[A pathologist's radiological culture]
Abstract:
The authors analyze 8 papers on human radiation pathology, published in the journal "Arkhiv Patologii", which assess the quality of radiological information given in them. It turns out that pathologists have accumulated important facts on some types of pathology (thyroid cancer, diseases of different organs), but their dependence on the action of radiation requires more valid evidence. The absence of radiation doses in most papers reduces the validity of the conclusions of the articles. All possible internal and external causes of the found changes, and not just ionizing radiations should be considered while interpreting results.

Sputum Studies II: Culture and Sensitivity
Sputum culture and sensitivity is a medical procedure used to diagnose bacterial infections in the respiratory tract and select the most appropriate antibiotics for treatment. This process involves analyzing sputum samples of thick and opaque secretions produced in the lungs and airways. These samples are collected from patients and then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The test can identify various pathogens responsible for respiratory infections, including Streptococcus,...
