The significance of smear cytology of ultrasonography (US) or computed tomography (CT) guided core needle biopsy tissues have never been referred to. In this study, the first comparison between cytology and the corresponding histopathology was made to clarify the role of additional smear cytology in the diagnosis of lung lesions. This was a retrospective analysis of sixty-nine consecutive patie...

The effects of kappa opioids on seizures and seizure-induced histopathology were investigated with the pilocarpine model of temporal lobe epilepsy. Rats treated with the kappa opioid receptor agonist U50488h before pilocarpine showed: 1) increased seizure latency; 2) decreased seizure duration; 3) decreased mossy fiber sprouting; and 4) increased hilar neuron survival when compared with rats pr...

Methods. Forty-four surgically excised melanocytic lesions of the iris were histologically classified as nevus or melanoma. Morphometric analysis using a digital filar micrometer (LaSICO 1602N-10 and 5-4A) measured the mean size of the 10 largest nucleoli, and Feulgen staining and image cytometry (CAS 200 Cell Analysis Systems) analyzed the nuclear DNA ploidy in the lesions. Patient follow-up i...

Report of a Case. A 39-year-old man with a history of RK performed elsewhere 8 years prior had complaints of decreased vision in both eyes. The patient’s preoperative refraction was –9.25 OD and –9.50 OS. According to the patient, the initial surgery was uncomplicated, although both eyes required enhancements. Cycloplegic refraction in our office was –3.50 +0.50 70 OD and –13.50 +1.00 100 OS, g...

The clinical presentation of bronchiectasis occurs after initial irreversible damage to the airway has occurred. The clinician then has to control symptoms and limit the progression of the disease. A clearer understanding of the pathogenesis of this disease will enable the development of better treatment strategies. Bronchiectasis is a multi-factorial disease process in which there are a number...

The Fifth edition of the World Health Organization classification digestive system and American Joint Committee on Cancer staging manual contain substantial refinements information for esophageal tumors. epithelial tumors esophagus are classified as benign, dysplasia, malignant groups. Dysplasia is divided into Barrett dysplasia squamous graded either low-grade or high-grade. Malignant often ad...

Background: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) breast is a very rare triple negative cancer with relatively better overall prognosis. They have histomorphological and immunohistochemical features similar to the salivary gland MEC. Literature suggests that they also carry molecular characteristics Case Presentation: A 73-years-old woman presented complaints of painful, foul smelling pus discharging ...

Data on TMPRSS2-ERG and AR-V7 may pave the way for personalised therapy for prostate cancer (PCa) patients. Comprehensive molecular profiling can help identify multiple PCa subtypes and driving alterations. Translating these findings into clinical practice is still challenging.

Pacific herring Clupea pallasi immunoglobulin is an IgM-like molecule comprised of heavy and light chains with molecular weights of 79 and 25 to 27 kD, respectively. Purified immunoglobulin was used to generate highly specific polyclonal antibodies for development of a sandwich ELISA. The ELISA was used to quantify total plasma IgM in 602 Pacific herring captured in Prince William Sound and Sit...
