conclusions the findings suggest that estrogen supplementation increases damage in testicular tissue due to eccentric exercise. results conventional light microscopic results revealed that testes tissues of the eccentric exercise administered group and the estrogen supplemented group exhibited slight impairment. in groups that were both eccentrically exercised and estrogen supplemented, more de...

This paper presents a generalized statistical texture analysis technique for characterizing and recognizing typical, diagnostically most important, vascular patterns relating to cervical lesions from colposcopic images. Recognizing the fact that the texture patterns related to cervical lesions are primarily due to the vascular structures, the technique first extracts the vascular structures fro...

Understanding context-specific behavior of biological systems plays a fundamental role toward analyzing molecular mechanisms contributing to genetic diseases and the development of efficient therapeutic strategies [1]. The majority of genes show significant differences in expression levels in different tissues that reflect variations in biological pathways characteristic for a particular tissue...

Copolymers of (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (HEMA) and methacrylamide monomers conjugated with amino acids were synthesized and crosslinked with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate. The resulting library of copolymers was mineralized in vitro using two distinct methods. In the first mineralization method, the copolymers were polymerized in the presence of a sub-micron hydroxyapatite (HA) suspension....

Because many inflammatory arthropathies primarily involve the synovial tissue, there has been increased interest in investigations of the pathologic changes in synovial biopsy specimens during the last 2 decades (Reviewed in [1]). This development has been stimulated by technical advances such as the advent of new methods to obtain synovial tissue specimens from actively inflamed joints and cli...

cervical thymic cyst is not a common pathology encountered in either an adult or a child. our case presentation is of an infant girl with a right cervical soft mass. it was totally resected and histological analysis revealed a thymic cyst. the diagnosis of thymic cyst is not possible prior to histological examination. therefore, in children the disorder should be considered as a differential di...

In this paper we describe the modification and assessment of a standard multidistance frequency-domain near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) instrument to perform multifrequency frequency-domain NIRS measurements. The first aim of these modifications was to develop an instrument that enables measurement of small volumes of tissue such as the cervix, which is too small to be measured using a multidi...

STUDY QUESTION How can we study the full transcriptome of endometrial stromal and epithelial cells at the single-cell level? SUMMARY ANSWER By compiling and developing novel analytical tools for biopsy, tissue cryopreservation and disaggregation, single-cell sorting, library preparation, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and statistical data analysis. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Although single-cell trans...
