This document discusses bone biopsy and decalcification. Bone biopsy is described as a procedure to remove bone samples for examination under a microscope to diagnose bone disorders like cancer or infection. It can be done through closed or open methods. Bone decalcification is defined as removing calcium from bone to make it flexible for pathological examination. Methods of decalcification discussed include acids, chelating agents like EDTA, and tests for completion like x-ray or ammonia testing.

Decalcification: Unveiling Structures Beneath the Mineral Veil
What is it? Decalcification removes calcium salts from tissues like bone and teeth, making them soft and sliceable for microscopic analysis.
Why do it? Hardened tissues can't be sectioned effectively and interfere with staining. Decalcification allows clear visualization of cellular and structural details.
How is it done? Different methods exist, like using weak acids or chelating agents, each with its pros and cons. The choice depends on tissue type, processing time, and desired preservation level.
Knowing when to stop: Monitoring techniques like X-rays or physical assessment help determine the optimal endpoint to avoid over-decalcification and tissue damage.
Beyond bone: Decalcification finds applications in diverse fields like paleontology, pathology, and cancer research.
Appropriate selection of the implant biomaterial is a key factor for long term success of implants. The biologic environment does not accept completely any material so to optimize biologic performance, implants should be selected to reduce the negative biologic response while maintaining adequate function.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
4. Calcium ions found in the bones are responsible for its
rigid posture and without it, bones may be flexible and
most of time unable to carry their body weight.
Diseases such as osteomalacia and rickets are as a
result of lack of calcium in the bones of those areas.
De-calcification of bones as our topic is about the
removal of these calcium from the bones. As such, we
are going to look at the following about the topic:
•The definition of decalcification of bones
•The purpose of decalcification of bones
•The principle of bone decalcification
•The method of decalcification of bones
How to test for the completion of decalcification
5. INTRODUCTION
BIOPSY
A biopsy is a procedure performed to remove tissue or
cells from the body for examination under a
microscope.
BONE BIOPSY
A bone biopsy is a procedure in which a small sample of
bone is taken from the body and looked at under a
microscope for cancer, infection, or other bone
disorders.
6. TYPES OF BIOPSY
Bone biopsy can be done by following
two methods
• Closed or needle biopsy
• Open biopsy
7. Closed or needle biopsy
• A drill biopsy is generally used to obtain a small specimen
• clean the skin over the bone where the biopsy sample will be taken
and local anesthesia in skin is given.
• The radiologist or surgeon puts a long, thin needle through the
skin into the bone
• Doctor may make a small cut in your skin before putting the needle
in so the needle passes easily
• Take out a small amount of bone through the needle.
• After a closed or needle biopsy, a small bandage is placed over
the area and pressure is put on the area to stop any bleeding
8. Open biopsy
• An open biopsy takes 30 to 60 minutes
• Before an open biopsy, general anesthesia is given to
the patients
• Before making a skin cut the area need to be shaved
and clean
• The surgeon makes a cut to see the bone and take out a
small piece.
• After an open biopsy, the cut is cleaned and closed
with stitches (sutures). A bandage is put on the area.
The stitches are taken out about 14 days after the
biopsy.
9. Purpose of bone biopsy
• Confirm the diagnosis of a bone disorder
• determine if a bone tumor is malignant (cancerous)
or benign
• evaluate bone pain or tenderness .
• determine the cause of an unexplained infection or
inflammation
• Find the cause of ongoing bone pain.
• Check bone problems seen on an X-ray.
10. Risks after bone biopsy
• bruising and discomfort at the biopsy site
• bone fracture
• prolonged bleeding from the biopsy site
• infection near the biopsy site or in the
bone
11. Bone biopsy results
Normal The biopsy sample shows normal bone tissue.
Abnormal
Bone tissue may show signs of infection, cancer, or
another bone disorder (including Paget's disease,
osteomyelitis, a bone cyst, or a benign bone
growth called an osteoma). The bone tissue may
also show osteoporosis or osteomalacia, which
means the bones are weak.
Most cancer of the bone spreads to the bone from
another part of the body, such as the breast,
lungs, prostate, or other organs. But bone cancer
can also start in the bone itself (such as
osteosarcoma or multiple myeloma
13. INTRODUCTION
Decalcification
Loss of calcium salts from a bone or tooth.
OR
The process of removing calcareous matter.
Bone decalcification
Removal of calcium ions from the bone through
histological process thereby making the bone
flexible and easy for pathological investigation.
14. PURPOSE OF BONE DECALCIFICATION
The purpose is to make the bone flexible
and easy for pathological investigation.
This is necessary in order to obtain soft
sections of the bone using the microtome
Failure to decalcification results in torn,
ragged sections and damage to the
cutting edge of the microtome knife
15. PRINCIPLE OF DECALCIFICATION
Insoluble calcium salt are converted into
soluble calcium salts by the action of
decalcifying agent so that the tissue
become soft.
Chelating agent binds to calcium ions
present in the bone and decalcification is
carried out.
16. Methods of decalcification
• Acid decalcifying agents.
• Ion exchange resins with acid and
decalcifying fluids.
• Electrolytic decalcification.
• Chelating agents.
17. Acid decalcifying agent
• The commonest method of
decalcification is dissolving calcium
salts in an acid solution.
• Some of the acid decalcifying agents
are..
Nitric acid.
Formic acid.
Trichloroacetic acid
18. Nitric acid
MEHTOD
Thin slices of fixed tissue are placed in a
freshly prepared 5-10% solution of nitric
acid in distilled water.
Decalcification through this should not
extends beyond 48 hours.
Formalin is added to nitric acid to protect
the tissue against maceration and
swelling.
19. Formic acid
• Formic acid is widely used as a decalcifying
agent.
• For routine 10% of formic acid in distilled
water is recommended and higher
concentration gives more rapid
decalcification.
• A large volume of fluid is used and renewed
every 48 hours.
20. Ion exchange resins with acid
decalcifying fluids
The removal of calcium ions from the
decalcifying fluid by the resins leads to
quicker and more efficient decalcification.
Electrolytic Decalcification
It is the speedier decalcification without damage
to cytological features and staining.
Drawback:
Heat produced in the process may cause the
charring of specimen in the process
21. Chelating Agents
• EDTA is a chelating agent, it is a white
crystalline powder soluble in distilled
water to about 20%.
• As a decalcifying agent it combines with
calcium ions to form soluble, non ionized
compounds.
• The volume of solution for decalcifying
should be 150 times that of the tissue.
• The solution should be renewed every
5 to 7 days during decalcification.
22. Advantages of EDTA
• Deposits of iron and other metals may also be
removed by EDTA.
• Tissue is not hardened after decalcification.
• It can be good for Bone ,Teeth and any calcified
tissue.
• This is also the preferred solution for
decalcifying bone material for transmission
electron microscopy .
23. Test for completion of Decalcification
There are two method for determining the
completion of progress of decalcification.
By X-ray examination.
By Ammonia method.
24. X-ray Examination
• The most reliable method for
determining decalcification.
• But as this facility is not presented in all
the laboratories
25. Ammonia Method
• In this method ammonia is added drop by
drop in the decalcifying solution
cloudiness indicate the presence of
calcium.
• The specimen is then placed in a fresh
solution of decalcifying fluid and test is
repeated after a suitable interval of time.
27. BONE BIOPSY
It is a procedure in which bone samples are removed (with a
special biopsy needle or during surgery) to determine if cancer
or other abnormal cells are present.
Done by two methods
• closed method
• Open method
BONE DECALCIFICATION
Removal of calcium ions from the bone through histological
process thereby making the bone flexible and easy for
pathological investigation.
