Fungi and mycobacteria are ubiquitous in our environment. Many organisms colonise skin, airways other sites. Identifying tissue, along with the characteristic immune response to is essential diagnosis of fungal mycobacterial infections. Morphological appearances often non-specific, staining patterns, cultures methods, including molecular techniques used specifically identifying organisms. Host ...

Ms. W, a female older adult patient, was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the left oral cavity and underwent a wide local excision of the lesion with segmental mandibulectomy. About nine months later, she presented with an aggressive local recurrence. Because of the tumor’s location, Ms. W found oral intake to be extremely difficult; therefore, a percutaneous endoscopic gastronomy tube...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs) and copper ions (Cu++) on guppy (Poecilia reticulata), in order to assess Cu uptake in the gill, and histopathology of gill and intestinal organs in semi-static regimes for 10 days. Guppy fish were assigned into three groups; one control group, and two experimental groups receiving 20 µg/l of eith...

Splenic infarction occurs due to occlusion of splenic vessels that leads to splenic tissue ischemia and necrosis. There are several reports regarding splenic infarction in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Herein, we report a case of acute promyelocytic anemia (AML-M3) who presented with abdominal pain and splenic infarction.

BACKGROUND Nipple-sparing techniques have improved the aesthetics of reconstruction following mastectomy, but nipple necrosis complicates up to 37% of procedures, distressing patients, delaying adjuvant therapy, and compromising outcomes. No method reliably detects nipple necrosis better than clinical assessment of tissue perfusion. We prospectively assessed the accuracy of intraoperative indoc...

Introduction: Increasing the volume of penis by injecting various substances (paraffin, silicone, mineral oils) remains a highly controversial procedure. This procedure is usually performed patients themselves or persons without licensed medical education. Injecting these causes local inflammatory reaction with redness, pain, swelling, thickening penile skin, subsequent formation sclerosing lip...

background: formalin is an aqueous solution of formaldehyde. it is a protoplasmic poison and causes coagulation necrosis and tissue fixation. case: a 19-year-old girl was brought for autopsy to the mortuary of jss medical college, mysore. conclusion: formalin is an unusual poison to be ingested for suicidal purposes due to selective availability and its strong taste and odor.

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is very rare disorder that is characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract in the absence of any definite causes of eosinophilia. It is associated with various clinical gastrointestinal manifestations, and depends on the involved layer and site. We report a case of eosinophilic gastritis presenting with severe necrosis. The symptoms disap...
