  • (7) To be sure, the demonstration of pulmonary aspiration with GRS had little influence on patient selection and response to therapy.
  • (8) 18 aspirates were obtained from patients with B-non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of high malignancy.

  • (13) These findings in a patient with acute leukaemia are strongly suspicious of fungal infection, and percutaneous fine-needle aspiration under ultrasound or computed tomography-guidance is indicated.
  • (14) "The role of leader is one of the greatest honours imaginable – but it is not a bauble to aspire for.
  • (15) It is the combination of his company's pan-African and industrialist vision – reminiscent of the aspirations of African independence pioneers like Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah – and its relentless financial growth that has set Dangote apart.
  • (16) From this study, biopsies appear more helpful to detect malignant cells than aspirates.
  • (17) Recent reports have indicated the usefulness of nuclear grooves (clefts or notches) as an additional criterion for the diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma in fine needle aspirates; most of these studies were carried out on alcohol-fixed material stained with the Papanicolaou stain or with hematoxylin and eosin, which yield good nuclear details.
  • (18) The results of simple aspiration in 30 cases of pneumothorax are presented.
  • (19) A large exudative retinal detachment and hypopyon developed in one eye, and cultures from the anterior chamber aspirate grew CMV.
  • (20) Compared with anteverted (N = 243) or axial (N = 149) locations, the retroverted uterus (N = 66) was associated with a lower mean sample weight per aspiration (22, 18, and 15 mg, respectively; P less than .01) and a greater frequency of multiple-pass procedures (23, 31, and 52%, respectively; P less than .0001).
