Q

Sensitivity of PCR for Lymphoma is 91%, what does

this mean ??

A

tests rules OUT a disease (“ SNOUT”)

= 91% of (+) animals will come up (+)

BUT the other 9% thats listed as neg might be false neg

* looking at how much of the % could be a false (-)

What about this tube
Green- Heparin - heparin is an anticoagulant, inhibits thrombin - contains fibrinogen = IF LOOKING AT FIBRINOGEN DO NOT USE \* USED FOR: - Chem panel - avain/reptile CBC & chem panel - COPS - measure electrolytes
26
What is this tube used for ?
Blue- Citrate -Anticoagulant, Ca+ chelator USED FOR: - Coagulation tests ( PT, aPTT, FDP) - PIVKA ( potassium test) - Antithrombin - coag factors - Von. Will. Factor
27
What about this tube ?
Gray- Sodium Fluoride Oxalate - Anticoagulant, Ca+ chelator - inhibits glucose metabolis= fluoride inhibits glycolysis USED FOR: -plasma for serial glucose, lactate & pyruvate
28
Tell me whats up with all the plasma appearance here
N: normal H: (red) Severely hemolyzed h: (pink) mildly hemolyzed Y: (yellow) icteris in dog & cat// normal in horse and cow W: (white) lipemic
29
What is this ?
Granulocytic Leukemia ( Neutrophilic)
30
What is this? what are the red arrows pointing to ?
Granulocytic Leukemia - red arrows: nucleoli
31
What do you think about this ??
Megakaryoblastic Leukemia
32
What is this showing ?
Increased Basophilia and Dohle Bodies = toxic neutrophils
33
What is this? Whats the arrow pointing to ?
INcreased basophilia dohle bodies =toxic neutrophils
34
What is this ? Whats meaning ?
Neutrophil Hypersegmentation - relatively unimportant finding
35
Whats going on here ??
Neutrophil Degeneration -neutrophils not in circulation ( usually doing their job)
36
If an animal comes with progessive neuro signs and see lymphocytes like this what would you think ??
= Lysosomal storage disorder
37
Whats this cell and whats it making ?
Megakaryocyte making platlets
38
What are these ??
Plasma cells
39
What is this ??
Mott cells
40
What about this
Mast cells
41
What is this
Histoplasma capsulatum
42
What is this ?
Coccidioides immitis
43
What is this and what does it mean ?
Mesothelial cells - all body cavities are lined by 1 layer of methelium cells - the cells undergo rapid dividing=meet many of the criteria of malignancy =hard to ID mesothelial cell vs neoplastic epi cells - sometimes layer become thickened and cells shed off
44
what cells are these?
" Bearded" Mesothelial cells that have just divided - only 10% of them will look like this, but when they do its helpful for diagnosis
45
What about these? What stain ?
Mesothelial cells -new methylene blue
46
Took an aspirate from body cavity - what are you thinking ?
sheet of Mesothelial cells -normal thing to be seen when going through a mesothelial surface
47
What about this ?? ( red arrow)
This is a reactive mesothelial cells = impossible to tell from a neoplastic cell \*\*
48
Whats going on with these cells ?? Makes you think what ?
These are degenerated neutrophils with bact in them -thinking they are cleaning up some type of suppurative inflammation
49
What is this ?
Bile pigment
50
Whats this ??
Carcinoma cells ( bi-nucleate)
51
What ya think about this?
Carcinoma cells
52
What is this showing
Nuclear streaming ( broken cell)
53
What is this/ where does it come from ??
Contamination from our gloves \*\*
54
What is this?? What does it mean ??

69
What be this in the urine? what does it MEAANNNNN
Struvite crystals " Triple phosphate " " Magnesium ammonium phosphate" - can be found in clinical normal animals - likes to form in alkaline pH
70
This is in the urine- what be this gypsy ?
