Abnormal bone marrow aspiration resuts may be due to
- A.
Primary thrombocytopenia
- B.
Folate deficiency anaemia
- C.
Lousy technique
- D.
Pernicious anaemia
Correct Answer(s)
A. Primary thrombocytopenia
B. Folate deficiency anaemia
C. Lousy technique
D. Pernicious anaemiaExplanation
Abnormal bone marrow aspiration results can be caused by various factors. Primary thrombocytopenia refers to a condition where there is a decrease in the number of platelets in the blood, leading to abnormal clotting. Folate deficiency anemia occurs when there is a lack of folate, a B vitamin, which is necessary for the production of red blood cells. Lousy technique refers to errors or mistakes made during the bone marrow aspiration procedure, which can affect the accuracy of the results. Pernicious anemia is a type of anemia caused by the body's inability to absorb vitamin B12, resulting in a decrease in red blood cell production.Rate this question:

Cord blood can be use to substitue bone marrow for transplantation
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Cord blood can be used as a substitute for bone marrow in transplantation procedures. This is because cord blood contains stem cells that can develop into different types of blood cells. These stem cells can be used to treat various diseases, such as leukemia, lymphoma, and certain genetic disorders. Transplanting cord blood is often a safer and less invasive procedure compared to traditional bone marrow transplantation. Therefore, the statement "Cord blood can be used to substitute bone marrow for transplantation" is true.Rate this question:

- D.
A marrow aspiration is generally performed before biopsy
Correct Answer
B. The main purpose of bone marrow aspiration is to collect Bone marrow fluid while the main purpose of bone marrow biopsy is to collect an actual solid piece from the boneExplanation
The main purpose of bone marrow aspiration is to collect bone marrow fluid, which contains cells and other components that can be analyzed for diagnostic purposes. On the other hand, the main purpose of bone marrow biopsy is to collect an actual solid piece of bone marrow tissue, which can provide more detailed information about the structure and composition of the bone marrow. Both procedures can be performed at the sternum, which is a common access site for bone marrow sampling. In general, a marrow aspiration is usually performed before a biopsy to obtain the fluid sample first.Rate this question:

- A.
Leukemia
- B.
Aplastic anaemia
- C.
Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas
- D.
Hodgkin's lymphoma
Correct Answer
B. Aplastic anaemiaExplanation
Aplastic anaemia
Aplastic anemia is a condition where bone marrow does not produce sufficient new cells to replenish blood cells
Describtion of the picture
Hematopoietic elements in this bone marrow biopsy are markedly reduced. This is a case of aplastic anemia. Of course, besides, RBC's the platelets and granulocytes will often be diminished. Sometimes a drug or toxin is the cause and sometimes infection. When no known cause can be found, it is termed idiopathic aplastic anemia.
Non- Hogkin's Lymphoma
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a malignant (cancerous) growth of B or T white blood cells (lymphocytes) in the lymph system.
Hodgkin's lymphoma
Hodgkin's disease is a type of lymphoma. Lymphoma is cancer of lymph tissue found in the lymph nodes, spleen, liver, and bone marrow.
Differences between hodgkin's and non- hodgkin's lymphoma
Both Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are lymphomas.The main difference is in the specific lymphocyte each involves. If the Reed-Sternberg cell is not present, the lymphoma is classified as non-Hodgkin's whereas if the Reed-Sternberg cell is present, it is classified as Hodgkin'sRate this question:

Bone marrow may be used to treat male infertility
- A.
True
- B.
Flase
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Bone marrow may be used to treat male infertility because it contains stem cells that have the potential to differentiate into different types of cells, including sperm cells. These stem cells can be extracted from the bone marrow and used in procedures such as stem cell transplantation or in vitro fertilization to help restore or enhance fertility in males. This treatment option is still being researched and developed, but it shows promise in potentially offering a solution for male infertility.Rate this question:

Which is the main reason for selecting appropriate access site to perform bone marrow aspiration?
- A.
The access site is convenient
- B.
The access site is the center of one of the major marrow producing bones
- C.
The access site hurts less
- D.
The access site is where infection attack first
Correct Answer
B. The access site is the center of one of the major marrow producing bonesExplanation
The main reason for selecting an appropriate access site to perform bone marrow aspiration is that the access site is the center of one of the major marrow producing bones. This is important because the bone marrow is responsible for producing blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. By selecting an access site that is located in a major marrow producing bone, the procedure can be more effective in obtaining an adequate sample of bone marrow for diagnostic purposes or for collecting stem cells for transplantation.Rate this question:

The peripheral blood WBC was normal. Platelets were severely decreased in number. Her marrow aspirate results are shown at left. What is the most important observation made from the aspirate?
- A.
Decreased megakaryocytes
- B.
Normal numbers of myelocytes
- C.
Too little iron
- D.
Too many blasts
- E.
Decreased red cells
Correct Answer
D. Too many blastsExplanation
The most important observation made from the aspirate is that there are too many blasts. Blasts are immature cells that are normally found in the bone marrow, but if they are present in excessive numbers in the peripheral blood or bone marrow, it can indicate a problem such as leukemia. In this case, the patient's symptoms of unexplained fatigue and small bruises, along with the presence of too many blasts in the marrow aspirate, suggest a possible diagnosis of leukemia.Rate this question:
