1. We report a flow cytometric method in which changes in forward angle light scatter are shown to correlate with microscopically evaluated shape change in stimulated human neutrophils. Neutrophil movement and chemotaxis is conventionally measured using Boyden chambers, which is a laborious and exacting technique. Microscopic scoring of neutrophil shape change has been shown to correlate well w...

muscle biopsy has been used for a long time for diagnosis of muscular, nerurogenic and systemic disorders with muscle involvement, because only very few of these disorders show sufficient specific clinical features for definite diagnosis. since the presence of difficulties in the screening of numerous genes, muscle biopsy could be a time and cost effective procedure for solving the diagnostic p...

In order to implement meaningful microscopic traffic simulations, a sophisticated calculation of the vehicle routes is essential. In this paper, different route calculation approaches for microscopic traffic simulators are analysed and compared. Various simulations are performed to detect traffic distribution and traffic flow resulting from the used route calculation approaches. To have simulat...

Urinalysis is useful in diagnosing systemic and genitourinary conditions. In patients with suspected microscopic hematuria, urine dipstick testing may suggest the presence of blood, but results should be confirmed with a microscopic examination. In the absence of obvious causes, the evaluation of microscopic hematuria should include renal function testing, urinary tract imaging, and cystoscopy....

Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is an uncommon histiocytic cutaneous lesion. It is a type of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis(WHO Class IIb). The mean age of onset is 2 years of age. The adult form of JXG is relatively rare. The most common affectedarea is the face or the scalp and most of the lesions are less than 5 mm in diameter. This lesion tends to show a self-limited course over several m...

SUMMARY This paper speaks about a 63 year old woman with chronic non-specific pain in superior abdominal region and progressive cachexia. Clinical and paraclinical investigations revealed a large non­homogen mass of right liver lobe. After surgical approach 90% of right liver lobe was involved by a solid mass with necrotic areas. Microscopic evaluation disclosed a chronic granulomatous inflamm...

leishmaniasis include several clinical manifestations, mostly cutaneous, visceral and mucosal (1, 2). various species can lead to diverse clinical presentations. thus species identification contribute to proper management (3). localized leishmania lymphadenitis (lll) is a distinct entity in clinicopathologic field presenting with isolated lymphadenitis and possible cocomitant cutaneous lesion i...

gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma is a rare tumor which has a poor prognosis. herein, we present a 55-year-old woman who presented with complaints of recurrent vomiting, hematemesis and weight loss. endoscopic examination showed a large ulcerated mass in the antrum. microscopic evaluation of the specimen taken through biopsy was compatible with a small round cell tumor. however, definitive histo...
