The electrical properties of tissues depend on their architecture and cellular composition. We have previously shown that changes in electrical impedance can be used to differentiate between different degrees of cervical dysplasia and cancer of the cervix. In this proof-of-concept study, we aimed to determine whether electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) could distinguish between normal oral ...

objectives major differences exist in the anatomy and biomechanics of the growing spine that causes failure patterns different from those in adults. spinal injury in the pediatric patient is a main concern because timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment can prevent further neurologic damage and deformity and potentiate recovery. we conducted a retrospective clinical study of 137 cases (93 bo...

White sponge nevus (WSN) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder with variable penetrance (1). It was first described by Hyde in 1909 (2); in 1935 Cannon named it white sponge nevus (3). Several other names have been applied to this condition: HydeCannon’s disease, familial white folded dysplasia, congenital leukokeratosis mucose oris, hereditary leukokeratosis, and white folded gingivostomatosis...

The present study aimed to identify the topography, morphology, histochemistry and histology of lung structures, bronchial divisions trachea in adult local Squirrel (Sciurus anomalus) as a species inhabited Iraqi environments. This work was conducted on thirty both sexes (15) males females were divided into three equal groups, first for http://wsx5customurl.comanatomical perceptions, second res...

background & objectives: tumor diathesis (td) is defined as granular proteinaceous precipitates on slide surface of cytologic smears. it is found in the background of smears of invasive carcinoma but not in all cases. the aim of present study was to determine the prevalence of td in cervicovaginal smears from patients with uterine cervix carcinoma. methods: cytological smears and histologi...

Submandibular space is part of the deep neck fascial spaces, bordered by oral mucosa mouth floor on above and superficial layer cervical fascia bottom, as it extends from mandible to hyoid bone. frequently involves odontogenic infections, which can cause significant mortality morbidity. Open surgical incision drainage are treatment choice for submandibular abscesses. This a case report 47-years-...

Understanding how individuals with a high degree of HIV exposure avoid persistent infection is paramount to HIV vaccine design. Evidence suggests that mucosal immunity, particularly virus-specific CTL, could be critically important in protection against sexually acquired HIV infection. Therefore, we have looked for the presence of HIV-specific CD8+ T cells in cervical mononuclear cells from a s...

To determine that susceptibility of AMPLICOR Chlamydia trachomatis PCR to inhibitory factors possibly present in cervical specimens, we obtained cervical specimens from 200 gynecology patients attending our outpatient clinic. The prevalence of C. trachomatis infection was 4.1%, as determined by cell culture. All AMPLICOR specimens were tested in one procedure as described by the manufacturer, a...

OBJECTIVES This investigation examined human papillomavirus (HPV) in pregnant women in order to characterize viral prevalence, types and concordance between infection in the cervix and in the oral cavity. METHODS A total of 577 pregnant women seeking routine obstetric care were evaluated for HPV infection in their cervix during gestation and immediately before delivery, and in the oral cavity...
