Hyalinizing trabecular adenoma (HTA) of the thyroid, characterized by the presence of a trabecular-alveolar growth pattern and marked intratrabecular hyalinization, was initially described 100 years ago. In 1987, Carney et al. introduced the term HTA to describe this rare tumor of the thyroid composed of polygonal, oval, and spindle cells arranged in a trabecular pattern and separated by a hyal...

Postmenopausal women with vertebral fractures have abnormal bone microarchitecture at the distal radius and tibia by HR-pQCT, independent of areal BMD. However, whether trabecular plate and rod microarchitecture is altered in women with vertebral fractures is unknown. This study aims to characterize the abnormalities of trabecular plate and rod microarchitecture, cortex, and bone stiffness in p...

Micro-computed tomography (μCT) is currently the gold standard for determining trabecular bone microstructure in small animal models. Numerous parameters associated with scanning and evaluation of μCT scans can strongly affect morphologic results obtained from bone samples. However, the effect of these parameters on specific trabecular bone outcomes is not well understood. This study investigat...

A 7 cm diameter presacral tumour, not related to the intrapelvic organs, was found in a 51 year old woman. The needle biopsy showed a poorly differentiated large cell carcinoma. The patient died of urosepsis after chemotherapy. Postmortem examination revealed no other primary or metastatic tumour. Histological examination of the presacral tumour showed a large cell carcinoma with a trabecular p...

Univentricular heart of left ventricular type is defined as the condition in which the entirety of atrial inputs is committed to a main chamber exhibiting trabecular pattern of left ventricular type, usually in the presence of another chamber in the ventricular mass which has a right ventricular trabecular pattern. This condition can occur with two atrioventricular valves, a common atrioventric...

statement of problem: placement of mini-dental implants when single-tooth restorations are needed and the space is not sufficient to insert a standard diameter implant is indicated. there are many different mini-implant brands with various materials and surface characteristics; however, there are just few studies comparing them with each other. objectives: in this study, finite element analysis...

The structural integrity of trabecular bone is an important factor characterizing the biomechanical strength of the vertebra, and is determined by the connectivity of the bone network and the trabeculation pattern. These can be assessed using texture measures such as the fractal signature and lacunarity from a high resolution projection radiograph. Using central sections of lumbar vertebrae we ...

INTRODUCTION Intraoperative observation of ocular structures using microscope-integrated optical coherence tomography (iOCT) has been adopted recently. I report my initial feasibility assessment of iOCT for the incised trabecular meshwork observation during microhook ab interno trabeculotomy. CASE SERIES Both the nasal and temporal sides or either side of the trabecular meshwork/inner wall of...
