    Notes: In this study a review of 1948 nipple discharge (ND) samples from 1530 patients in the age range of 18–83 years was undertaken to determine whether cytological findings from ND smears could provide useful diagnostic information regarding various breast lesions. The study included 1494 females and 36 males and was carried out during a period of 20 years 8 months. The clinical information in all patients was obtained from clinicians (coauthors†), medical records and a review of biopsies in 205 patients who had undergone surgery following the cytodiagnosis. Of the ND samples examined, 1480 were unilateral while 468 were from 234 bilateral ND. The cytodiagnoses were: benign 624, inadequate (despite two to three repeat samples) 492, inflammatory 96, papillary lesion not otherwise specified (NOS) 229, suspicious 22 (21 females, one male) and malignant 67 (63 females, four males). A breast biopsy in the 22 suspicious cases revealed breast carcinoma in 18 cases (females n = 17, male n = 1), atypical ductal hyperplasia (female n = 1), fibroadenoma (female n = 1) and a papilloma in two females. In the 67 cases with a diagnosis of malignancy 65 revealed a breast carcinoma in the biopsy (female n = 62, male n = 3) while one female was diagnosed as fibroadenoma and one male as florid gynaecomastia. In 63 cases (females n = 61; males n = 2) with clinical lumpy areas consistent with the diagnosis of fibrocystic condition in ND, the biopsy confirmed a fibrocystic process. In 53 of 229 cases with ND findings suggestive of a papillary lesion (NOS) the biopsy revealed a papilloma in 41 cases while in 12 cases no lesion was found. In the remaining cases of all the groups only a clinical follow-up and appropriate investigations were performed with no untoward outcome. Based on our study it is felt that cytological examination of ND smears seems to be a reasonably specific method in the diagnosis of malignant and suspicious cases but may be somewhat less specific for other diagnoses.

    Notes: Background Epidemics of acute asthma associated with thunderstorms occur intermittently worldwide, though airway inflammation during these acute episodes has not been characterized. The aim of this study was to characterize airway inflammation in thunderstorm asthma.Methods Cases were recruited after presentation to the emergency room with acute asthma immediately following a thunderstorm (n = 6). They were compared to two control groups: a group of atopic asthmatics that had presented with acute asthma to the emergency room prior to the thunderstorm (n = 12), and a second group of corticosteroid naïve asthmatics who presented to the emergency room in the prior 12 months (n = 6). Subjects had spirometry, sputum induction and allergy skin tests acutely and at review 4 weeks later.Results Thunderstorm (TS) cases were more likely to have a history of hay fever and grass pollen allergy, and less likely to be on inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) prior to presentation. Cases and control groups had a similar degree of moderate to severe acute airway obstruction (P = 1.0). TS cases had elevated sputum eosinophils (14.8% of total cell count) compared to controls (1%, 2.6%, P 〈 0.01). TS cases had higher sputum eosinophil cationic protein (ECP; 11 686 ng/mL) compared to controls (1883, 3300, P = 0.02) acutely. TS cases had more cells positive for IL-5 (30%) compared to controls (1, 1.5%, P = 0.02). When adjusted for ICS use, TS cases had a risk ratio for elevated sputum eosinophils of 2.4 (1.23–4.69).Conclusion Thunderstorm asthma is characterized by airway inflammation with IL-5-mediated sputum eosinophilia and eosinophil degranulation. These results are consistent with allergen exposure as the cause of the exacerbation, and are consistent with the thunderstorm-induced grass pollen deluge as the cause of epidemic asthma after thunderstorms.

    Notes: Background Sputum induction is a safe and effective technique to study airway inflammation in stable asthma. However, it has the potential to induce bronchospasm and the safety and efficacy of the technique in acute asthma has not been determined.Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a protocol to induce sputum using isotonic saline in adults with acute exacerbations of asthma.Methods Adults (n = 47) presenting to the emergency room with acute asthma and an FEV1 〉 1.0 L underwent supervised sputum induction with 0.9% saline delivered by an ultrasonic nebuliser. Induction was ceased if there was a fall of 20% or greater from baseline FEV1.Results Subjects had moderate to severe exacerbations of acute asthma. An adequate sputum sample was obtained in 87% of subjects. Four subjects ceased induction because of symptom distress. There was a fall ≥ 20% in 28% of subjects. Bronchoconstriction was successfully reversed by salbutamol in all subjects. Predictors of significant bronchoconstriction were older age, use of ingested corticosteroids, and a requirement for high-dose nebulized salbutamol for the exacerbation. Maintenance long-acting β2-agonist therapy protected against bronchoconstriction during sputum induction.Conclusions Sputum induction in acute asthma using isotonic saline is highly efficacious in obtaining an adequate sputum sample. There is the potential for significant bronchoconstriction to occur but this can be managed safely with minimal discomfort to subjects.

    Notes: Aims:  The Goseki grouping of gastric adenocarcinoma has been suggested as a possible prognostic factor. In those centres where it is used, it may be valuable to assess the Goseki grouping of a tumour on the initial diagnostic biopsy as well as on the resection specimen since it may in theory influence management. We examined the robustness of Goseki grouping of gastric adenocarcinoma in representative sections from resection and biopsy specimens in order to assess the consistency of agreement among a group of pathologists.Methods:  A single representative block from 100 gastric resection specimens was studied using a haematoxylin and eosin and mucin (alcian blue/periodic acid–Schiff) stain. These were circulated in batches to members of a group of 12 pathologists who each completed a simple proforma confirming the presence of carcinoma and assigning a Goseki group. In a second circulation the diagnostic biopsy specimen taken prior to resection was examined in the same way. This allowed comparison of the Goseki group of the biopsy and resection specimens.Results:  In both studies κ statistics showed good agreement on tubular differentiation of the carcinoma, but only moderate agreement for the intracellular mucin production, resulting in moderate agreement for the final Goseki group. Correlation between the Goseki group assigned on the biopsy and resected specimens was seen in 62% of the cases. However, the reproducibility was low (κ 0.375).Conclusions:  The Goseki grouping of resected gastric adenocarcinoma is reproducible and can be used in prognostication. Goseki grouping of biopsy specimens is of limited value in predicting the Goseki group assigned to the resected carcinoma.

    Notes: AimsClinical management of premalignant and malignant lesions of the larynx is dependent on histopathological evaluation. The Scottish Pathology Consistency Group assessed interobserver variation in the evaluation of laryngeal dysplasia.Methods and resultsOne hundred laryngeal biopsies ranging from normal to invasive carcinoma were assessed. The overall Kappa result of 0.32 was disappointing. However, agreement on those categories which dictate significantly different management was more favourable. The Kappa figure for mild dysplasia versus severe dysplasia/CIS was 0.7, the Kappa figure for mild dysplasia versus severe dysplasia/CIS and invasive carcinoma was 0.77. The Kappa figure for mild and moderate dysplasia versus severe dysplasia/CIS and invasive carcinoma was 0.57. An attempt to use a two grade system gave a Kappa figure of 0.52.ConclusionsOur group had a satisfactory agreement on the distinction of mild from severe dysplasia and on microinvasive carcinoma without any discussion as to histopathological criteria to be used. Clinical management — review endoscopy, repeat cord stripping, radiotherapy and laryngectomy — is in general dependent on histological assessment. Thus the agreement on categories which underpin clinical management is reassuring. However, assessment of moderate dysplasia remains problematic. An attempt to utilize a two grade system — low grade from high grade dysplasia/CIS — may have merit. The implications of the terminology used must be agreed among pathologists and clinicians working closely within clinicopathological cancer groups.

    Notes: Patterns of variation were determined in anastomosis, pathotype and genotype of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum samples collected from individual plants of common bean cultivars from four locations in the Mexican highlands. In Chihuahua, 22 polymorphic AFLP bands in isolates taken from a single plant identified five distinct genotypes. In Michoacán, nine genotypes were identified based on a total of only six polymorphic bands. Combined cluster analysis of all isolates from individual plants grouped them geographically. In Chihuahua, in isolates from 16 individual plants, only nine genotypes were identified and all samples were found to belong to the same anastomosis group. However, analysis of selected isolates revealed two new pathotypes not reported previously from Chihuahua (races 449 and 467). In contrast, in Michoacán all 13 isolates from individual plants were found to have distinct genotypes, and in Mexico State only two pairs of isolates among 20 samples had identical genotypes. Although no pathotype variation was determined, five anastomosis groups were identified in Michoacán and three in Mexico State. These results suggest that patterns of variation in genotype and anastomosis groups are complex in the different locations sampled, and that no strong relationship exists between genotype, pathotype or anastomosis group.
