The aim of the study was to evaluate the justification of Croatian modification of Bethesda classification after thirteen years of its application, answering the question if the subclassification of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) into cervical intraepithelial lesion (CIN) grade 2 (CIN2) and grade 3 (CIN3) is cytologically real and clinically justified. The retrospective study...

Cortical dysplasia accounts for at least 14% of epilepsy cases, and is mostly seen in children. However, the understanding of molecular mechanisms and pathogenesis underlying cortical dysplasia is limited. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to identify potential key molecules in the mechanisms of cortical dysplasia by screening the proteins expressed in brain tissues of childhood cortical...

OBJECTIVES The objectives were to determine the prevalence of laryngeal dysplasia and associated human papilloma virus (HPV) subtypes in adult patients, 18 years or older, suffering from laryngeal papillomatosis at a tertiary care institution. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. METHODS Patients with biopsy proven laryngeal papillomatosis were identified via chart review. All available...

OBJECTIVE Absence of dysplasia in the excised specimen following loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) for treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2/3 is an occasional finding of uncertain clinical significance. We evaluated several factors including age, liquid-based Pap (LBP) test, human papillomavirus (HPV) load before treatment, and HPV typing as predictors for absenc...

The natural history of gastric epithelial dysplasia and its relation to gastric cancer are ill defined. A consecutive series of 40 patients with an initial diagnosis of gastric epithelial dysplasia based on examination of endoscopic biopsies has been reviewed to determine the clinical outcome and to evaluate a two tier histological grading system as a predictor of the risk of cancer. On review,...

Ectodermal Dysplasia is a hereditary disorder commonly associated with trichodysplasia (abnormal hair), onchodysplasia nails), dyshidrosis or missing sweat glands) and abnormal dentition. Due to ectodermal dysplasia, for missing, abnormally shaped, mal-positioned teeth, wide range of prosthetic options are available oral rehabilitation. This case report represents prosthodontic rehabilitation c...

AIMS Evaluation of dysplasia in long standing ulcerative colitis is a difficult and often subjective task. Therefore, the aim of this study was to search for a more objective parameter to help distinguish regenerative changes from epithelial dysplasia. METHODS A total of 97 sections from colectomy specimens from 12 patients with ulcerative colitis of more than 10 years duration were stained i...

OBJECTIVE Hip arthroscopy in the setting of hip dysplasia is controversial in the orthopaedic community, as the outcome literature has been variable and inconclusive. We hypothesise that outcomes of hip arthroscopy may be diminished in the setting of hip dysplasia, but outcomes may be acceptable in milder or borderline cases of hip dysplasia. METHODS A systematic search was performed in dupli...

Fibrous dysplasia is a common benign skeletal lesion that may involve a single bone or multiple bones. Although fibrous dysplasia can affect any bone, monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the long bone typically occurs in the diaphysis or metaphysis. We report a very rare case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia involving the epiphysis of the distal femur in a young man.

Abstract Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia is a condition that courses with retarded development and may cause joint dysmorphia. We report case of posterior interosseous nerve palsy in child dysplasia. After physical examination complementary diagnostic tests revealed compression neuropathy, surgical neurolysis og the was performed at level arcade Frohse. The satisfactory evolution patient confirme...
