Ultrastructural studies and immunophenotyping have shown these cells to be fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. The immunohistochemical profile is very variable, although vimentin is frequently expressed. CD34 expression has been reported in some cases; this can complicate the diagnosis as dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans must then be considered in the differential diagnosis. Immunohistochemistry is ...

Identifying a reliable and effective cytokine or growth factor group has been the focus of stem cell osteogenic induction studies. Concentrated growth factors (CGFs) as the novel generation of platelet concentrate products, appear to exhibit a superior clinical and biotechnological application potential, however, there are few studies that have demonstrated this effect. This study investigated ...

OBJECTIVE To report a case of coexisting irritation fibroma and myofibroma in oral mucosa. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION One case with two painless, nodular masses, adjacent to each other in the buccal mucosa, was clinically examined with a provisional diagnosis of irritation fibroma, salivary gland tumors, neurofibroma and schwannoma. Histological examination of the smaller swelling...

A finishing trial was conducted during the late spring and summer of 2 consecutive years to evaluate long-term feeding of corn gluten feed and dried distillers' grains with solubles in finishing rations in the southeastern United States on feedlot performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality attributes. Each year, 36 steers (yr 1 BW = 396 ± 18 kg; yr 2 BW = 436 ± 23 kg) were assigned ...

Background: Fibromatosis is a rare benign tumor of fibro-myofibroblastic origin. This non-metastasizing tumor has high potential to locally invade and recur after surgical excision. Since 1950, only 99 cases of fibromatosis of head and neck in pediatric age-group are reported in the literature. We present the 100th case in this category. Case-report: A three year old girl presented with a right...

A new approach to recognize and predict succedent epileptic seizure by using single channel electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis is proposed. Spectral analysis of a brain time series of the left frontal FP1-F7 (LF) scalp location signal is devoted for seizure prediction and analysis. Important findings showing the presence of preictal spectral changes in studied brain signal are described. Spect...

Isolated orbital infantile myofibroma are rare tumors in the head and neck. The mass-like clinical presentation and variable histologic features result in frequent misdiagnosis and potentially inappropriate clinical management. There are only a few reported cases in the English literature. Twenty-four patients with orbital infantile myofibroma or myofibromatosis were compiled from the English l...
