The extent of elastosis in the stroma within the anatomical "tumour" in 80 patients with breast carcinoma was assessed by observational microscopy using a 4-point grading system, and measured by semiautomated histometry as an area percentage with a Quantimet 720 image-analysing computer. In this retrospective study, measurement of elastosis in tissue removed at time of initial diagnosis was sho...

In this paper, finite element method is used to obtain thermal conductivity coefficients of single-walled carbon nanotube reinforced polypropylene. For this purpose, the two-dimensional representative volume elements are modeled. The effect of different parameters such as nanotube dispersion pattern, nanotube volume percentage in polymer matrix, interphase thickness between nanotube and surroun...

Histological and histometric changes in the testes of albino Wistar rats were correlated. Wistar rats weighing between 180-240 g were randomly divided into three groups of ten rats each. One group served as control and the rats were given normal saline. The second and third groups received 2 mg/kg and 4 mg/kg body weights of chloroquine phosphate daily for thirty days respectively. Seminiferous...

we report a case of florid polypoid endometriosis presenting with advanced bulky disease in pelvis with serum ca – 125 levels of 7844u/ml. the extent of tumor, ct scan findings, elevated serum ca – 125 levels were suggestive of ovarian malignancy. histopathology demonstrated endometrial glands and stroma. glands were neither crowded nor complex and were separated by a fibromatous stroma that co...

This report describes the histopathological features of an ossifying epulis, measuring 1.5 × 1 × 1 cm in length, width and height, respectively, on the lingual surface of the lower jaw of a 2.5 year-old parrot cichlid (Hoplarchus psittacus) from a commercial aquarium. The tumor had appeared in the oral cavity three months prior to its introduction to the laboratory for diagnosis. Grossly, the n...

Introduction: Accurate body composition is important for a variety of reasons including health and fitness. The purposes this study were to compare predicted thoracic gas volumes (TGVp) measured (TGVm) percentage fat (%BF) from the Bod Pod using TGVp TGVm. Methods: Participants included 31 male college athletes (18-22 years) on basketball, soccer, tennis, baseball, or track teams. Each particip...
