases as PBD with atypia. Hence, in cases not suspected to be atypical or confirmed to be cancer on routine cytology, scoring added no information over and above cytomorphology and was not useful. All fourteen cases of fibroadenoma with atypia suspected on routine cytology were fibroadenoma on histology. Scoring system correctly placed 11/14 of these cases as PBD without atypia. Similarly 3/8 cases thought to be PBD with atypia were correctly placed as PBD without atypia by scoring. Only 2/8 cases thought to be PBD with atypia on cytology were confirmed to have atypical hyperplasia on histology. Scoring improved the diagnostic yield to 2/5. Hence, in cases of fibroadenoma or PBD, suspected on FNAC to have cytological atypia, Masood scoring gives additional information by eliminating benign cases and improving diagnostic yield. Application of scoring in a step-wise manner, on atypical aspirates, can help in selection of cases suitable for biopsy.Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology 08/2006; 49(3):334-40. · 0.68 Impact Factor
Article: Role of fine-needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of secondary tumors of the thyroid--twenty years' experience.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Secondary tumors of the thyroid, presenting as thyroid nodules although rare, have been documented in literature. This study highlights the frequency, primary sites, and the role of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in evaluating secondary tumors of the thyroid at a tertiary care hospital. There were 24 documented cases of secondary tumors of the thyroid from 1982 to 2002 (20 years). The aspirates and histology slides of all these cases were reviewed and the findings noted. On FNAC, 17 cases were diagnosed as secondary tumors, 3 as primary, and in 4 cases it was difficult to categorize the tumors as either primary or secondary. In 12 out of 24 cases, the primary tumor was seen to arise in the larynx (9), and in other sites anatomically close to the thyroid including the trachea (1), and the esophagus (2). Metastases from distant organs were also observed. Secondary tumors of the thyroid are rare and should be suspected in patients when the FNAC shows cytological features not seen in primary thyroid tumors. FNAC alone was required to accurately diagnose secondary tumors of the thyroid in a majority of cases (17/24); however, in some cases ancillary techniques may be required for a definite diagnosis.Diagnostic Cytopathology 03/2006; 34(3):240-5. · 1.49 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Abstract OBJECTIVE: To study the cytomorphologic features of 59 cases of histologically proven follicular variant of papillary carcinoma (FVPC), compare them to those described in the literature and highlight cytologic features that may aid in the preoperative diagnosis. STUDY DESIGN: Aspiration smears from 59 histologically proven cases of FVPC were examined independently by 2 observers, and a detailed cytologic evaluation was done for architectural, cytologic and nuclear features. surgical RESULTS: On initial cytology of the 59 cases, 36 (61%) were diagnosed aspapillary carcinoma, and 17 of these were subtyped as FVPC. On reviewing the smears, 50 cases were diagnosed as papillary carcinoma, and 33 of them were typed as FVPC; however, 4 cases were diagnosed as benign lesions. Most smears showed moderate to high cellularity, with 55 cases (93%) showing syncytial clusters and 48 (81%) showing microfollicular architecture. Chromatin clearing and nuclear grooves were seen in 55 (93.2%) and 54 (91.52%) cases but were easily detected in only 36 (61%) and 44 (74%) cases, respectively. Thick colloid was identified in 28 cases, and 3 of these cases also showed thin colloid in the background. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that syncytial clusters, microfollicular architecture, chromatin clearing and nuclear grooves are strong morphologic pointers to the diagnosis of FVPC.Acta cytologica 01/2006; 50(6):663-668. · 0.69 Impact Factor

Article: Fine-needle aspiration cytology of glycogen-rich carcinoma of breast: report of a case and review of literature.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Glycogen-rich carcinoma (GRC) of the breast is a rare histological subtype of breast cancer having a poor prognosis. There are very few case reports describing the cytological features of GRC on fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). In this report we present the case of a 34-yr-old woman who underwent FNAC of a clinically palpable breast lump. The aspirate was cellular showing tumor cells in groups, clusters and lying singly. The tumor cells had abundant eosinophilic, finely granular to vacuolated cytoplasm with moderate to marked nuclear pleomorphism. With a cytological diagnosis of carcinoma, a wide local excision was performed. On histology a diagnosis of GRC was made with the tumor cells showing abundant glycogen. The presence of cells with abundant granular to finely vacuolated cytoplasm in a case of breast carcinoma, should point toward the possibility of GRC and other clear cell tumors of the breast. Demonstration of glycogen is required to make a definite diagnosis on cytology.Diagnostic Cytopathology 11/2005; 33(4):263-7. · 1.49 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The largest series, to date, of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) findings in clear-cell sarcoma of the kidney (CCSK) is presented. All fine-needle aspirates of pediatric renal masses over a 17-yr period were reviewed. Eight out of 119 aspirates from late-stage childhood renal tumors (6.72%) were found to be CCSK. Ten aspirates from these eight patients and histopathological confirmation in six patients were available. Aspirates were cellular with three cell types: cord cells, septal cells, and small pyknotic cells. Cord cells, seen in all aspirates, were large polygonal cells with abundant eccentrically placed wispy cytoplasm, round to oval nuclei, and fine dusty chromatin. Occasional bare nuclei and frequent nuclear grooves were also seen. Small pyknotic cells were a degenerative change identified in 9 out of 10 aspirates. Stromal fragments with branching vascular cores were seen in 8 out of 10 aspirates, 6 of which had myxoid substance surrounding the vessel. Septal cells were spindle shaped and usually embedded in the stromal fragments. On the basis of cytology and histology, cases were classified into classical CCSK (5 cases), spindle-cell CCSK (1 case), and anaplastic CCSK (2 cases). Classical CCSK showed mostly cord cells with few stromal fragments. Spindle-cell CCSK showed preponderance of myxoid stromal fragments and septal cells. Anaplastic CCSK showed bizarre pleomorphic nuclei, coarse chromatin, and atypical mitosis. Cytology of CCSK is a spectrum with varying proportions of cord cells, septal cells, and mucopolysaccharide substance. Anaplastic CCSK is liable to misdiagnosis as Wilms tumor (WT) with unfavourable histology. Presence of eccentric cytoplasm in cord cells and nuclear grooves are the key to differentiation from Wilms tumor, including anaplastic variants.Diagnostic Cytopathology 09/2005; 33(2):83-9. · 1.49 Impact Factor
Article: Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia of the breast-cytological features of two cases and review of literature.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) of the breast is a lesion characterized on histology by the presence of anastomosing slit like spaces embedded in a hyalinized fibrous stroma. Till date, the cytological features of PASH have been described in only 12 cases, of which two cases were diagnosed on aspiration cytology as suspicious for carcinoma and in one case, for phyllodes tumor. We describe the FNAC findings of two of our cases of PASH. The first case was diagnosed as a phyllodes tumor and the other case as a benign proliferative breast disease, possibly a fibroadenoma. A review of the published literature on cytology of PASH shows the morphological variations that can exist in the cytology smears of this lesion. FNAC findings of PASH are non-specific, and the role of FNAC in PASH is to confirm the benign nature of the lesion, rather than provide a definitive pre-surgical diagnosis.Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology 05/2005; 48(2):260-4. · 0.68 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Enlargement of the thyroid gland is a common occurrence in most parts of the world especially in the iodine-deficient goiter belt areas. Vast majority of these lesions are benign but they invariably lead to a series of investigations among which FNAC plays a pivotal role. Although many studies have reported diagnostic accuracy of FNAC in detecting neoplasms, there have been few studies where the role of FNAC in the diagnosis of goiter along with their diagnostic pitfalls has been evaluated. The present study was undertaken to assess the accuracy of FNAC in diagnosis of goiter and to highlight its limitations and diagnostic pitfalls. 771 cases over a five-year period were retrieved from the files of Cytopathology Laboratory, Department of Pathology at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. They included 733 cases where the cytological diagnosis was goiter or suggestive of goiter along with 38 cases in which the histological diagnosis was goiter while the cytological diagnosis was cystic change or neoplasm. FNAC with minimum of two passes were performed in each case and May Grünwald Giemsa and Papanicolaou stains were done. Histology was available in 192 cases. The cytological and histological concordance was determined and the FNAC smears and histological sections in cases showing discordance were reviewed. There was cytological and histological concordance 130/168 (77.38%) cases. In 34 cases (20.23%) no diagnosis could be offered because of cystic change. A false positive cytologic diagnosis of neoplasm was made in 4 cases. Presence of hurthle cell metaplasia, hyperplastic nodules and papillary hyperplasias were responsible for the false positive diagnoses. In 24 cases neoplasms were initially missed on FNAC of which 10 cases could be detected on review while 5 cases were considered unsatisfactory. Sampling errors were mainly responsible for these false negative diagnoses. FNAC is thus an accurate and reliable diagnostic tool for management of goiters provided strict adherence to adequacy criteria are maintained.Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology 05/2005; 48(2):166-9. · 0.68 Impact Factor

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 368 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by James101962 Great stay Our company held our sales kickoff at this Westin and not only was the location perfect, the hotel and staff did a great job throughout our entire event. The location allowed for a great harbor or city walk before and after our meetings, plenty of restaurants within walking distance, and outstanding service while we were in our meetings. Would highly recommend this hotel. August 22, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by chrschnell Nice location, but needs improvement The Location is nice and the Hotel makes a good first impression. The rooms are big enough and clean. Still there were some negative Points which mainly relate to the noise Level we experienced. There were a lot of teenagers in the hotel during our stay which run in the floors and shouted from one balcony to the other until after midnight and the Impression was as if somebody would run next to your bad, or shout within your room. Also the noise level from the starting and landing seaplanes was exceptionally loud. There seems to be no noise reduction by the door to the floor, or through the window, or at least same not satisfactory. Additionally the room service was not convincing and the breakfast to expensive. During checkout the reception did not even ask if we had a pleasant stay, nor if we have any comments. The only real great service we experienced was from the concierge desk which was always of real assistance. July 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chutney Great Vacation It was, once again, a pleasure to be able to stay at your hotel as we try to do twice a year for ten days. We experienced excellent service and courtesy from all the staff in which we came in contact. Thank you and, hopefully, we will see you all again soon. May 26, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by TEB1152 Westin Bayshore is superb I travel extensively for business and have stayed about 750 nights in various Starwood properties. The Westin Bayshore is one the best Starwood property at which I have stayed. My wife and I stayed five nights at this property. The location is probably the best in Vancouver. It is on the water. Stanley Park, the seaplane terminal, and the Seabus to North Vancouver are within easy walking distance. The views over Coal Harbor are stunning with great sunrises and the comings and goings of a major harbor and seaplane base The staff was both friendly and professional. The facilities are excellent. The breakfast buffet is the best that I have experienced. We noted an earlier review commenting that it was expensive. Although it may cost a few dollars more that at many other locations, it is well worth it because of the great selection and high quality. We hate to leave, and we already are planning for a return visit in the not too distant future. September 22, 2012

Rated 4 out of 5 by GolfingDad beautiful views The Westin Bayshore Vancouver is a beautiful hotel, in a stunning location.

The staff are welcoming, the heavenly beds are heavenly, and the cleanliness of the hotel is excellent March 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rose04 This hotel has great amenities. Bathrobes in the room are longer than I've seen anywhere else. That is less revealing and more comfortable. June 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sirdaav Hard to work out this hotel... I got a cheap rate, and was placed in the towers. I am guessing the main hotel building is nicer. However, some of the room looked reno'd, the door of the room was scratched and beaten and touched up badly with paint... This theme seemed to persist in the hotel, newer elevator insides, but the hallway where you wait for the elevator was very grubby on the walls... Million dollar view from the room, literally, but they cleaned the room and used neat bleach in the shower, it reeked, the pool area smell is very strong - in the lobby area outside, the coffee packets in the room were out of date - small stuff maybe, but it makes you wonder about attention to detail. The staff were great. The location is lvely, but a steep walk up into town if older or infirm - so be aware, there is no shuttle downtown if you need it, you'll be cabbing it. So it's a bit of a mixed bag, a nice hotel, nice setting, but there are far nicer out there, that said, for the price I paid, not the rack rates, it is worth it. January 19, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Frustrated5 Payment Error I stayed at your hotel on June 28th. Upon check out on June 29th I requested to pay by debit card. When the front desk attendant gave me my total, being the honest person i am, advised that they forgot to charge me for parking. After a few phone calls and 10-15 minutes later, he was finally able to add the charge on and give me my grand total. I provided him with my debit card which he ran through. I did not even get a receipt or invoice from him. 4 days later I received an email from Jake at the front desk, advising that the front desk rep had actually refunded me the charge and that i now owed double (amount they refunded plus the actual amount owed). I advised i did not want it charged on the credit card but would make arrangements to come pay on my debit card. I explained that living in Coquitlam and working in Surrey it is not easy to get downtown, and Jake told me that he will keep my account open until there is a convenient time to come make the payment. I then began to receive emails from the Credit manager that stated accounts cannot be open for more than 5 days and that if i did not go that day to pay, they were going to put it through on the credit card. I explained once again that i would not be able to make it down that day and do not put it through on the credit card. I then received an email saying that i needed to be there to make the payment by today, July 11th. I had to once again explain that I am unable to come as i work in Surrey and live in Coquitlam. I told them i would be able to pay this weekend. Throughout this whole ordeal, nothing was offered to compensate me for me being inconvenienced by YOUR employees error. I understand mistakes happen, but I feel like your front desk manager and credit manager should have been in discussions before the credit manager started emailing demanding payment by certain dates. Finally today, the credit manager offered me 5000 SPG points. Either way, this is nothing but a headache. I have organized work events at your venue and spent tens of thousands of dollars at your exact location and this is the first (and hopefully last) time i've been made to feel like I've done something wrong when i had no knowledge or control over the payment issue that occured. I'll definitely be in to clear up my account this weekend, as if i don't it feels like your credit manager is similar to a collections agent. July 11, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Roo007 Excellent hotel in the heart of Vancouver Excellent facilities and location. September 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mike46 Location, location, location We booked the Bayshore, even though it is more expensive than the other Starwood properties in town due to it's location by the water and close to Stanley park. We used the suite upgrade rewards for Platinum guests and good a nice junior suite on the 9th floor in the normal with a balcony towards the west, so getting afternoon sun. The view is a bit distracted by the tower building and looking down to the roof of the connecting building, but quite nice. We booked the SPG breakfast plus rate which was really worth it. A very good breakfast with lot's of choices, so we did not get bored even after 3 days. However it seems the servers are not used to this rate, as everybody had to check how to handle the coupon that was valid for 3 days. We arrived at the hotel at just after their normal check- in time of 3pm. The check-in lady wasn't sure if the room was ready, but after some 15 min wait in the nice hotel lobby we were off to our room. Beside the wait the downside was, that she did not recognize herself that the rate included breakfast, so we had to remind her. Check-out was smooth. September 24, 2012

Found hair stuck to walls, wasn't mine because I have short hair and I had just checked in! View is so beautiful though, balcony would have been so worth it! The restaurant I had dinner there and was good, although breakfast service was not a good experience.. Food is decent and is over-priced, waitress looks harassed, we waited for service and had to stand around to pay for 5 minutes! No one smiles to make it acceptable, for the breakfast price, friendliness would have been awesome. Also waitress did not hang around long enough to ask for options for a vegan customer.
