The discipline was founded by Rudolf Virchow in 1858 . A common application of cytopathology is the Pap smear , used as a Screening medicine screening tool, to detect cervical intraepithelial neoplasia precancerous cervical lesions and prevent cervical cancer . Cytopathology is also commonly used to investigate thyroid lesions, diseases involving sterile body cavities peritoneal, pleural, and cerebrospinal , and a wide range of other body sites. It is usually used to aid in the diagnosis of cancer, but also helps in the diagnosis of certain infectious diseases and other inflammatory conditions. Cytopathology is generally used on samples of free cells or tissue fragments, in contrast to histopathology , which studies whole tissues. Cytopathologic tests are sometimes called smear tests because the samples may be smeared across a glass microscope slide for subsequent staining and microscopic examination.

In physiology , the term serous fluid is used for various bodily fluid s that are typically pale yellow and transparent, and of a benign nature, that fill the inside of body cavity body cavities . Serous fluid originates from serous gland s, with secretions enriched with protein s and water. Serous fluid may also originate from mixed glands, which contain both mucous and serous cells. A common trait of serous fluids is their role in assisting digestion , excretion , and Respiratory system respiration . In medical fields, especially cytopathology , serous fluid is a synonym for effusion fluid s from various body cavities . There are many causes of effusions which include involvement of the cavity by cancer . Cytopathology evaluation is recommended to evaluate the causes of effusions in these cavities. ref name Shidham Examples Saliva consists of mucus and serous fluid the serous fluid contains the enzyme amylase important for the digestion of carbohydrate s. Minor Von Ebner s glands salivary glands of von Ebner present on the tongue secretion secrete the amylase. The parotid gland produces purely serous saliva. The other major salivary gland s produce mixed serous and mucus saliva. Another type of serous fluid is secreted by the serous membrane s or serosa , two layered membranes which line the body cavities . The serous fluid between the two layers acts as a lubricant and reduces friction from muscle movement. This can be seen in the lungs . Cytopathologic evaluation is recommended to evaluate the causes of fluid accumulation which include involvement of the cavity by cancer. ref name Shidham cite book last1 Shidham first1 Vinod B. last2 Atkinson first2 Barbara F. title Cytopathologic diagnosis of serous fluids edition 1 publisher Saunders Elsevier year 2007 location Philadelphia, Pennsylvania isbn 978 1416001454 ref Blood serum is the liquid part of blood remaining after coagulation clotting , and is therefore lacking in clotting factors and distinct from blood pla ... more details

Orphan date February 2009 refimprove date November 2006 Diff Quik is a commercial Romanowsky stain variant, commonly used in histological staining to rapidly stain and differentiate a variety of smears, commonly blood and non gynecological smears, including those of fine needle aspirates. It is based on a modification of the Wright s stain Wright Giemsa stain pioneered by Bernard Witlin in 1970. It has advantages over the older Wright Giemsa staining technique, as it reduces the 4 minute process into a simplified 15 second operation, and allows for selective increased eosinophilic or basophilic staining depending upon the time the smear is left in the staining solutions. Diff Quik is utilized on material which is air dried prior to alcohol fixation rather than immersed immediately ie. wet fixed . The primary use of Romanovsky type stains is for cytoplasmic detail, such as intracytoplasmic mucins, fat droplets and neurosecretory granules. Extracellular substances, such as free mucin, colloid, ground substance, etc, are also easily stained, and appear metachromatic. Microbiologic agents, such as bacteria and fungi, also appear easier in Diff Quik. ref Demay The Art and Science of Cytopathology ref Components The Diff Quik stain consists of 3 solutions Diff Quik fixative reagent Triphenylmethane Triarylmethane dye Methanol Diff Quik solution I eosinophilic Xanthene dye pH buffer Sodium azide Diff Quik solution II basophilic Thiazine dye pH buffer References references Results class wikitable Structure Colour Erythrocyte s Pink yellowish red Platelet s Violet purple granules Neutrophil s Blue nucleus, pink cytoplasm, violet granules Eosinophil s Blue nucleus, blue cytoplasm, red granules Basophil s Purple dark blue nucleus, violet granules Monocyte Violet nucleus, light blue cytoplasm Bacteria Blue Alternatives Papanicolaou stain Wright s stain Wright Giemsa stain Romanowsky staining Category Staining ... more details

In some laboratories, a computer performs an initial evaluation, indicating slides that are sufficiently normal that no human reading is needed, or pointing out areas that may be of particular interest for later examination. In many laboratories, cytotechnologists perform the initial evaluation. The cytotechnologist performs the secondary evaluation and determines whether a specimen is normal or abnormal. Abnormal specimens are referred to a pathologist for final interpretation. Different countries have different certification requirements and standards for cytotechnologists. In the United States there are currently two routes for certification, after earning a baccalaureate degree, individuals attend an accredited program in cytotechnology for 1 year, or you can attend a cytotechnology program that awards a baccalaureate degree in cytotechnology. After successful completion of either route then you are eligible to take a certification exam offered by the American Society for Clinical Pathology . ref http www.ascp.org certification CertifyingExaminations American Society for Clinical Pathology, certification ref The American Society for Cytotechnology sets U.S. professional standards, monitors legislative and regulatory issues, and provides education.
