In clinical laboratories, the diagnosis of parasite diseases can sometimes be challenging for non-expert microbiologists. Indeed, in spite advent molecular biology, macroscopic and microscopic examinations still remain essential. Nonetheless, it is usually not automated requires great skills to complete correct diagnosis. It infrequent that inert elements mislead erroneous diagnoses. Through th...

The aim of this study was to investigate neuron-specific enolase (NSE) immunoreactivity of the different brain regions after pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)- induced epileptic seizures in rats. Light microscopic examinations provided evidences for changes of neuronal activity after single and repeated seizures. The number of NSE (+) cells was well correlated with Nissl staining. The results suggest tha...

background: morphological examinations of urinary erythrocytes can be of diagnostic value in initial evaluation of hematuria. dysmorphic urinary red blood cells are known to indicate a glomerular origin of bleeding. we examined the clinical usefulness of this test in a population complained of hematuria by use of three different methods: light microscopy, phase contrast microscopy, and wright s...

IN 1878 Striimpell' reported a case resembling multiple sclerosis in which he found abnormal hardness and consistency of the brain. He suggested several possible causes, including hypertrophy or atrophy of the brain, senility, alcoholism, saturnism, and acute or chronic inflammatory processes. In 1883, Westphal" reported two cases resembling multiple sclerosis, but the microscopic examinations ...

cases (400). Browne dealt very fully with his subject, describing minutely the microscopic findings in a large number of postmortem examinations. There are many here to-night who will remember these addresses; but in so far as some five years have elapsed since Browne's work was last discussed, we trust that this fresh series of cases will not be devoid of interest. We have not attempted to inv...

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive type of lymphoma with frequent involvement of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The spectrum of GI involvement is highly variable, from clinically overt disease to the insidious disease which can be diagnosed with multiple biopsies and even electron microscopic examinations. Here a case with MCL and accompanying colon cancer without GI symptoms has bee...

most sweet cherry cultivars are as found as self-incompatible and therefore for commercial fruit production, compatible pollinizers are needed. controlled pollination and microscopic examination of pollen tube growth in the style are two classical methods for determination of compatible and incompatible pollen donor cultivars. this experiment was carried out to explore the compatibility of ‘zar...

In the present work, transitional wear of atmospheric plasma sprayed Cr2O3 and Cr3C2 coatings on low carbon steel substrate have been investigated with coating thickness 100μm 200μm. The produced coated uncoated mild samples were characterized by means microscopic examinations, hardness sliding tests for varying parameters load, speed, distance, SEM analysis carried out characterization studies...

Forensic hair examination and comparison is often undervalued as evidence. Significant information can be developed from a thorough microscopic examination and comparison of human and animal hairs that can assist criminal and civil investigations. Animal hairs can be distinguished easily from human hairs and often can be specified to a genus, species, or even breed. Human hairs often can be ide...
