    Series title Routledge Studies in the History of Iran and Turkey
    Abstract Ibn al-Athir, who died in the 13th century, is one of the most important historians of Islam. His major chronicle, the Kamil fi'l-Ta'rikh, is one of the greatest achievements of Muslim historiography for the range and comprehensiveness of the sources it assembled and for its narrative, covering the whole sweep of Islamic history up to his own lifetime. This volume of D.S. Richards' translation covers the early years of conquest and the period of the 'great sultanate'. With its copious annotations, the translation will open a direct window into this period of history for non-Arabic readers and

    Abstract Numerous non-neoplastic and neoplastic conditions manifest with distinctive features in blood. Although automated complete blood count (CBC) data are essential, CBC information alone is insufficient for diagnosis. Consequently, morphologic review of blood smears is still relevant in the era of sophisticated automated analyzer systems. Pathologist interpretation of the peripheral blood smear, in conjunction with CBC and clinical information, can provide rapid diagnostic information and guide cost-effective targeted laboratory testing. Pathologist review of blood smears can be used to diagnose cases in which the clinical findings are misleading or nonspecific. Here, we discuss a selection of cases in which the pathologist examination of the blood smear can aid in rapid and accurate diagnosis and guide appropriate treatment. Exemplary non-neoplastic disorders with distinctive morphologic blood features of RBC, neutrophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes will be highlighted. The differential diagnostic considerations in blood smears with RBC destruction will be presented, expanding beyond microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. Lymphocyte morphologic assessment guides differential diagnosis including the identification of rare germline disorders. In each case presented, the integration of morphologic features guided additional testing with confirmation of the diagnosis. Peripheral blood smear review is timely and cost effective, even in an era of sophisticated automated laboratory testing.

    Abstract An increased white blood cell count, or leukocytosis, is a common laboratory finding. Appropriate specimen evaluation depends on which lineages are increased and the morphologic findings on peripheral blood smear review to guide further testing. The presence of blasts is concerning for acute leukemia and may require bone marrow biopsy. Lymphocytosis may be morphologically divided into polymorphic and monomorphic populations. Polymorphic lymphocytosis is most consistent with a reactive process, while monomorphic populations are concerning for lymphoproliferative neoplasm. The differential can be further narrowed based on morphologic findings. Myeloid leukocytosis can occur in a number of reactive conditions as well as myeloid malignancies. The types of cells present and morphology can help to guide additional workup. This study provides guidance for the appropriate evaluation and further workup of leukocytosis.

  4. Article ; Online: Estimating the nucleated red blood cell 'emergence time' in neonates.

    Christensen, R D / Lambert, D K / Richards, D S

    Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association

    2013  Volume 34, Issue 2, Page(s) 116–119

    Abstract Objective: The time between onset of fetal hypoxia and first appearance of nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) in the blood can conceptually be divided into two periods; (1) the 'erythropoietin (EPO) generation time', which previous fetal studies suggest is 4 to 5 h, and (2) the 'NRBC emergence time'. In this study, we estimated the latter as the time required for NRBC to appear in the blood after administering a dose of recombinant EPO.
    Study design: This was a retrospective analysis of data from a multihospital healthcare system (Intermountain Healthcare). Data were included only for neonates born ≥34 weeks gestation between the dates 1 January 2005 and 31 October 2012 and only if they received a dose of darbepoetin during their neonatal intensive care unit stay and had one or more complete blood cell counts (CBCs) obtained during the 3-day period before the dose was given and one or more CBCs in the 7-day period after the dose.
    Result: The study involved 31 neonates who received 34 doses of darbepoetin. Seven doses were 4 μg kg(-1) and twenty-seven doses were 10 μg kg(-1). Twenty-six CBCs were obtained during the 24-h period following the darbepoetin dose and none had NRBC identified. NRBC first appeared in the blood between 24 and 36 h after the dose. Recipients of the higher dose generally had a higher peak NRBC count but the NRBC 'emergence time' did not appear to depend on dose.
    Conclusion: Following fetal hypoxia, transcription and translation of the EPO gene result in an elevation in plasma EPO concentration. Previous fetal studies suggest this process requires 4 to 5 h. The present studies suggest that, following the increase in plasma EPO, NRBC emerge into the circulation in ≥24 h. If this model serves as a reasonable estimate, it suggests that neonates with an elevated NRBC count at birth had the onset of hypoxia at least 28 to 29 h before birth.

    Abstract Objective: To assess women's experiences and attitudes regarding endovaginal ultrasound.
    Methods: Women attending the obstetrics and gynecology clinics at the University of Florida were asked to complete an anonymous questionnaire.
    Results: Of respondents who had had a prior endovaginal ultrasound examination, 26% reported that 'it hurt a lot' and 50% reported that 'it hurt a little'. In contrast, only 23% of patients had experienced any pain with a prior abdominal ultrasound (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that discomfort with a prior vaginal ultrasound was related to patient age category, with less discomfort being experienced with increasing ages (P = 0.001). A history of unwanted sex, sexual or physical abuse, or dyspareunia was not associated with more painful examinations. Most patients were willing to undergo a future vaginal ultrasound investigation if it were recommended by their doctor. Multivariate analysis showed that more willingness was associated with older age category (P = 0.004), a history of dyspareunia (P = 0.03) and bleeding in a current pregnancy (P = 0.005). Of the patients (less than half) who had a preference, most preferred a female sonographer for endovaginal sonography (P < 0.001) and most preferred that a doctor, rather than a nurse or technician, perform the examination (P < 0.001).
    Conclusions: The majority of women who had experienced a vaginal ultrasound examination found it somewhat uncomfortable, but almost all women who returned the questionnaire expressed a willingness to undergo endovaginal ultrasound if it were recommended.
