We studied the effects of high-dose irradiation on the mechanical properties and morphology of cortical bone in rabbits for 52 weeks after a single dose of 50 Gy of electron-beam to the tibia. After four weeks, the bending strength of the irradiated bone was unchanged, but at 12 weeks, the strength had decreased significantly. At 24 weeks after irradiation mean strength was less than half of co...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Acquired and genetic thrombotic conditions, both organ and non organ specific, are associated with increased foetal wastage. This study was carried out to examine the placenta from women with abnormal pregnancies and a history of unexplained foetal loss, and to associate with maternal thrombophilia status.

Esophageal verrucous squamous cell carcinoma and esophageal cuniculatum are rare variants of extremely well-differentiated carcinoma. These tumors share similar risk factors clinical presentations with conventional However, these have distinct morphological features, molecular mutation profiles, outcomes. Diagnosis can be challenging, requires high suspicion, often only diagnosed on a deep muco...

The present study evaluated the effects of feeding frequency (FF) and dietary protein/carbohydrate (P/CH) ratios on intestinal histomorphology, microbiota profile, digestive oxidative stress-related enzyme activities gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata). To this purpose, two practical diets were formulated: one with 50% P 10% CH (P50/CH10) other 40% 20% (P40/CH20). Triplicate groups fish <math xml...

The non-neoplastic lesions of the uterine cervix are frequently seen in the histopathology departments. Of the 821 cervical specimens received, 909 non-neoplastic lesions were evaluated. Most of the patients’ presented with vaginal bleeding, mass per vagina and white discharge. Based on histomorphology, the non-neoplastic lesions were divided into 3 categories i.e. Non-Infective NonAdaptative l...
