There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden.
All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet.
1. Examining shed cells:
- Our bodies naturally shed cells in fluids like urine, lung fluid, or cerebrospinal fluid.
- Cytopathologists study these cells under a microscope to see if they are healthy or abnormal.
- If abnormal cells are found, it might indicate the presence of a serious condition like cancer.
2. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA):
- This is a minimally invasive procedure where a thin needle is used to collect a small sample of cells from a lump or suspicious area.
- The collected cells are then examined under a microscope for abnormalities.
3. Exfoliative cytology:
- This involves studying cells that naturally shed from the surface of tissues, such as:
- Cervical cancer screening: This is commonly known as a Pap smear.
- Vaginal smears: Used to check for infections or abnormal cell changes.
- Oral cytology: Helps detect precancerous and cancerous changes in the mouth.
4. Fluid cytology:
- This involves examining cells present in various body fluids, like pleural fluid (around the lungs) or peritoneal fluid (around the abdomen).
- This helps us check for the presence of malignant (cancerous) cells.
