Chronic Reduction of Renal Mass: Glomerular Morphometry by Electron Microscopy

Changes of glomerular volume in rats were measured up to 21 weeks following subtotal nephrectomy, using morphometric methods. A linear increase of glomerular volume was observed between 2 and 21 weeks after subtotal nephrectomy. This progressive increase in glomerular volume may reflect compensatory hemodynamic changes leading to an increased single nephron glomerular filtration rate.

Examination of Lung Parenchyma by Electron Microscopy

In this paper many of the principal struc­ture of the Moral Lung were studied with the help of Electron Microscopy. Detailed descrip­tion was given of Granular Pneumocytes, Membranous Pneumocytes, Macrophages, and Alveolar Capillaries. A discussion followed on the form and function of Granular Pneumo­cytes.  Acknowledgements  I am grateful to the Reza Shah Pahlavi Foundation for its generou...

The Role of Electron Microscopy for the Diagnosis of Childhood Glomerular Diseases

OBJECTIVE Optimum diagnosis of glomerulopathies requires light microscopy, immunofluorescence and electron microcopy. In fact electron microscopy has a confirmatory role in glomerular diseases. It provides more information for patient management and can rule out other diseases. The goal of the present study is analysis the necessity of electron microscopy for the diagnosis of childhood glomerul...

Scanning electron microscopy study of hair shaft disorders in psoriasis.

Studies on scalp hair from psoriatic lesions have revealed marked irregularities in the cuticular pattern. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of hair shaft disorders in psoriatic patients and to evaluate the possibility of a correlation with scalp involvement. We examined hair from 39 psoriatic patients using scanning electron microscopy and compared it with hair from a cont...
