The accuracy of diagnosis of hematological diseases from bone marrow aspirates and peripheral blood smears is considerably improved by use of histochemical stains. As hematopoietic cells differentiate and mature from the pluripotent stem cell and are committed to a particular cell line, the committed cell lines produce different substances, particularly enzymes, which can be identified by vario...

This is the first of three papers on the application of enzyme histochemical techniques to the study of developing and diseased muscle. This paper will deal with developing muscle in various laboratory animals, the second with developing human muscle, and the third with hereditary neurogenic atrophies in infancy and childhood. In 1678 Stefano Lorenzini had already observed that animal muscle co...

The lectins Peanut agglutinin (PNA), Canavalia ensiformis (Con A), Ulex europaeus-1 (UEA-1), Dolichos biflorus (DBA), Triticum vulgaris (WGA) were studied in a series of 36 meningiomas (16 meningotheliomatous-including 3 recurrences, 7 transitional, 4 angiomatous, 2 "hemangiopericytic", 3 papillary-including 1 recurrence, 4 anaplastic-including 3 recurrences. PNA binds to all cases of meningoth...

The current study emphasizes on routine, mucin and lipid histochemistry procedures to estimate and compare histological hazards in diseased human stone filled and bacterial infections induced hypertrophied gall bladder. 100 normal & 50 (25+25) diseased human gallbladders having cholelithiasis and cholecystitis were chosen for conduction of this study. After proper processing, from each sample 3...

building which the Admiralty acknowledged: "Though science is much respected by their Lordships and your paper is much esteemed, it is too learned." Young was also appointed as Superintendent of the Nautical Almanac and Secretary of the Board of Longitude. In this he was unable to satisfy the demands both of the navigators and of the astronomers, incurring the displeasure of both. A bibliograph...
