Rhinosporidiosis is a granulomatous disorder caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi, an aquatic parasite. It spreads through contaminated water and soil. It frequently involves the nasal cavity and nasopharynx. Disseminated or systemic lesions are rare. A 56 year old man presented with multiple tumor like lesions all over the body in our cancer institute in April 2012. Fine needle aspiration cyto...

addition of potassium cyanide to a mixture of schiff base and lithium perchlorate afforded a-aminonitriles in high yields. addition of potassium cyanide to a methanolic solution of schiff base and phosphoric acid afforded a-aminonitriles. when the reaction mixture was refluxed it gave a-amino acids in high yields.

AIMS For many years the presence of strong intracytoplasmic periodic acid Schiff (PAS) positive, diastase resistant (DPAS) staining within atypical cells has been used in this laboratory as a marker for carcinoma in fine needle aspirates from breast lesions. The aim of the current study was to document such DPAS positivity across the spectrum from benign to malignant breast disease and assess i...

INTRODUCTION/METHODS After the recognition of contaminating algae on histopathological sections stained by periodic acid Schiff (PAS) and Grocott methods, a detailed audit was undertaken to assess the extent of contamination and its possible source. RESULTS The contaminating organism was a member of the staurastrum genus of Chlorophyta, star shaped organisms commonly found in fresh water mars...

Both the presence and impact of biofilms have proved to be ground breaking regarding early diagnosis and treatment in acute and chronic cutaneous, neurological and other internal diseases. Further, biofilms and the activation of the innate immune system have added clarity to the pathogenesis of those diseases. Our current observations are the first to demonstrate viral biofilms in skin disease;...

Blood cells are key component of organism for their survival and has profound role in defence mechanism of invertebrates similarly in bivalve species, the key role is healing wound and nutrients transportation. The Anadara antiquata is unique because of haemoglobin in their haemolymph and it is commonly found in Pakistani coast.  Present investigation revealed three types of Blood cells, namel...

BACKGROUND This research studied the effect of ciprofloxacin (CPFX) on spermatogenesis. We aimed to estimate the effect of CPFX on serum levels of testosterone, LH and FSH. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experimental study, a total of 24 mice were assigned to controlsham and test groups. We subdivided the test group into low (206 mg/kg) and high (412 mg/kg) dose CPFX groups. Control-sham anima...

Abstract Background and Aims Machine learning (ML) holds great promise for improving diagnostics, prognostication theranostics in nephropathology. So far, applications have not gone much further than segmentation of tissue compartments on whole slide images (WSIs) paraffin sections. As a proof-of-concept study, we describe the development diagnostic classifier glomerulephritis based expert-anno...
