objective(s): the ability to measure cellular proliferation non-invasively in renal cell carcinoma may allow prediction of tumour aggressiveness and response to therapy. the aim of this study was to evaluate the uptake of 18ffluorothymidine (flt) pet in renal cell carcinoma (rcc), and to compare this to 18f-fluorodeoxyglucose (fdg), and to an immunohistochemical measure of cellular proliferatio...

Background: Immunophenotyping in the rare group of nodal Peripheral T-cell Lymphomas (PTCL) exposes interesting features such as T-cell marker downregulation and paradoxically, the presence of reactive, clustered large-sized CD20 positive B-cells (B-cell proliferation). Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been suggested as a putative etiology in pathogenesis of B-cell lymphoma. We aimed to review the ...

Background: While praised for its benefits in treating symptoms related to menopausal changes, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been associated with an increased risk hormone-dependent cancer development, particularly endometrial and breast. Few studies have elucidated the relationship between HRT cessation receptor-positive breast proliferation. We report herein, best of our knowledge, fi...

objective(s): throughout evolution, mammalians have increasingly lost their ability to regenerate structures however rabbits are exceptional since they develop a blastema in their ear wound for regeneration purposes. blastema consists of a group of undifferentiated cells capable of dividing and differentiating into the ear tissue. the objective of the present study is to isolate, culture expand...
