SIRS (systemic inflammatory response syndrome) may result from a wide variety of non-infective insults. Surgery is a recognized cause of SIRS, the onset of which can have adverse prognostic significance. Neutrophil activation is a key histopathological feature of SIRS, and neutrophil clearance through programmed cell death or apoptosis is an essential step in its resolution. Increasingly, it is...

Purpose: To investigate the role of interferon regulatory factor 2 binding protein (IRF2BP2) in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

This retrospective study refers to the evolution rate of cervical lesions diagnosed from cervical biopsies, respectively the endocervical scrape collected from 2001 to 2008 and found its place as an introduction to a further complex study. In this period of 8 years, in our laboratory were processed a total of 1387 biopsies and endocervical scrape. All histopathological diagnoses can be classifi...

Recent histopathology studies suggest the presence of meningeal inflammation in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) that might be associated with subpial cortical demyelination and a rather worse disease course.1 Although a radiologist is not a pathologist, diagnostic neuroradiology aims to visualize and to detect almost every (subtle) pathological feature of a disease to its full extent. To ...

Background Stomach is a common site for wide variety of lesions. The visualisation of the site with biopsy leads to the early detection of the pathologic process and appropriate therapy. Objectives The objective of this study is to correlate the histopathological pattern of endoscopic biopsies with distribution of gastric lesions according to age and sex. Method The retrospective study was carr...

A case is presented of Churg-Strauss syndrome in a young man in whom the definitive diagnostic procedure was a full thickness sigmoidoscopic rectal biopsy, with submucosal sampling. Gastrointestinal changes in Churg-Strauss syndrome, a rare systemic illness characterised by asthma, blood and tissue eosinophilia, vasculitis, and granulomatous inflammation are common but poorly reported. The endo...
