External View. The expresssion of the face was nearly the same as it had been before death, on the preceding night. The cheeks had a puffy appearance, and their cellular membrane, like that of every other part of the body, evidently contained an unusual quantity of serous fluid. The parietes of the hypogastric and umbilical regions were elevated by a tumour, clearly consisting, from its figure,...

PURPOSE To understand the pathophysiology of central serous chorioretinopathy or bullous retinal detachment in patients under systemic corticosteroid treatment. Little is understood about the mechanism of the development of serous retinal detachment. METHODS Three patients who had developed central serous chorioretinopathy or bullous retinal detachment during systemic corticosteroid administr...

BACKGROUND Primary high-grade serous peritoneal carcinoma (PPSC) is a rare malignancy with an ambiguous pathogenesis. CASE REPORT We report on a 51-year-old woman presenting with a routine smear test cytology suspicious of adenocarcinoma. She underwent hysteroscopy, laparsocopy with multiple biopsies and bilateral salpingoophorectomy. She was diagnosed with a serous tubal intraepithelial carc...

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is an idiopathic disorder characterized by serous detachment of the neurosensory retina. This report describes a case of CSC associated with rowatinex usage.

BACKGROUND Central serous chorioretinopathy is a condition typically affecting young adults between 25 and 50 years of age. It is predominating in type A personality trait men. Central serous chorioretinopathy is defined clinically as a detachment of the sensory retina that is commonly unilateral but can also be bilateral. Laser photocoagulation has been used widely with central serous choriore...

Purpose To assess the evolution of retinal findings in patients with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) by funduscopy, intravenous fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography. Observations Three women and one man were followed for a period of 1.5-37 years. Four patients (8 eyes) had drusen detected at first fundus exam at age 24, 29, 50 and 55. Three patients (6 eyes...

The expression and distribution of laminin and type IV collagen, two major components of the basement membrane, were investigated at the epithelio-mesenchymal interface of the human developing tracheal glands from 10 to 37 weeks of gestation. The localization of these molecules was assessed by indirect immunoperoxidase and indirect immunofluorescence staining and correlated to morphogenesis and...

Objective: To investigate the relationship between primary epithelial ovarian tumors and histomorphologic changes in fimbrial ends (FEs) of fallopian tubes. Materials Methods: Twenty-eight serous carcinomas (SCs) 12 non-serous (NSC) were studied. Ovarian concomitant invasive FEs labeled with PAX8, WT-1 Calretinin. Results: Eighty-six percent SCs high grade (HG), 14% low (LG). 71% (85% HG, 15% L...
