    Clinically Pertinent Cytological Diff-Quick and Gram Stain

    Clinically Pertinent Cytological Diff-Quick and Gram Stain Evaluation for the Reptilian Practitioner Kendal E Harr, DVM, MS, Dipl ACVP (Clinical Pathology), April Romagnano, PhD, DVM, DABVP (Avian) Session #214 Affiliation: URIKA, LLC, Mukilteo, WA 98275, USA (Harr), Avian and Exotic Clinic of Palm City, Palm City, Florida and the Animal Health Clinic, Jupiter, FL 33458, USA (Romagnano). Abstract: The goals of this work were to: 1) improve knowledge of preanalytic sampling techniques including blood smears, fine needle aspirates, imprints, smears, and fluid preparation including oral, dermal and cloacal swabs, cystic and solid mass sampling, joint fluids and effusions, and fecal smears and floats; and 2) enable the reptilian practitioner to better identify basic cells, classify disease processes, as well as infectious agents such as bacteria, fungi, and other structures. Discussion of diagnoses and treatment will follow. Generalized disease processes cross species and classes. The most important rule for cytologic interpretation is to not overinterpret the cytologic findings. Cytology helps guide therapeutic decision making by classification of disease process as neoplasia, fungal infection, etc but may not provide a definitive diagnosis. One should only interpret to the correct level of diagnosis and know when to refer the cytology and biopsy the lesion. Preanalytical Blood collection Collect less than < 1% of a reptile’s body weight. Use heparinized, size appropriate pediatric microtainers or Capijects®. Use the jugular vein in species where possible as the large bore vein decreases the likelihood of lymph dilution common in samples from the caudal vein. The right jugular may be larger in some species of lizard and tortoise but the size difference is not as dramatic as in avian species.

  • Appendix A: Standardization of Staining Methods

    Appendix A: Standardization of Staining Methods

    Appendix A: Standardization of Staining Methods H. Lyon, D. Wittekind, E. Schulte No detailed descriptions of staining methods are provided in this book. The reader is referred to one or more of the excellent texts covering this field (cf. Preface). Nevertheless, we have feIt it appropriate to inc1ude this appendix which gives some of our views on the technical aspects of procedures which should be given particular emphasis. It is our opinion that the need for standardization and quan­ titative methods in daily work is pressing. This appendix sets out the appropriate general considerations followed by a few selected methods in order to cover this area. A.l General Considerations According to Boon and Wittekind (1986) the principle aim of standardizing staining methods is to render their application reproducible and therefore reliable. This is of the utmost importance when dyes and stains are used for automated cell pattern recognition (Wittekind, 1985; Wittekind and Schulte, 1987). The theoretical background for standardization of cell and tissue preparation sterns from the fact that any preparatory step - from cell sampling to mounting of the stained slide - will somehow affect the structure of the cell and ultimately lead to the production of a particular staining pattern which, in strict tenns, is an artifact. What we eventually observe by microscopy is, from the perspective of a cell, the product of a rather violent procedure: In cytological preparations the cells have been isolated from their tissue, spread out on the surface of a glass slide and immersed in a liquid poison which abruptly arrests and - sensu stricto - "fixes" the cell in the very last moment of its life.

  • Blood Film Preparation and Staining Procedures

    Blood Film Preparation and Staining Procedures

    INTERPRETATION OF THE PERIPHERAL 00. ם BLOOD FILM 0272–2712/02 $15.00 BLOOD FILM PREPARATION AND STAINING PROCEDURES Berend Houwen, MD, PhD The blood film is one of the world’s most widely and frequently used tests and has undergone remarkably few changes since its introduction as a clinical diagnostic tool in the late 1800s. The origins of stained blood film microscopy are somewhat obscure, and a clear reference for the ‘‘first person or persons’’ to describe its use as a clinical laboratory procedure cannot be established with certainty. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, in the seventeenth century, was the first to describe blood cells, using whole blood preparations and not blood films for his observations on blood corpuscles. In fact, he would not have been able to use blood film–based microscopy because it requires considerably more sophisti- cated optics than were available in his day. A second technologic innovation enabling blood film microscopy was the introduction of aniline dyes in the second half of the nineteenth century. This made it possible to study individual blood cells by light microscopy after a small amount of blood had been placed and smeared onto glass slides, dried, fixed, and then stained. Paul Ehrlich introduced eosin as the first of these dyes for staining blood films in 1856, followed by hematoxylin in 1865, and later by the metachromatic Romanowsky dyes. A few refinements have since been made, consisting mainly of improve- ments in dye quality, staining procedures, automation of slide preparation, and staining, but the basic elements of blood film preparation and analysis have not changed for over a century.

K ABSTRACT FNAC of thyroid lesions have sensitivity as high as 93.4% with a positive predictive value of malignancy 98.6 % and 74.9 %specicity. Two fundamentally different methods of xation and staining are used in FNAC: air-drying followed by a Romanowsky stain such as May Grunwalds Gimsa (MGG), Jenner-Giemsa, Wright's stain or Diff-Quik; and alcohol-xation followed by Papanicolaou (Pap) or hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. Combining the morphological features of various stains often improve the diagnostic accuracy.In the present study, cytoplasmic granularity, paravacuolar granules and thin colloid are very well demonstrated using Wright Giemsa stain. Cell borders and crisp nuclear features such as chromatin pattern, intranuclear inclusions are best appreciated using wet xed smears stained with H&E and Pap stains. The cytomorphologic features of nodular thyroid lesions using multiple cytological staining techniques to enhance diagnostic sensitivity is evaluated in this study.

  • Difference Between Giemsa Stain and Wright Stain

    Difference Between Giemsa Stain and Wright Stain

    Difference Between Giemsa Stain and Wright Stain www.differencebetween.com Key Difference – Giemsa Stain vs Wright Stain In the context of microscopy, staining is considered as an essential step during enhancement of the contrast of the microscopic image, especially to highlight different structures in biological tissues. During the staining of peripheral blood and bone marrow smears, Wright and Giemsa stains are used. These stains are known as Romanowsky stains. Both these stains are composed of important components: oxidized methylene blue, eosin Y, and azure B dyes. The function of methylene blue and azure B is to stain the nucleus with colors varying from blue to purple. These stains are widely used during the study of red blood cell morphology and during the performance of differential white blood cell counts. Diagnosis of different disease conditions such as leukemia could be achieved through Romanowsky staining procedures. Wright staining is used to differentiate blood cells which consist of a mixture of eosin and methylene blue dyes. Giemsa staining is utilized during the staining of bacterial cells as well as human cells and could be combined with Wright stain to develop Giemsa Wright stain. This is the key difference between Giemsa stain and Wright stain. What is Giemsa Stain? Giemsa stain is used for cytogenetics and histopathological diagnosis of parasites of malaria and other parasitic diseases. Giemsa stain can also be considered as a basic stain in classifying lymphomas in the classification of Kiel. Giemsa stain is needed for Giemsa banding which is commonly known as G-banding. Giemsa banding is used to stain chromosomes and also used in creating karyograms.

    PRODUCT SPECIFICATION SHEET GIEMSA STAIN(SI015) Use Giemsa stain is a mixture of methylene blue, eosin, and azure B. It is specific for the phosphate groups of DNA and attaches itself to where there are high amounts of adenine-thymine bonding. Giemsa stain is a modified Romanowsky stain, very similar to Wright’s stain and gives the same colour reaction with the cellular components of the blood. Giemsa stain is mainly used for staining of peripheral blood smears and specimens obtained from the bone marrow. It is used to obtain differential white blood cell counts. Giemsa stain is also used in cytogenetics to stain the chromosomes and identify chromosomal aberrations. It is commonly used for G-Banding (Geimsa-Banding). Principle The polychromic staining solutions (Giemsa, Wrights) contain methylene blue and eosin. These basic and acidic dyes induce multiple colours when applied to cells. Methanol acts as fixative and also as a solvent. The fixative does not allow any further change in the cells and makes them adhere to the glass slide. The basic component of white cells (i.e. cytoplasm) is stained by acidic dye and they are described as eosinophilic or acidophilc. The acidic components (e.g. nucleus with nucleic acid) take blue to purple shades by the basic dye and they are called basophilic. The neutral components of the cell are stained by both the dyes.
