abstract-cervicovaginal cytology is still a widely used cancer screening method that is well established in most countries. the present study aims at detecting and classifying squamous intraepithelial abnormalities and effects of certain infectious agents, particularly the cytopathic effects of human papillomavirus (hpv) in a series of cervicovaginal smears, according to the bethesda system (tb...

Background: Since cervical cancer is reportedly the seventh most frequent cancer in women in Saudi Arabia and the eighth most frequent cancer among women aged between 15 and 44 years, we wanted to determine the prevalence of abnormal cervical cytology among subfertile women attending the reproductive medicine unit of a tertiary care center in Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods: This was a retr...

primary splenic cyst is a rare entity and majority of the cases are classified as epithelial cysts. they are uncommon, comprising only about 10% of benign non-parasitic cysts. most of the cysts are asymptomatic, and they are incidental findings during abdominal ultrasonography. we report a case of 20 years old male who presented with 1 year history of mild abdominal pain and left upper quadrant...

Aim. Cervical cancer is one of the most common female malignancy with high mortality rates in developing countries. Our purpose is to present cervical cytologic abnormalities and the detection rate of epithelial abnormalities by cervical cytology (CC). Method. A total of 8972 conventional pap smear tests collected between August 2010 and August 2012 from Çankırı State Hospital were retrospectiv...

Objective(s): In developing countries and worldwide cervical cancer is an important cause of   female mortality. Reports describing the frequency and pattern of abnormal Pap smears in Saudi Arabia, using the revised Bethesda system (RBS) are very few. The current study was conducted to explore the changing pattern of epithelial cell abnormalities (ECA) detected in Pap smears (PS) in females of ...

Abnormalities of epithelial proliferation have been proposed as an early step in gastrointestinal carcinogenesis. To determine whether micronutrient supplementation may reduce squamous epithelial proliferation in the esophagus, we evaluated proliferation in subjects participating in a randomized nutrition intervention trial in Linxian, China, where esophageal cancer rates are among the highest ...

The airway epithelium of smokers acquires pathological phenotypes, including basal cell (BC) and/or goblet cell hyperplasia, squamous metaplasia, structural and functional abnormalities of ciliated cells, decreased number of secretoglobin (SCGB1A1)-expressing secretory cells, and a disordered junctional barrier. In this study, we hypothesized that smoking alters airway epithelial structure thro...
