Two carbonate stones (a limestone and a marble), commonly used for flooring, wall cladding countertops, were exposed to different staining agents. After each cycle (staining cleaning with non-ionic detergent solution), the surface degradation was assessed on scale ranging from unchanged severe change (based qualitative characterization presented standard UNE-EN 16301:2014), stereomicroscopy col...

objective the aim of this study was to compare the sensitivity and specificity of acid fast and auramine-rhodamine staining and multiplex pcr for the detection of mycobacterium tuberculosiscomplex and non tuberculosis mycobacteria on formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissues (ffpe) materials and methods forty cases of ffpe pleural and bronchial tissue with chronic granulomatous inflammation and ...

Though leiomyosarcoma usually occurs in the gastrointestinal tract and uterus, it rarely occurs in the wall of large veins and arteries. We present a case of primary leiomyosarcoma arising in the great saphenous vein of the left inner thigh and spreading for some extent along the vein in a 54 year old female. Diagnosis was confirmed by desmin stain and electron microscopy. Postoperative course ...

keratocystic odontogenic tumor (kcot) is a benign intraosseous neoplasm of the jaw occurring most commonly in mandibular ramus molar area with male predilection. peripheral kcots are very uncommon. here we report a case of keratocyst in buccal mucosa in a 55 years old female patient, the diagnosis of which was based on subjective histological evaluation and further confirmed by immunohistochemi...

Figure 1. Upper left, Photograph showing skin lesions on arm and shoulder of patient. Upper right, CT scan of neck revealing multiple enlarged lymph nodes. Lower left, Detail of a skin ulcer on forehead of patient. Lower right, Histologic examination of skin biopsy specimen showing perivascular infiltrates of neutrophil granulocytes and ovoid yeasts (diameter, 15 mm) and a thick cell wall (peri...

The components of higher-plant cell walls which become electron-opaque after staining with ruthenium-osmium were studied by electron microscopy. A fibrillar material which absorbs this stain is a major wall constituent in the root epidermal cells of carrot and morning glory. In both form and size, these fibrils resemble those found on the surface of suspension-cultured cells of the same species...

Breast cancer with stomach metastasis rare with an incidence of 1% or less among metastatic breast cancer patients. We experienced a case of breast cancer metastasizing to the stomach in 65-year-old female patient. She experienced dyspepsia and poor oral intake before visiting the clinic. Diffuse infiltration with nodular mucosal thickening of the stomach wall was observed, suggesting advanced ...

Cryosclerosis was developed at the end of the last decade. It is the endovenous cryoablation of the great saphenous vein and has been forgotten before the era of the endovenous ablation techniques began. The caused histomorphological changes of the vein weren't described before, especially, years after the procedure. A 31-year-old female patient underwent cryosclerosis 2 years ago. Because of t...

The clear cell variant urothelial carcinoma of urinary bladder is very rare and unusual neoplasm defined histologically by clear cell pattern and glycogen-rich cytoplasm. Our case of clear cell carcinoma was diagnosed with immunohistochemistry stain. A 72-year-old man, presented with painless macroscopic hematuria in November 2007. Evaluation revealed papillary tumor in urinary bladder. A trans...

For studying the morphology of bacteria in fixed smears, Knaysi (J. Bact., 49, 375) demonstrated the value of staining by a method showing the cell wall. Knaysi (J. Bact., 41, 141) developed a tannin alum fuchsin method which stains differentially the cytoplasm, cell wall, and capsule. It is the purpose of this note to report another cell wall stain in which the cell wall is positively charged ...
