CONTEXT Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a malignant neoplasm of epithelial tissue origin. OSCC is traditionally graded into well, moderate and poorly differentiated. The assessment of cellular and nuclear features is very important in the histological grading of OSCC. AIMS To establish morphometric study as an important prognostic indicator of OSCC. SETTINGS AND DESIGN The present st...

this study was conducted to investigate theallometric growth pattern and sexual dimorphism in the skull of both sexes ofiranian brown bear (ursus arctos) in thealborz mountains using geometric morphometric and traditional morphometric techniques. morphometric parameters were obtained from 2d pictures of skulls using the software imagej and allometric growth pattern was calculated as a power fun...

background: no data is available on morphology and genetic characteristics of echinococcus granulosus derived from donkeys of iran, despite of its existence in donkeys.in the present study morphometric variations of the rostellar hooks of protoscoleces and genotype characteristics of hydatid cyst of donkey from iran were determined. methods: protoscoleces prepared from hydatid cyst of donkey of...

CONTEXT Differential diagnosis of hyperplastic vs adenomatous lesions is of crucial importance on the daily practice of colonoscopy. OBJECTIVES This study aimed at quantifying digital morphometric characteristics of colonoscopic images obtained with magnification and chromoscopy of three different types of colonic lesions: hyperplastic, adenomas and carcinomas, and the normal mucosa surroundi...

We undertook a morphometric analysis of hepatocellular organelles in an attempt to correlate their changes with the clinical stages of patients with alcoholic hepatitis. Although hepatic ultrastructural alterations did not correlate with disease severity, we found significant differences between patient and control groups in the measured parameters of non-organelle cytoplasm, mitochondria, SER,...

The aim of this study was to evaluate associations between seven morphometric parameters of the nucleoli and nuclei of methyl green and pyronin Y (MG-PY) stained tumour cells of invasive ductal breast carcinoma with relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) time. Histological sections from 150 invasive ductal breast cancers were stained with MG-PY and the following parameters were e...
