CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Cervical cancer is a serious public health problem in Brazil. For patients with unsatisfactory colposcopic examinations without visible lesions, but with cervical cytological tests suggesting high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), the national recommendation is to repeat cervical cytological tests after three months. Our aim was to assess the prevalence of HSIL...

PURPOSE verify the cytological and histological aspects of the regeneration of fragments of autologous and heterotopic spleen implanted in peritoneal cavity and subcutaneous screen in Wistar albino rats. METHODS forty four Wistar rats were assigned to one of two groups A (n=22) and B (n=22), which received their implants in subcutaneous screen and peritoneal cavity, respectively, under anesth...

Pilomatricoma is a commonly misdiagnosed, rare, benign skin tumor of the hair follicle matrix. Difficulties persist in the clinical and cytological diagnosis of this lesion inspite of vast increase in the understanding of this entity since 1880. This study was undertaken to improve the preoperative diagnosis of pilomatricoma by analyzing the clinical features and cytological features wherever a...

soil affected by salt (nacl) is a major problem worldwide and in areas with potential agriculture; lands in many countries are not enough to support crop production. the development of salt tolerant cultivars would be enhanced by better understanding of the genetic control of tolerance to salt stress. a new cereal, tritipyrum, a range of amphiploids between triticum spp. and thinopyrum spp....

BACKGROUND It is difficult to correctly diagnose follicular neoplasms (FNs) on fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) because it shares many cytological features with other mimicking lesions. The aim of this study was to identify the cytological features that differentiate FNs from mimicking lesions. METHODS We included the cytological slides from 116 cases of thyroid FN diagnosed on FNAC, an...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the diagnostic usefulness of the cytological study of the transport buffer in the diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma in transrectal core biopsies. METHODS A total of 256 consecutively biopsied patients have been included in the analysis, 100 of them diagnosed of prostate adenocarcinoma. The procedure included the cytological analysis of the transport buffer and conven...

BACKGROUND Adolescent women are a special age group affected by human papilloma virus (HPV). Most guidelines recommend surgical treatment for high-grade cytological lesions. However, some reports have attempted to demonstrate that the immune system is fully capable of clearing the virus without using conization. Our aim in this study was to describe the outcome of women <25 years old with high-...

The genus Narcissus belongs to the family Amaryllidaceae. This has been subject of numerous cytological and cytometric studies have shown enormous variation in terms genome size, ploidy level, even basic chromosome number. numbers are 5 or 7, but 10, 11, 12 recorded as well. Most narcissus cultivars euploid tetraploids. There also triploids. Some aneuploid such tetraploids triploids, with missi...

Abstract Synthetic fertilizers are widely employed in agriculture relative to biofertilizers. Long-term use affects soil fertility, plant vigor, human and livestock health, the microbial community. Seaweeds were as biofertilizers sustainable overcome this issue boost agricultural productivity. Therefore, current study investigates effect of wheat seeds priming with aqueous extracts Ulva linza o...

The differential diagnosis between malignancy-related ascites (MRAs) and nonmalignant ascites (NMAs) has remained an essential problem in clinical practice. Our purpose was to determine the diagnostic value of ascitic fluid telomerase activity in discriminating these two categories compared with that of cytological examination. Twenty-five MRAs and 47 NMAs as the control group were enrolled in ...
