objective(s):in this study, we aimed at evaluation of electrophysiological and histopathalogical characteristics of statin-induced muscle injury as well as clinical features of patients who develop this condition in terms of frequency and pattern of evolution. materials and methods: forty patients (age 39-74 years) including 25 subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus, 9 with cardiovascular disea...

Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign tumor of major salivary glands and intra nasal PA unusual which may be misdiagnosed as malignancy. A 65-year-old female presented with unilateral bleeding obstruction in right cavity for 6 months. Local examination showed polypoid mass surgically excised. HPE classic triphasic component epithelial, myoepithelial cartilaginous stromal elements p...

Antigenic group 2 coronavirus was detected in a fecal sample of an adult alpaca by reverse transcription-PCR. The presence of alpaca coronavirus (ApCoV) in the small intestine was demonstrated by immune histochemistry with an antinucleocapsid monoclonal antibody that reacts with group 2 coronaviruses. Other common causes of diarrhea in adult camelids were not detected. We conclude that nutritio...

Isolation of immune cells that infiltrate the central nervous system (CNS) during infection, trauma, autoimmunity or neurodegeneration, is often required to define their phenotype and effector functions. Histochemical approaches are instrumental to determine the location of the infiltrating cells and to analyze the associated CNS pathology. However, in-situ histochemistry and immunofluorescent ...

The histological architecture of major immune organs in the Malabar grouper Epinephelus malabaricus was investigated. The novel characteristics such as melanomacrophage centres (MMCs) appeared in the thymus and lymphopoietic tissue formed as foci in the head kidney. Leukocyte distribution in organs was identified by enzyme histochemistry. b-glucuronidase (BG) reactive cells in the cortex region...

morphological and histochemical study of the abomasal epithelium in camel (camelus dromedarius) wascarried out by light and scanning electron microscopes. the lining of the abomasum was divided into fourregions, i.e. cardiac, pseudocardiac, fundic and pyloric. our investigation revealed that the cardiac andpseudocardiac regions occupy a wide part of the abomasum in camel and it reaches approxim...
