UNLABELLED Frozen section examination is aimed at making a preoperative diagnosis, determining the benign or malignant nature of a breast lesion, but also the most suitable surgical procedure. The sensitivity and specificity of this method and the causes of discrepancies were analyzed in a retrospective study of 2 177 breast lesions. METHOD 1,150 frozen sections from 2,177 breast lesions were...

freezing causes changes on chemical and microbial quality of butter. in this research, effects of two different temperatures -9 and -18oc on changes of moisture, fat, acidity and peroxide value and also coliform and psychrotrophic microorganisms in frozen butter were studied. results showed that values of moisture and fat during 7 months of frozen storage at two temperatures decreased 1.8% and ...

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of freezing and frozen storage at -24 degrees C on the quality of Icelandic herring fillets, focusing on protein solubility and viscosity at pH 2.7 and 11 used for pH-aided protein isolation. The evaluation of quality was based on chemical analyses, protein degradation measurements, and changes in protein solubility and viscosity at pH 2.7 and 11...

Purpose This study examined the effectiveness of manipulation under ultrasound-guided brachial plexus block in patients with recalcitrant idiopathic frozen shoulder and diabetic secondary frozen shoulder (diabetic frozen shoulder). Methods Forty-four idiopathic frozen shoulders and 10 diabetic frozen shoulders with failed conservative treatment for at least 3 months were included in this stud...

This study was done to evaluate the quality parameters of fresh and imported frozen seafood (fillets and shrimp). A total of 120 seafood samples, fillets and shrimp (fresh and imported frozen) 30 each, collected from fish markets at Giza Governorate were sensory, bacteriological, chemical investigated. Panelists rejected 5.0 (16.6%) and 0.0 (0.0%) of fresh fillets and shrimp samples, while the ...

Objective of our study was to define a diagnostic-therapeutic pathway for proper treatment of not-palpable testicular masses, that may be benign in 38% of cases. Since the intraoperative diagnosis is difficult to reach in particular in small lesion (< 8 mm) and the risk of tissue loss in frozen section analysis occurs frequently, we propose a diagnostic flow chart for the best management of ...

BACKGROUND Frozen shoulder has always been considered important because of the impact on the quality-of-life and long period of illness. Therefore, the use of noninvasive and safe techniques that can speed up the healing process of the disease is important. METHODS This study was a randomized clinical trial study on patients suffering from frozen shoulder who were referred to Isfahan Universi...

Farrowing rate and number of pigs born alive were compared after use of either frozen semen or combined fresh and frozen semen matings in nulliparous gilts. Estrus was synchronized using Altrenogest (AT: Regu-Mate® Solution, Hoescht Roussel Vet, Warren, New Jersey) and detected with a mature boar. The farrowing rate was 74% for females inseminated with frozen semen, and 88% for females insemina...

 Background: Frozen shoulder is resulting in limb disability and reduction of quality of life but the factors associated with patients’ disability and quality of life is not clear. To assess pain, disability, the quality of life and factors associated with them in patients suffering from frozen shoulder.  Methods: We enrolled 120 patients (37 men and 83 women) with phase-II idiopathic frozen sh...

Primary tumor organoids grown in three-dimensional culture provide an excellent platform for studying tumor progression, invasion, and drug response. However, organoid generation protocols require fresh tumor tissue, which limits organoid research and clinical use. This study investigates cellular morphology, viability, and drug response of organoids derived from frozen tissues. The results dem...
