OBJECTIVE Serous papillary carcinomas of the endometrium are aggressive tumors that tend to permeate, in a very extensive fashion, to uterine and adnexal lymphatic and vascular channels at an early stage in their evolution, and are associated with a particularly gloomy prognosis. It is generally thought that even tumors apparently limited to the endometrium or confined to an endometrial polyp h...

The serous acini of airway submucosal glands are important for fluid secretion in the lung. Serous cells are also sites of expression of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl(-) channel. However, the mechanisms of serous cell fluid secretion remain poorly defined. In this study, serous acinar cells were isolated from porcine bronchi and studied using optical techniqu...

INTRODUCTION Systemic high blood pressure is related to a variety of retinal manifestations. We present an atypical case of hypertensive chorioretinopathy with massive bilateral serous retinal detachment. CASE REPORT A 26-year-old male with a genitourinary malformation and secondary grade IV chronic kidney failure as well as high blood pressure complained of acute vision loss. Dilated fundus ...

Serous psammocarcinoma is a rare variant of serous carcinoma arising from either ovary or peritoneum, characterized by massive psammoma body formation, low grade cytologic features, and invasiveness. Its clinical behavior is similar to serous borderline tumors with relatively favorable prognosis. We report herein a case of a 60-year-old postmenopausal woman who presented with abdominal distensi...

We report a 38-year-old man with a complaint of blurred vision in his right eye for the previous 5 days. He had bilateral optic disc drusen. Fluorescein angiography revealed multiple hyperfluorescent foci within temporal optic discs and temporal inferior arcade in late phase. Optical coherence tomography showed bilateral peripapillary serous detachment as well as right macular detachment. This ...

The distribution of lactoferrin and glycoprotein in human bronchial glands has been studied by electron microscopy using an immunoperoxidase method to stain the former and a periodic acid-chromic acid-silver methenamine sequence for the latter, each applied to ultrathin Epon sections. The distribution of lactoferrin corresponds to that of lysozyme. Lactoferrin and lysozyme are both confined to ...

BACKGROUND Exogenous and endogenous steroids have been implicated in the pathogenesis of central serous choroioretinopathy in the literature. Central serous choroioretinopathy presents as sudden reduction in visual acuity. CASE PRESENTATION Despite the fact that steroid injections are so commonly used in the Orthopaedics there is no information regarding central serous chorioretinopathy in Or...

Serous cystadenoma is a common benign neoplasm that can be managed without surgery in asymptomatic patients provided that the diagnosis is certain. We describe a patient, whose pancreatic cyst exhibited a radiological appearance distinct from that of typical serous cystadenoma, resulting in diagnostic difficulties. CT and MRI showed a 10 cm-polycystic tumor with upstream dilatation of the main ...

Incorporation of [nH]threonine and [3H]glucose by the mucous and serous cells of the human bronchial submucosal gland has been studied over 8 h using, for the first time, in vitro pulse labeling and electron microscope autoradiography. In assessing the autoradiographs, two methods were compared, the circle analysis and the recently described hypothetical grain analysis. Preliminary studies show...

Fig. 1 – Progressive reduction of macular serous detachment after treatment with subthreshold laser on the active extra foveal leak point. Fluorescein angiography in left eye in early stage (A) and in late stage (B) illustrating fluorescein extravasation in superior/nasal focal point, the origin of the subretinal fluid which causes neuroepithelium serous detachment with macular involvement (D) ...
