BACKGROUND Lymphocytic colitis is characterised by chronic watery diarrhoea with normal endoscopic or radiological findings and microscopic evidence of pronounced infiltration of the colonic mucosa with lymphocytes. AIM To investigate the long term clinical and histological evolution of the disease in a large group of patients with well characterised lymphocytic colitis. METHODS Between 198...

Normal Pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is characterized by gait apraxia, urinary incontinence, and dementia. Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is an autoimmune connective tissue disease that has never been reported to cause NPH. Our patient was a 67-year man with a one-year history of gradual worsening gait and balance, urinary urgency with urge incontinence and decreased short-term memory. P...

the red mite of poultry, dremanyssus gallinae, is the most important hematophagous ectoparasite of poultry. in this study, pathologic changes of its biting on the poultry skin have been investigated. thirty-two (control = 16 and treatment = 16) four weeks old ross broilers (308) were infested with the mite on skin of hock joins. samples were collected after 1, 24, 72 hours and 10 days. the skin...

Abstract Aims Evaluating predictive significance of tumour size in patients undergoing curative colorectal cancer surgery. Methods Patients surgery (77.6% Laparoscopic) for by a single surgeon between January 2013 and 2020 inclusive. Linear/binary logistic regression analyses were modelled to assess whether colonic or rectal could predict R0 resection, specimen length, length >120mm, num...

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has been an increasingly used therapeutic strategy to improve the outcome of advanced gastric cancer (GC) over the past few decades. Lymphocytic infiltration has been reported to be associated with response to NACT, but the immune cell subpopulation and its prognosis contributing to response in GC have not been clarified yet. In the current study, the tumor infil...

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is frequently associated with immune disturbances. The relationship between chronic lymphocytic leukemia and autoimmune cytopenias, particularly autoimmune hemolytic anemia and immune thrombocytopenia, is well established. The responsible mechanisms, particularly the role of leukemic cells in orchestrating the production of polyclonal autoantibodies, are increasingl...

CONTEXT Non-specific lymphocytic infiltrates of the skin pose difficulties in daily practice in pathology. There is still a lack of pathognomonic signs for the differential diagnosis between benign and malignant lymphocytic infiltrates. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the morphological and immunohistochemical profile of lymphocytic infiltrations of the skin according to clinical outcome. TYPE OF STUD...

BACKGROUND Small lymphocytic lymphoma is a relatively rare B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that is considered to be the tissue equivalent of the much more common entity chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Cutaneous manifestations of small lymphocytic lymphoma are infrequent and the literature regarding them sparse. We describe here a case of a patient with a history of small lymphocytic lymphoma who deve...
