Some Stereological Principles in Morphometric Cytology

Practical Stereological Methods for Morphometric Cytology

Stereological principles provide efficient and reliable tools for the determination of quantitative parameters of tissue structure on sections. Some principles which allow the estimation of volumetric ratios, surface areas, surface-to-volume ratios, thicknesses of tissue or cell sheets, and the number of structures are reviewed and presented in general form; means for their practical applicatio...

Stereological and Morphometric Analysis of MRI Chiari Malformation Type-1

OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to investigate the underlying ethiological factors in chiari malformation (CM) type-I (CMI) via performing volumetric and morphometric length-angle measurements. METHODS A total of 66 individuals [33 patients (20-65 years) with CMI and 33 control subjects] were included in this study. In sagittal MR images, tonsillar herniation length and concurrent anomalies...

P-145: Efficacy of Simvasiatin in The Prevention of Doxorubicin-Induced Testicular Morphometric-Stereological Alterations in Mice

Background: Doxorubicin (DOX), a widely used antineoplastic compound, is associated with testicular damage and infertility. In this study, we intended to determine the possible preventive effects of simvastatin (SIM), a lipid lowering agent with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, on testicular morphometric-stereological changes due to DOX treatment in mice. Materials and Methods: Mal...
