luorescence image-guided surgery and repetitive hotodynamic Therapy in brain metastatic malignant elanoma

Reconstruction of nasal sidewall defects after excision of nonmelanoma skin cancer: analysis of uncovered subcutaneous hinge flaps allowed to heal by secondary intention.

OBJECTIVE To describe the experience of a single department using uncovered subcutaneous hinge flaps to repair the nasal portion and adjacent facial subunits of defects after skin tumor excision. DESIGN Case series of 16 patients needing reconstruction for lesions of the alar subunit with 1 or more adjacent facial subunits after Mohs surgery for cutaneous malignant neoplasms. RESULTS All fl...

Automatic Detection and Segmentation of Skin Melanoma Images- An Introduction

elanoma is a cancerous lesion in the pigment-bearing basal layers of the epidermis and is the most deadly form of skin cancer, yet it is also the most treatable, with a cure rate for early-stage melanoma of almost 100%. Therefore, there is a need to develop computer-aided diagnostic systems to facilitate the early detection of melanoma. The first step in these systems is skin lesion segmentatio...

hromatin and Arabidopsis root development

eywords: ell differentiation pidermal cell During development cells transit through different states as they pass from stem cell to terminally differentiated cell. There is evidence that the transition from one state to another can be accompanied by changes in epigenetic state of genes, which is embodied in chromatin state. Here we give an overview of the changes in chromatin that accompany the...

Xanthogranulomatous gastritis: Associatlion with xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis

A case of xanthogranulomatous inflammation of the gastric wall is reported. The lesion was associated with adherent xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis and simulated, clinically, a malignant neoplasm. Histologically, foamy histiocytes, multinucleated giant cells, other inflammatory cells, fibrous reaction with spindle cells and cholesterol clefts were found. (7 Clin Pathol 1993;46:88-90) Xanthogr...
