Abstract: Background: Complete blood counts are done to monitor overall health, to screen for some diseases, to confirm a diagnosis of some medical conditions, to monitor a medical condition, and to monitor changes in the body caused by medical treatments. Most blood counts today include a CBC count and leukocyte differential count (LDC) (that is, not just the total WBC count but also the count of each WBC type, such as neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes). More sophisticated modern analyzers can provide extended differential counts. Objective: This study aimed to assess the effect of Storage and Temperature (4C) on Complete Blood Count Parameters. Materials and Methods: This were cross sectional study conducted in Khartoum state in 2016. It included 100 samples, complete blood count conducted to all 100 samples freshly, after 24hours, 48 hours and 72 hours. Mindary BC-2800 hematological analyzer was used to estimate CBC. Results: There was a significant difference in Hematocrit, mean cell volume, MCHC, red cell distribution width, Lymphocytes, granulocyte %, and platelets indices (P less than 0.05). Lymphocytes count, Mixed count, Lymphocytes %, Mixed % and PCT did not show statistically difference ant it were insignificant with P. values (P=0.067), (P=0.080), (P=0.072), (P=0.088) and (P=0.060) respectively. Conclusion: This study concluded that storage caused significant difference in Hematocrit, mean cell volume, MCHC, red cell distribution width, Lymphocytes, granulocyte %, and platelets indices (P less than 0.05).

Abstract: We report on a patient who presented to the ENT service with right side nasal obstruction. Imaging studies revealed an aggressive non-calcified solid heterogeneous mass centered in the right naso ethmoidal region. The mass was hyper enhanced following contrast media administration. The patient underwent partial tumor resection and a biopsy was performed confirming the presence of Solid Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma. The patient was treated with chemo-radiation therapy.

Abstract: Nowadays, many researchers try to find out a system that enables to detect and expect diseases early so as to find the appropriate precaution or medical treatment of it. One of the leading causes of death worldwide is Cancer. Most of the deaths from this disease are due to late prediction and detection. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS); lung cancer is the second most common cancer; it accounts for about 13% of all new cancers. It is expected to have a 221, 200 new cases of lung cancer in 2015 with 158, 040 estimated deaths from lung Cancer [1]. The main objective of this study is to reach the highest accuracy and speed of its predecessors and this is what has been obtained.
