Nasal Cytology

AbstractNasal cytology is a simple, easy, bloodless and quite reliable investigation. Although its utility was recognized as early as 1927 by Eyerman, it has not yet gained much popularity. Here, an attempt is made to assess its efficacy for the diagnosis of various inflammatory, benign and malignant conditions in 151 cases of common rhinological problems in the M. Y. Group of Hospitals, Indore MP India.This method can be used as an adjuvant to clinical diagnosis and histopathological diagnosis as an outpatient department (OPD) procedure with the help of a nasal endoscope, as it was found to be a simple, reliable and time-saving procedure for further management. It can also be used as a screening test for the detection of symptomless patients particularly in precancerous lesions.

Multiple Regression Technique

Short-form versions of the Screening Test of Spanish Grammar (Toronto, 1973) and the Northwestern Syntax Screening Test (Lee, 1971) were devised for use with bilingual Latino children while preserving the original normative data. Application of a multiple regression technique to data collected on 60 lower social status Latino children (four years and six months to seven years and one month) from Spanish Harlem and Yonkers, New York, yielded a small but powerful set of predictor items from the Spanish and English tests. Clinicians may make rapid and accurate predictions of STSG or NSST total screening scores from administration of substantially shortened versions of the instruments. Case studies of Latino children from Chicago and Miami serve to cross-validate the procedure outside the New York metropolitan area.
