Incidence of emphysema at necropsy as assessed by point-counting

Incidence of emphysema at necropsy as assessed by point-counting.

Using these criteria, the overall incidence of emphysema in both sexes was 24%, the incidence in men being 35% and in women 9%. Alveolar emphysema was present in 25% of males and in 3% of females. The corresponding figures for centrilobular emphysema were 6% and 3%. Comparison of the present investigation with other studies suggests that there are geographical differences in the incidence of th...

Necropsy incidence of emphysema in Uganda.

Bone marrow cellularity assessed by point-counting.

A simple method for rapid point-counting of bone marrow biopsies is described; the method gave an accurate assessment of cellularity in 100 aspiration biopsy specimens. Measurements of marrow cellularity by the visual point-counting technique correlated well with those obtained with a Quantimet 720 image-analysing computer.

Incidence of Chronic Peptic Ulcer Found at Necropsy

In this study the frequency of gastric, duodenal, and stomal ulcer has been determined in a survey at necropsy. This survey is likely to be much more accurate than those previously reported, as it has been a "forward planned" one and conducted by a group of men interested in this subject. In retrospective studies it is always impossible to know how carefully a particular point has been checked....

Cervical spondylosis and nerve root lesions. Incidence at routine necropsy.

Cervical spondylosis is a common condition. It is often associated with brachial neuralgia and occasionally it produces spinal cord compression. Although the bony changes may be very obvious on radiographic examination, clinically the disease may not be severe. The real importance of the bony and soft-tissue changes in this condition lies in their effect on adjacent structures. Although the inc...
