BACKGROUND Microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites that infect a broad range of vertebrates and invertebrates. They have been increasingly recognized as human pathogens in AIDS patients, mainly associated with a life-threatening chronic diarrhea and systemic disease. However, to date the global epidemiology of human microsporidiosis is poorly understood, and recent data suggest that ...

BACKGROUND Neo-angiogenesis is an essential process in physiological and pathological conditions. However, it is a complex process. Several studies demonstrated that intra-tumoural microvessel number is a significant predictor of metastasis and clinical outcome in many tumours, including oral malignancies. The immuno-surveillance cells, mast cells and eosinophils are implicated in the biologica...

Houses), and when suitably dry, a ridge, 4 x 0 3 cm., is made on the block by means of a U-shaped piece of thin metal (Fig. 1). This 'ridger' was made from a piece of waste brass but any other thin metal should serve equally well. The open end of the 'ridger' is pressed firmly onto the block and pushed down evenly through the entire thickness (0 5 cm.) of the block. Three separate ridges are ma...
