Background: Touch/ imprint cytology has been utilized for intraoperative evaluations of tumors to complement frozen sections in order to reach diagnosis prior to histopathology diagnosis. The main aim of this study is to find role of touch imprint in determining histopathology diagnosis of ovarian neoplasm. Materials and Methods: All together one hundred three cases were evaluated using both touch/imprint and histopathology diagnosis. The histopathology diagnoses consisted of Benign (n=85), borderline (n=4), and malignant (n=12). Touch imprint cytology consists of Negative for malignancy (n=90), Positive for malignancy (n=11) and inadequate (n=2). Inadequate smear was excluded from the study. Results: Both touch / imprint cytology were able to diagnose benign and malignant ovarian neoplasm. Out of 103 cases, in cytology showed 89.1% patients were negative and 10.9% patients were positive. Histopathology shows 84.2% of benign ovarian neoplasm, 3.9% borderline neoplasm and 11.9% of malignant. Diagnostic accuracy of touch/ imprint was 99% with sensitivity 100% and specificity was 91.67%. Positive predictive value was 98.89% and negative predictive value was 100%. Conclusion: Touch/ imprint cytology examination is simple, rapid and useful test in evaluation of ovarian neoplasms. It plays very important role in preliminary intraoperative diagnosis of benign and malignant ovarian neoplasms.

Objective We sought to assess the diagnostic yield of advanced noninvasive imaging in the evaluation of patients with pulsatile tinnitus. Background Pulsatile tinnitus can be caused by high-risk cerebrovascular pathologies such as arteriovenous fistulae. The role of advanced noninvasive imaging, including magnetic resonance angiography and magnetic resonance venography, in the diagnostic evaluation of pulsatile tinnitus is not well defined. Design and methods We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients presenting for outpatient diagnostic evaluation of pulsatile tinnitus from January 2018 to March 2020 at Weill Cornell Medicine. Patients with non-pulsatile tinnitus and established etiologic diagnoses were excluded. Systematic chart abstraction was summarized using standard descriptive statistics. Univariate logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with nondiagnostic noninvasive imaging. Results A total of 187 patients (139 (74.3%) women) took part in this study, with a mean age of 48.6 years (standard deviation ( SD) = 15.5 years) and a mean body mass index (BMI) of 26.9 kg/m2 ( SD = 6.1 kg/m2). Of the 187 patients, 121 (64.7%) underwent exclusively noninvasive imaging, and 66 (35.3%) patients also had digital subtraction angiography (DSA). In patients who had exclusively noninvasive imaging, 62 (51.2%) patients received a diagnosis. In patients who underwent noninvasive and DSA imaging, 14 (21.2%) patients received a diagnosis based on DSA. Patients who were older at symptom onset (odds ratio (OR) = 1.05; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01–1.09) and those with a lower BMI (OR = 0.88, 95% CI 0.77–0.98) were more likely to have nondiagnostic noninvasive imaging. Conclusion Noninvasive cerebrovascular imaging often uncovers the etiology of pulsatile tinnitus. DSA remains useful for additional evaluation for patients with specific associated features.
