Pancreatic Pathology: A Practical Review

Molecular Pathology of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: A Review

The etiology of cancer is very complex and yet to understand thoroughly. One of the most complex type of them is pancreatic cancer, especially Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma which is also the most common form of pancreatic cancer. Researchers have shown that specific gene mutations are the initial footstep of this form of cancer, for example inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes such as p16, DPC4, ...

PRIMARY PANCREATIC LYMPHOMA: A CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW

Primary pancreatic lymphoma is a rare extranodal manifestation of any histopathologic subtype of B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that predominantly involves the pancreas. It comprises less than 0.2% of pancreatic malignancies and less than 0.7% of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. This lymphoma is almost never suspected clinically. It is usually diagnosed by surgical exploration for suspected adenoca...

A review of advances in pancreatic tissue engineering

Background: A common treatment for patients with type 1 diabetes in which pancreatic beta cells are destroyed by their own immune system attack, is insulin injection. Because this treatment is not able to maintain complete glucose homeostasis compared to the function of endogenous insulin secreted by the pancreas; in the field of pancreatic tissue engineering, various treatment strategies have ...

Practical Histology and Pathology

In this third edition of his practical little handbook, Dr. Gibbes has introduced a quantity of new matter and subjected the previous edition to revision. The chapters entitled " On Bacteria " and " On Staining Bacteria " consist merely of a few isolated extracts on the subject from certain journals, when a well-digested summary would be much more acceptable.
