    Abstract Foundation programs are conducted in medical schools for undergraduate students, since they are naïve and unaware of the medical profession in depth. The program helps them to become familiar with the undergraduate medical training. The present intake of first year medical undergraduates had joined the institute amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and hence the foundation program had to be conducted through an online platform. The present paper is a description of the online program conducted in the institute and is aimed to focus on the pros and cons of using an online platform for conducting the program and the experience gained from it.

    Abstract Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) accounts for 30% to 40% of the newly diagnosed adult non-Hodgkin lymphomas, but rarely presents in leukaemic phase. Here in, we report a case of DLBCL presenting in leukaemic phase and masquerading as acute leukaemia. A 28-year-old woman presented to our outpatient department with complaints of fever for 1 week. Her peripheral blood smear showed 5% to 8% blasts. Bone marrow aspirate showed an infiltration by ~30% blasts. Flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry confirmed relapse of DLBCL. Also, patient's poor response to therapeutic regimen for DLBCL prompted to consider second differential diagnosis of acute leukaemia. This case is a learning case, as it emphasizes the combined role of diagnostic ancillary techniques along with clinical judgments for management. The case also makes us more vigilant towards the pathobiology of DLBCL and dynamics of personalized individual treatment response.

    Abstract Objectives: The treatment of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALL) has seen remarkable advances recently. However, relapse occurs in approximately 20% of cases which necessitates identifying additional high risk parameters for treatment intensification. The aim of this study is to assess the prognostic significance of CD45 antigen expression in pediatric ALL.
    Methods: We studied 363 pediatric patients with B cell precursor-ALL (BCP-ALL) (n = 313) and T-ALL (n = 50). The ratio of median fluorescence intensity of CD45 expressed in leukemic blasts and normal lymphocytes was calculated. The 75th percentile was taken as cut-off to categorise patients into CD45 high and CD45 low groups.
    Results: The 75th percentile was 0.141 in BCP-ALL and 0.548 in T-ALL. In BCP-ALL, there was a statistically significant association of age (≥10 years) (p = 0.027) and National Cancer Institute high risk group (p = 0.001) with high CD45 expression but not in T-ALL. Worse event-free survival (EFS) was seen with high CD45 expression in BCP-ALL (42.17% versus 60.83%, p = 0.0053). In T-ALL, there was no association between CD45 expression and EFS (CD45 high 40.40% versus low 67.35%, p = 0.414). The overall survival (OS) was 70% versus 60% (p = 0.38) in BCP-ALL and the OS was 82% versus 68% (p = 0.16) in T-ALL for CD45 low versus CD45 high groups, respectively.
    Conclusion: We conclude that high CD45 surface expression is associated with worse EFS in pediatric BCP-ALL.

    Abstract Introduction: Proper orientation of endoscopic mucosal biopsies is crucial for accurate histomorphologic assessment. Aim: To compare the morphology on two different templates, filter paper and gelfoam for orientation of biopsies. Materials and Methods: In this study a total of 21 duodenal biopsies were studied which were taken from the same site, fixed and oriented on wet filter paper and gelfoam in formalin, from patients who presented with malabsorptive symptoms. Histomorphological parameters studied were villous architecture, crypt architecture, intraepithelial lymphocyte (IEL) count per 100 enterocytes, villous tip IEL count per 20 enterocytes, inflammatory cells in lamina propria. Statistical analysis was done using IBM- SPSS software version 21. p-value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: Twenty-one biopsies were taken in both the templates. Authors had 18 biopsies for analysis as three sections on gelfoam were lost during processing. All the histomorphological parameters were studied and it was similar on both the templates. The level of agreement by kappa statistics was significant with kappa value of 0.727 for villous architecture, 0.852 for lamina propria inflammatory infiltrate, 1 for IEL and eosinophils in lamina propria with p-value of <0.001. Conclusion: Authors concluded, gelfoam or filter paper serves as a good template for proper orientation of tiny mucosal biopsies. However, further studies are needed on larger sample size to validate this finding.

    Abstract Introduction: Duodenal endoscopic biopsy is a common investigation for various non-neoplastic conditions. Malabsorption is a common indication for duodenal biopsy in our setting. Aim: Our study was undertaken to study the morphologic spectrum of non-neoplastic conditions of duodenum emphasizing on Intraepithelial Lymphocytes (IELs) and to have a clinico-pathologic correlation. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective descriptive study. Duodenal biopsies from 101 patients with symptoms of malabsorption were studied according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Informed written consent was taken. Clinical, laboratory, endoscopic, and serological parameters were collected wherever available. Histomorphological parameters were studied on Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained sections. Intraepithelial lymphocyte counts were done on CD3, CD4 and CD8 Immunohistochemical (IHC) stained sections and correlated. Results: We studied 101 duodenal biopsies. Our spectrum included 16 patients of celiac disease (CD) (15.8%), 15 autoimmune duodenitis (14%), 13 nutritional deficiency associated duodenitis (12.8%), five infectious duodenitis (5%) and 41 patients of non-specific duodenitis (40.6%) and 10.9% miscellaneous causes of duodenitis. Villous crypt architecture, IEL counts; villous tip IEL counts were statistically significant between CD and other disease groups. Conclusion: A constellation of clinical, serological, endoscopic and histopathologic features is essential in diagnosing CD and autoimmune duodenitis. Biopsy is also a useful tool in diagnosing infectious duodenitis that are missed in other investigations.
