We compared a selection of quantitative immunological methods for prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) with routine colorimetric assays for total and tartrate-labile acid phosphatase and evaluated their relative clinical merits in the differential diagnosis of prostatic carcinoma. We also assessed a wide range of commercial control materials for suitability of use with these methods. Patients studi...

Background.  Due to the unintended potential misclassifications of the World Health Organization (WHO) immunological failure criteria in predicting virological failure, limited availability of treatment options, poor laboratory infrastructure, and healthcare providers' confidence in making switches, physicians delay switching patients to second-line antiretroviral therapy (ART). Evaluating whet...

METHODS 49 mucosal biopsy specimens of the second part of the duodenum reported a...

the aim of this sutdy is to prepare histocompatability y(hy) antibody in female mouse at the first phase (current study), and to separate mouse embryos with regard to their sex, to be able to obtain offsprings of disired sex, by means of hy antibody, at the second phase. totally 421 balb/c inbred mice were used. antibodies were produced in females by intraperitonial injections of spleen and tes...

Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is an inflammatory cutaneous disease with typical histopathological and immunopathological findings clinically characterized by intensely pruritic polymorphic lesions with a chronic-relapsing course. In addition to classic clinical manifestations of DH, atypical variants are more and more frequently reported and histological and immunological are added to them, whe...

tuberculosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. it is a chronic granulomatous disease that can affect any part of the body, including the oral cavity. oral lesions of tuberculosis, though uncommon, are seen in both the primary and secondary stages of the disease. this article presents a case of tuberculosis of the buccal mucosa, manifesting as non-healing, non-painful ulcer....

irritable bowel syndrome (ibs) is the most prevalent functional gastrointestinal disorder noted in the general population worldwide. its chronic nature, signs and symptoms which vary periodically from mild to severe have many negative effects on the quality of life for the sufferer; therefore the appropriate treatment of these patients is highly important. patients should be informed by their d...

Histopathological and immunological investigations have been performed in 16 cases of post-traumatic granulomatous (10) and non-granulomatous uveitis (6). Most cases of sympathetic ophthalmitis showed evidence of cell mediated immunity to uveoretinal antigens, though it was not possible to make a definitive diagnosis on immunological grounds alone. Three patients with post-traumatic non-granulo...

The diagnosis given by histopathological immunological examination. Elective treatment consists surgical excision free resection borders, adjuvant chemotherapy / radiotherapy immunotherapy checkpoint inhibitors can be used to co...
