It is well known that light-sheet illumination can enable optically sectioned wide-field imaging of macroscopic samples. However, the optical sectioning capacity of a light-sheet macroscope is undermined by sample-induced scattering or aberrations that broaden the thickness of the sheet illumination. We present a technique to enhance the optical sectioning capacity of a scanning light-sheet mic...

One year after kidney transplantation, a 70-year-old man returned to haemodialysis. Induction had consisted in basiliximab, mycophenolate, prednisone and cyclosporine, the latter was switched to tacrolimus after 9 months. Because of rejection under reduced immunosuppression, the graft was removed 6 months after returning to haemodialysis and immunosuppression was completely stopped. Twelve mont...

In light of the controversy reported in previous studies, we conducted this study with the objective of using macroscopy and light microscopy to elucidate the morphology of the discomallear ligament and detail its topographic relationship with other fibrous structures of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Two human fetuses with 36 and 37 weeks of intrauterine life were used. Bundles of longitud...

On-demand 3D printing of scaffolds and cell-laden structures has shown promising results that can significantly impact human welfare. The objective is to fully understand the behavior of bacterial cellulosic exopolysaccharide gel (BCEG) as a new bioink with low toxicity and high biocompatibility for regenerative medicine. Its possible application is to construct scaffolds that can be used for s...

Clerodendrum inerme belonging to family Verbenacae is an important traditional medicinal plant used in the treatment of various ailments like antibacterial, hepatoprotective, anticarcinogenic, uterine and intestine stimulating properties. However, detailed scientific information is not available to identify the plant material, in order to ascertain its quality and purity. In this paper, we repo...

Boerhaavia diffusa L. (Family: Nyctaginaceae) is an herbaceous plant, spreading vine widely distributed in the tropical and subtropical regions in the world. The plants are a rich source of vitamins, minerals, protein and carbohydrate. In Punjab region, the drug is useful for the eye disease and in Bombay used for dropsical swellings. The leaves juice is used in jaundice and the root is general...

Actinomycosis is a rare disorder caused by an anaerobic gram-positive bacillus (Actinomyces), predominantly by the Actinomyces israelii species. Only 20% of cases show an abdominal manifestation, the appendix and ileocecal valve being the most frequent locations. Definitive diagnosis is based on microbiological cultures, microscopy or macroscopy examination. Nevertheless, histological examinati...

During postnatal development, immature granule cells (excitatory interneurons) exhibit tangential migration in the external granular layer, and then radial migration in the molecular layer and the Purkinje cell layer to reach the internal granular layer of the cerebellar cortex. Default in migratory processes induces either cell death or misplacement of the neurons, leading to deficits in diver...

Photoacoustic imaging is a promising medical technique that provides excellent function of an underlying biological tissue or organ. However, it limited in providing structural information compared to other modalities, such as ultrasound imaging. Thus, offer complete morphological details tissues, photoacoustic typically integrated with This dual-modal already implemented on commercial clinical...

Sphagneticola calendulacea (L.) Pruski. (Family: Asteraceae) is a perennial, spreading hairy herb. It been commonly known as Creeping Daisy, Bhringaraja, etc. The plant used for the treatment of various diseases like sore throat, coughs, inflammations and elephantiasis. Plant decoction recommended uterine haemorrhage menorrhagia. extract also in alopecia dyeing grey hair. For standardization S....
