Background & Objective: Meningiomas are the most frequently encountered primary non-glial tumors of the central nervous system (CNS). The Ki67 labelling index (Ki67LI) is a proliferation marker that may prove useful in determining the histological grade. This study aims at: 1) Studying the frequency, grade and histomorphological spectrum of meningiomas, 2) Evaluating 20 histolo...

In a prospective survey of the nephritic syndrome due to primary renal disease in adult patients in the South-east Metropolitan Region of England 50 patients were seen in a two-year period-a minimum annual incidence of 9.0 new cases per million adult population. The frequency distribution of the three main histological groups was "minimal change" 30%, membranous nephropathy 12%, and proliferati...

the rapid advancement of nanotechnology enables us to use nanoscale particles. this material in terms of physical, chemical and biological characteristics are unique compared to larger particles. increased cell division, apoptosis, oxidative stress has been associated with toxic effects of nano-silver. the aim of this study was to evaluate histipotological changes and enzyme activity in nanopar...

background and aims. mineral trioxide aggregate and calcium hydroxide are considered the gold standard pulp-capping materials. recently, portland cement has been introduced with properties similar to those of mineral trioxide aggregate. histopathological effects of direct pulp capping using mineral trioxide aggregate and portland cements on dog dental pulp tissue were evaluated in the present s...

there is an impression that basal cell carcinomas (bcc) occurring in younger population may be of more invasive behavior in comparison to those arising in older patients. the purpose of this study was to investigate this hypothesis by comparing the histological types of bcc in a large cohort of young and old patients. a total of 287 histological reports and clinical records were evaluated. a co...

background many industrial devices have an excessive vibration which can affect human body systems. the effect of vibration on cochlear histology has been as a debatable problem in occupational health and medicine. objectives due to limitation present in human studies, the research was conducted to survey the influence of vibration on cochlear histology in an animal model. materials and methods...
