Gemistocytic astrocytoma
A rare variant of diffuse astrocytoma. It is characterized by the presence of a conspicuous, though variable, fraction of gemistocytic neoplastic astrocytes. Gemistocytes are round to oval astrocytes with abundant, glassy, non-fibrillary cytoplasm which appears to displace the dark, angulated nucleus to the periphery of the cell. To make the diagnosis of gemistocytic astrocytoma, gemistocytes should amount to more than approximately 20% of all tumor cells. (Adapted from WHO)

Diarrhoea is a leading cause of death in children, with nearly 500,000 young lives lost to diarrhoea each year. Almost all these lives could be saved with a low-cost & widely available treatment - oral rehydration salts (ORS). A new study has revealed that ORS is under-prescribed in India; 50% of children with diarrhea did not receive this lifesaving treatment. There are several popular explanations for the under-prescription of ORS in India. What may be the major reason in your opinion?
