A morphometric analysis of tumoral Langerhans cells and activated macrophages was conducted using canine cutaneous tumors (65 cases of canine cutaneous histiocytoma and 7 cases of pyogranuloma). The histiocytic origin of the tumor cells was confirmed using immunohistochemistry. The parameters of the morphometric analysis included cellular and nuclear size and shape and the nuclear:cytoplasmic r...

In lymphoproliferative diseases, bone marrow involvement (BMI) is an essential parameter influencing staging, prognosis and treatment. In addition to pathological analysis of blind bone marrow biopsy, MRI and PET can help to (a) estimate initial BMI and assess the stage of disease, (b) indicate prognosis and (c) assess response to treatment. Regarding diagnosis, the MR patterns of focal and dif...

Follicular variant of papillary thyroid cancer typically favors nodal spread. We report a case with hematogenous spread including multi-organ involvement and describe our staged management approach. This is the first case to report follicular variant of papillary thyroid cancer with simultaneous adrenal and renal involvement.

Active ageing level and its discrepancy in different regions (Bangkok, Central, North, Northeast, and South) of Thailand have been examined for prioritizing the policy agenda to be implemented. Attempt has been made to test preliminary active ageing models for Thai older persons and hence active ageing index (AAI, ranges from 0 to 1) has been estimated. Using nationally representative data and ...

We present an unusual case of syphilis that despite starting treatment with penicillin has evolved with renal complications. Due to glomerulonephritis with nephrotic syndrome the case required shared care between the renal physician and dermatologist.

The prognosis tumors depends on early and accurate staging as well histopathological type tumor. It suggested that NSCLC with different types primary tumor sizes can elicit variable max.SUV values 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomogr...
