Article Abstract

Background: Effective workflow management in a diagnostic pathology laboratory is critical to achieve rapid turnover while maintaining high quality. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis (FISH) is the preferred technique for detecting single chromosomal aberrations in diagnostic surgical pathology.

Material And Methods: FISH analysis applying a rapid hybridization protocol and using an automated whole-slide fluorescence scanning device (3DHISTECH, Sysmex, Switzerland) were implemented in our workflow. By analyzing 42 diagnostic cases, effects of two different scanning profiles on scanning time, and device memory usage were investigated. Manual signal counting (CaseViewer) and software based signal counting (FISHQuant) were compared.

Results: The two scanning profiles, both including a Z-stack function, differed in their exposure time and digital gain. The "low profile" setting (LP) resulted in a significantly shorter scanning time and lower storage volume compared to the "high profile" (HP) setting, making the LP ideal for routine applications. Both signal counting methods (manual versus software based) provided similar cut-offs on a test-cohort of 13 samples.

Conclusion: Scanning FISH slides provides good picture quality, reduces the analysis time and allows easy picture archiving and facilitates remote diagnostics, allowing an effective workflow.

Changing land use and land cover dynamics in Chhilchhila Wildlife Sanctuary, Haryana, India: a winter migratory bird study.

Environ Monit Assess

September 2025

Department of Geography, Institute of Integrated & Honors Studies, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra, 136119, Haryana, India.

The Chhilchhila Wildlife Sanctuary serves as a vital wintering ground and key stopover for the Central Asian Flyway, providing essential habitats for numerous migratory bird species. Fortnightly field surveys for 2 years were conducted periodically from October 2022 to September 2024, employing line-cum-point transect counts across four transects of the study area. A total of 62 winter migrant avian species from 10 orders, 26 families, and 42 genera were recorded.

To explore the role and mechanism of the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) pathway in rat retinal precursor R28 cell injury caused by the (E50K) mutation. This experimental study was conducted from November 2023 to October 2024. The retinas of 18-month-old wild-type (WT) mice and normal tension glaucoma mice with the (E50K) mutation were extracted for proteomic analysis.

This research explored the effects of ginseng residue oligosaccharides (GRO-N) and ginseng polysaccharides (GP-N) on alleviating allergic rhinitis (AR). In a rat model induced by ovalbumin (OVA), both high doses of GRO-N (GRO-N-H) and GP-N (GP-N-H) significantly decreased the frequency of sneezing and rubbing behaviors in AR-affected rats. Histopathological evaluations and cytokine analyses revealed that GRO-N-H and GP-N-H notably lowered the count of goblet cells and reduced inflammatory cytokine levels in these rats.

Stable cytokine network during hypoxia and exercise in patients with Fontan circulation.

Int J Cardiol

Department of Molecular and Cellular Sports Medicine, German Sport University Cologne, Am Sportpark Müngersdorf 6, 50933 Cologne, Germany. Electronic address:

Background: Patients with Fontan circulation are often advised to avoid hypoxic exposure due to presumed cardiopulmonary vulnerability. Low-grade inflammation has also been reported in this population and may be influenced by hypoxia and/or exercise. Based on the potential interaction between hypoxia and submaximal exercise in modulating inflammatory signaling, we hypothesized that this combination could exacerbate subclinical inflammation.
