Tuberculosis of the breast. A cytomorphologic study of needle aspirates and nipple discharges.

A cytomorphologic diagnosis of tuberculosis of the breast by examination of needle aspirate and nipple discharge smears was made in 14 of 410 cases of mammary lumps and nipple discharges studied over a period of two years. The importance of aspiration cytology of breast lumps, which clinically may be diagnosed as benign or malignant lesions, is high-lighted. Although acid-fast bacilli were demonstrated in only one case, the clinical response to antituberculosis therapy was indirect but fairly convincing evidence supporting the cytologic diagnosis of tuberculosis of the breast in all 14 patients.

Use of traditional medical practitioners to delivery family planning services in Uttar Pradesh.

This pilot study conducted in Muzaffarnagar district in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India, demonstrates the potential for using traditional medical practitioners in the delivery of family planning services after a brief training period. Practitioners participated continuously in the program for an intervention period of two years during which their services were accepted by the community. The impact of their involvement was reflected in increased knowledge of permanent as well as reversible contraceptive methods and in higher contraceptive use rates, especially of reversible methods adopted by women younger than 25 years (from 8 percent to 37 percent), in the intervention villages, as compared with increased knowledge and use (from 13 percent to 25 percent) of permanent methods alone in the control villages.
