What can we envision automating in the anatomic pathology laboratory? The big picture of animation in anatomic pathology is difficult to understand if we compare it to the way that we think about automation in clinical pathology using the typical concepts of pre-analytic, analytic and post-analytic processing. While anatomic pathology can be thought of as having analytic, post analytic as well ...

PURPOSE: To develop a method for direct measurement, using anatomic specimens, of the precision of MR-guided stereotaxic location and to describe its application to a 1.5-T MR unit with a Leksell stereotaxic frame. METHODS: Small pieces of gel foam ( 1 X 1 X 1 mm), soaked in gadopentetate dimeglumine, were stereotaxically introduced into formalin-fixed human heads using a Leksell D (three exper...

Myxofibrosarcoma is a malignant tumor with distinctive histologic features and is believed to be derived from fibroblasts. The function of infiltrating myeloid cells in myxofibrosarcoma is poorly understood. It previously has been shown that a combination of dendritic morphologic features and expression of the C-type lectin, dendritic cell–specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3 grabbing non...

Molecular modeling analysis of charge density and heat of fornation by PM3 method as well as C, H NMR and 2D-NMR measurements of histidine (substrate) and some of its derivatives as histidine decarboxylase inhibitors were performed. It was established that the atom, usually nitrogen, which forms internal aldimine with pyridoxal5 -phosphate (PLP), (coenzyme), has negative and almost equal ...

BACKGROUND When anatomic obstacles preclude radiofrequency catheter ablation of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) originating from the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), an alternative approach from the anatomically opposite side (endocardial versus epicardial or above versus below the aortic valve) may be considered (anatomic ablation). The purpose of this study was to investigate t...

Despite the abundant literature focused on improving medical teaching process, there are still unsolved problems in this area. This research designs and evaluates a learning strategy related to Morphology subject students of medicine at Antonio Nariño University using digital anatomic tables. The present can be considered as mixed designed where perception use Digital Anatomic Tables is analyze...
