The use of aquatic invertebrates in biomedical research and as environmental sentinels has dramatically grown in recent decades, with an increased need in understanding of comparative pathology. The Unionids freshwater mussels are a group of worldwide distributed bivalves residing small ditches and ponds, lakes, canals and rivers, often used as animal test in eco-toxicological studies. Once one...

Rudolf Carl Virchow lived in nineteenth century Prussia, now Germany, and proposed that omnis cellula e cellula, which translates to each cell comes from another cell, and which became a fundamental concept for cell theory. He helped found two fields, cellular pathology and comparative pathology, and he contributed to many others. Ultimately Virchow argued that disease is caused by changes in n...

BACKGROUND Speciality training in oral and maxillofacial pathology (OMFP) across the world would be aided by guidance on a generic curriculum and training programme that all countries could use as a template. In order to facilitate this, we require an understanding of the various forms which OMFP training takes across the world. METHODS We sent a questionnaire to OMF pathologists in the 42 co...

The lack of access to contraceptives and poor control over their own pregnancies represented a major problem for women 100 years ago. An unwanted pregnancy could lead to social exclusion and loss of paid work, and clandestine births and infanticide thus posed a social problem. A review of the archives of the Norwegian Board of Forensic Medicine in the period 1910 to 1912 shows that one-fifth of...

This report questions the cost and effectiveness of routinely sending explanted hardware to pathology for evaluation. Forty-six consecutive patients who had symptomatic hardware removed were enrolled in this study. Pathology reports following hardware removal were obtained, and charts were reviewed for these patients. The pathology department was contacted for related departmental procedure cod...

Biopsy is the gold standard of diagnostic procedures. The American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology has stated its position concerning biopsy use in dental practice, believing that using the procedure more frequently will enhance diagnosis and contribute substantially to the quest for more evidence-based practice. Biopsy is a technique within the scope of practice of general dentists...
