I like that fact that they have independent work with very little supervision. There is room for rapid job growth. A reported “14% job growth through 2018” (Tolia). I do not like that cytologist’s have major exposure to specimens and chemical fumes that can be very hazardous. There may be a rapid job growth projected for cytologists but only “thirty-one accredited

Introduction Every cell is selectively permeable to different molecules. This type of selectively is caused by a semi-permeable membrane‚ which allows the movement of certain molecules across it. Water exchange can be measured in two ways: RBC osmotic permeability is measured‚ and diffusional water permeability is measured (Benga and Borza 1995). Diffusion is the movement of high concentration to low concentration. The diffusion of water across a permeable membrane is called osmosis. Water concentration

Electronic healthcare records and the ability to share the same laboratory result among the physicians that are taking care of a patient are two of many examples on how health informatics have contribute to the functionality of the clinical laboratory. Hospitals decide what system works better with their IT platform. After the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is installed‚ the specimens are processed faster. The

The microwave energy offers relatively large specimens to have the ability of good preservation of cellular structure for light and electron microscopy giving it minimal changes to the cellular biochemistry and antigenicity of the specimen (Neuroski‚ 1994). Microwave stabilization‚ fast and ultrafast primary microwave-chemical fixation are common methods used to fix specimens (Neuroski‚ 1994). Irreproducible fixation results may be from the commercial microwave

Specimen: cells in the cervix; the doctor or nurse starts by inserting a speculum into the patient’s vagina‚ spreading it open so that access to the cervix is possible and collects a sample of cells.
