The value of two different systems for the prognostic assessment of breast cancer has been tested by comparing a group of 74 long-term survivors with a group of 54 short-term survivors. The system devised by Bloom and Richardson (1957) gave a good general correlation with prognosis. Appearances described by Harveit (1971) showed some correlation with prognosis but were rarely seen in our cases....

Castleman's disease (CD) is a rare lympho-proliferative disorder due to faulty immune regulation resulting in proliferation of lymphatic tissue. The vascular supply to these lesions have been reported to arise from the bronchial, internal mammary and the intercostal arteries. We report a case of hemoptysis secondary to intrathoracic CD with vascular supply arising from the left inferior phrenic...

The mediastinal, lympho-epithelial organ was termed thymus to denote a ductless, gland-like body which has the appearance of a "warty excrescence" (Greek, thymos). Early investigators had ascribed a functional role to this gland including the production of humoral factors which modulated cell growth, maturation and exerted influence on the process of mineralization. Investigators of the past de...

disorders are more susceptible to repeated infections than would normally be expected (1, 10, 15). The factors responsible for this increased susceptibility have not, however, been completely elucidated. Alterations in both the humoral and cellular defenses of the host have been considered as at least contributing to this increased susceptibility. For example, the low †̃y-globulinlevels found ...

background and objective: rosacea is a common and ill-defined disease and demodex folliculorum has been reported in rosacea in a number of clinical studies. since demodex mite is present in many healthy individuals, the mite may have a pathogenic role only when it is present in high densities. therefore, in this study, the possible role of demodex folliculorum and the importance of mite density...

We report a patient with erythematous firm papules and nodules over palms. Histological examination, which identified epidermis showed marked hyperkeratosis and dermis with perivascular lympho-histiocytic infiltrate which also extended in between the collagen bundles with occasional multinucleated giant cells and mucin deposition. This established the diagnosis of Granuloma Annulare (GA). This ...

Background: The present study was conducted for assessing Fascin expression in breast cancer patients. Materials & methods: A total of 50 patients diagnosed histopathologically with were enrolled. Complete demographic details all the subjects recorded. Clinical and radiographic examination done. Blood samples obtained from biochemical along haematological profile assessed. Lymph node status...

The nasopharyngeal tonsil, or adenoid, is a lympho epithelial organ situated in a critical anatomical position i.e., the roof and posterior wall of nasopharynx. The adenoid is closely related to nasopharyngeal orifice of the Eustachian tube and paranasal sinuses ostia, particularly the ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses. The adenoid being a component of Waldeyer ring possesses particular immunologica...
