Whole mount sections of the prostate are widely used in many laboratories. Macrocryosections of the gland; that is, whole mount frozen sections of the prostate from radical prostatectomies represent a useful new research protocol. The technique is very simple and does not require expensive equipment. (J Clin Pathol 2001;54:236–237)

Refrigerated display cases are now commonplace in food stores in order to display products in an attractive manner to the customer. An increasing variety of chilled and frozen foods has also added to the demand for more chilled display area but despite this, most modifications to the way supennarket refrigeration systems are designed has come on the high pressure side with little or no regard f...

Introduction In the pathology field, digital slide conferencing capabilities are obviously a highly necessary functionality when multiple participants need to simultaneously view the same digital slide from multiple, remote locations e.g. for frozen section teleconsultation, second opinion on complex cases or e-learning. In this presentation we present an expertise approach that uses teleconsul...

Background: Freezing is a common and ancient method for preservation of foods which is applicable both under household and industrial conditions. The objective of the study was to establish histological and microbiological changes in dorsal and abdominal muscles of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) after freezing once and twice. Methods: Forty-five fresh rainbow trout specimens were distribu...

Ultrathin frozen sections of biological tissues for electron microscopy provide certain advantages in cytochemical studies in which the penetration of cells by large molecules is necessary and in morphological studies of cellular constituents which are dissolved by the reagents employed in routine plastic embedding . The recent introduction of several types of commercially available cryo-ultram...

Bread quality index was established using the instrumental analysis of bread parameters 12 that influence the consumers’ acceptability. The instrumental methods that describe 13 bread appearance, structure and texture have been chosen in order to enable the 14 identification and quantification of main discrepancies of wheat bread produced by 15 different processes such as fully baked frozen bre...

The aim of this study was to explore the effects of S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) on the aggregation of frozen platelets, the platelet nitric oxide (NO) content and the expression of membrane glycoproteins. The level of frozen platelet aggregation was measured using a platelet aggregation analyzer, while the content of NO was measured by the nitrate reductase method and the expression of frozen p...
