Struma ovarii often escapes recognition during intraoperative consultation because of its rarity, subtle characteristic gross appearance, and lack of clinical suspicion. An intraoperative diagnosis of benign struma ovarii enables the general gynecologic surgeon to continue the planned surgery. However, a diagnosis of malignnancy in a struma ovarii would alter the course of surgery with the invo...

Micropthalmia transcription factor (Mitf) is involved in melanocyte development and differentiation. The current study was undertaken to determine whether there is a relationship between Mitf expression and survival in patients with intermediate-thickness (1.0-4.0 mm) melanoma. Original paraffin blocks or slides of the primary tumor were accessible in 63 such patients. Mitf expression was evalu...

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether DQ could prove useful to identify monosodium urate (MSU) and calcium pyrophosphate dehydrate (CPPD) crystals on permanent mounted stained slides. To this end, we studied 27 synovial fluid (SF) samples obtained from the knees of patients with the pseudogout (n=21) and acute gouty arthritis (n=6). Wet analysis for crystal detection and identification ...

There were investigated 15 cases with normal thymus removed during cardiac surgery and nine cases with clinical signs of myasthenia gravis. Four patients with myasthenia gravis had thymoma (three invasive, one non-invasive). Specimens were fixed in buffer formalin, embedded in paraffin and slides were stained with Hematoxylin-Eosin and Alcian blue-Safranin. Additional slides were stained for fa...

We designed prospective studies to compare manual and computerized analysis of sperm morphology by strict criteria using different semen processing and staining techniques. A total of 54 semen samples were studied; slides were prepared from each subject from liquefied semen and after washing, and stained with Diff-Quik or Papanicolaou. An intra-laboratory, blind assessment was performed manuall...

In order to perform a histomorphometric study of blood cells in male adult ostrich, blood samples were obtained from jugular vein of 10 clinically healthy male adult ostriches (2 - 3 years old). The slides were stained with the Giemsa methods and the smears were evaluated for cellular morphology, with cellular size being determined by micrometry. The findings of this study revealed that the sha...

Aim. We aim to compare immunophenotypic characteritics of atypical epithelium (AE) with COVID-19-induced diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) and pulmonary lepidic-growth adenocarcinoma, accounting for cell cycle control, proliferation differentiation]. Methods. examined tissue specimens from twenty-four fatal cases acute respiratory syndrome confirmed by autopsy (Group 1) four adenocarcinoma 2). Perp...

enterobius vermicularis is a nematod of large intestine in man. extra intestinal localization of this parasite is rare. a 60 year old man was admitted to the hospital with the clinical manifestation of meningitis. in laboratory examination of cerebrospinal fluid (c.s.f), the appearance was red, albu-min level was high and the glucose showed normal value. haematoxylin and eosin stained slides pr...

Aim: In our study, we aimed to reveal the effect of tumor budding(TB) on prognosis in urothelial carcinomas and compare most commonly used alternative method (AM) International Tumor Budding Consensus Conference (ITBCC) system. TB can be easily assessed routine hematoxylin eosin-stained slides. studies, was found associated with prognostic parameters many organs. assessment organ cancers is bas...
