Introduction: Primary tuberculosis (TB) of the oropharynx and nasopharynx is an extremely rare form of extra-pulmonary TB in children. Primary tuberculosis occurs more likely secondary to pulmonary TB and is more common in immunocompromised patients.   Case Report: We reported the case of a young male presented with the symptoms of non-specific chronic adenotonsillitis, ...

The chemokine CXCL12 is highly expressed in gynecologic tumors and is widely known to play a biologically relevant role in tumor growth and spread. Recent evidence suggests that CXCL16, a novel chemokine, is overexpressed in inflammation-associated tumors and mediates pro-tumorigenic effects of inflammation in prostate cancer. We therefore analyzed the expression of CXCL12 and CXCL16 and their ...

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are expressed in immune and tumor cells and recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns. Cervical cancer (CC) is directly linked to a persistent infection with high risk human papillomaviruses (HR-HPVs) and could be associated with alteration of TLRs expression. TLR9 plays a key role in the recognition of DNA viruses and better understanding of this signaling pat...

Endometrial carcinoma is the most prevalent gynecologic cancer in industrialized countries and second common developing after cervical cancer; it fourth commonly diagnosed cancer. The purpose of this study to evaluate immunohistochemistry expression oestrogen receptor (ER) Her-2/neu Sudanese patients with endometrial (EMC). A retrospective descriptive archival formalin-fixed paraffin-embed...

For preoperative planning and intraoperative support, segmentation of soft tissue structures from the cervical region is a prerequisite. Main activities have been started in the past to segment vertebrae from CT images. But soft tissue structures have been neglected. There is only little research work about segmentation of the spinal chord and the trachea, however as far as we know there is no ...

Non-carious cervical lesion (NCCL) is the loss of hard dental tissue commonly observed at the buccal and labial tooth surfaces at the cementoenamel junction (CEJ). Most NCCLs of teeth can be classified into four categories: attrition, erosion, abrasion, and stress-induced cervical lesion. Stress-induced cervical lesions are loss of tooth structure that results from repeated tooth flexure caused...

Most models of light propagation through tissue assume the scattering properties of the various tissue layers are the same. The authors present evidence that the scattering coefficient of normal cervical epithelium is significantly lower than values previously reported for bulk epithelial tissue. They estimated the scattering coefficient of normal and precancerous cervical epithelium using meas...

Labor is a physiological event involving a sequential, integrated set of changes within the myometrium, deciduas, and uterine cervix that occur gradually over a period of days to weeks. Biochemical connective tissue changes in the uterine cervix appear to precede uterine contractions and cervical dilation, and all of these events usually occur before rupture of the fetal membranes. In other wor...
