Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) results in histologically complex specific and nonspecific injury patterns. In clinical research of NAFLD, the liver biopsy evaluation provides a wealth of information on the architectural arrangement and severity of a variety of histologic changes, including steatosis, inflammation, cellular injury, and fibrosis. This information is summarized as an ove...

Introduction: Meningiomas are a group of neoplasms showing spectrum histopathological variants, mostly corresponding to World Health Organization (WHO) grade I. However, certain histologic variants correspond histologically WHO grades II and III. In this study, the adult as well paediatric meningiomas received in our department over last 12 years is being revisited with aim analyse various asse...

To examine the impact of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) as an early marker of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) and the effect of prone position during the VILI, we ventilated 28 normal white rabbits (10 supine, 10 prone, 8 controls) for 6 hr or until PaO2/FIO2 ratio was<200 mmHg. We applied an identical injurious ventilatory pattern (peak inspiratory pressure of 35 cmH2O with a PEEP of 3 cmH2...

OBJECTIVES To describe the natural evolution of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) reinnervation in an animal model. STUDY DESIGN Twenty Sprague Dawley rats underwent unilateral RLN transection and anastomosis. Animals were sacrificed at 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 weeks. Prior to sacrifice, each rat underwent electromyography (EMG) and visual grading of vocal fold motion. Bilateral RLNs were harvested...

Objectives: To determine the whether histological prostatic inflammation correlates with serum prostate specific antigen (PSA), free PSA (fPSA) and percent of fPSA (%fPSA) levels in elderly patients without clinically proven cancer. Methods: A total 115 cancer transrectal biopsy were included this retrospective study. Patients divided two main groups as histologic inflammation. grading was perf...

BACKGROUND Phyllodes tumors (PT) of the breast are uncommon, and it is often difficult to predict their clinical behavior from histologic features in individual cases. In addition to routine morphology, the studies of p53 protein and Ki-67 antigen expression in PT may be useful to differentiate benign from malignant tumors. METHODS Immunohistochemical analyses using monoclonal antibody to lab...

The study aims to assess the role of imprint cytology in diagnosis thyroid nodules and compare it with paraffin Section lesions. It included 40 patients who visited Private Hospitals Aleppo during period from April December 2021. results indicated that there were 19 cancer, representing 47.5%, whom 14 diagnosed Papillary Carcinoma, a percentage 35%, 5 cases Follicular 12.5%, while remaining 21 ...
