Follicular lymphoma is a type of slow-growing blood cancer affecting B-cells. Learn about its symptoms, causes, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.
White Blood Cells
CAR T-Cell Treatment
CAR T-cell therapy is a revolutionary cancer treatment using engineered T-cells to target and destroy cancer cells.
Macrophage
Macrophages are essential immune cells that engulf and digest foreign particles, playing a crucial role in inflammation and tissue repair. They are found throughout the body and are involved in various diseases, including infections and cancer.
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)
EoE: Chronic esophageal inflammation. Dysphagia, food impaction. Diagnosis: endoscopy, biopsies. Treatment: diet, meds, dilation.
AL Amyloidosis (Primary Amyloidosis)
AL amyloidosis occurs when misfolded light-chain proteins deposit in organs. Prompt treatment improves outcomes.
Infectious Mononucleosis (Mono)
Infectious mononucleosis (Mono), the “kissing disease,” is a common viral illness (EBV). Symptoms include sore throat, fever, fatigue, and swollen glands. Usually resolves on its own.
Periodic Acid Schiff Stain (PAS Staining)
PAS stain is a histochemical technique that utilizes periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) reagent to detect and visualize carbohydrate-rich structures in cells and tissues, such as glycogen, glycoproteins, and mucins.
Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a blood cancer that affects plasma cells. Plasma cells produce antibodies that help fight infection. In MM, plasma cells become abnormal and grow uncontrollably. This can lead to bone pain, anemia, and other complications.
Myeloperoxidase Reaction (MPO) Stain
A stain mainly used to differentiate AML from ALL and gives a bluish to brownish tinge in cells with lysosomal enzyme.
May-Grünwald Giemsa (MGG) Stain
May-Grünwald Giemsa (MGG) stain is an intense Romanovsky stain to help with the visualisation of bone marrow smears.
Hodgkin Lymphoma & Reed-Sternberg
Hodgkin lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system, and is characterized by the presence of large, abnormal lymphocytes called Reed-Sternberg cells.
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML)
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a cancer of the blood cells that begins in the bone marrow. It is caused by a genetic abnormality that results in the production of too many white blood cells.
