OBJECTIVE Analyze whether the most frequent cases of non-dysplastic leukoplakias, hyperkeratosis (H), acanthosis (A), and hyperkeratosis with acanthosis (HA) have similar cell proliferation rates and to compare them with epithelial dysplastic (ED) leukoplakias and normal oral epithelium (NOE). STUDY DESIGN The sample comprised 10 cases of normal oral epithelium, 10 cases of hyperkeratosis, 10...

The story of “dysplastic nevus” dates as far back as 1978 when W.H. Clark and colleagues [1] reported a group of melanocytic lesions with atypical clinical and histological features. Such melanocytic nevi were regarded as precursors of melanoma in patients with multiple nevi and/or family history of melanoma and the term of “dysplastic nevus” soon after entered the diagnostic jargon. The concep...

The aim of this retrospective study was to show the prevalence hip dysplasia (HD) in indigenous dog breed Bosnian and Herzegovinian - Croatian Shepherd Dog (Tornjak) period from 2001 2016. A total 735 radiographs were evaluated according FCI protocol. Statistical analysis performed using Statistica 13.5.0.17. (TIBCO Software Inc.) software. Significant differences between categorical variables ...

Members of two different families were found to have the dysplastic naevus syndrome and coexistent endocrine abnormalities. The dysplastic naevus syndrome is probably inherited as an autosomal dominant trait and has been associated with other primary malignancies. This is the first time that it has been described in association with endocrine abnormalities.

Dysplastic changes in erythroid precursors occur not only in patients with hematologic diseases, but also those with other diseases. Here, we report on a patient that presented with dysplastic changes in erythroid precursors due to lead poisoning from the intake of Chinese folk remedies.

Acetabular redirection osteotomy can be used to relieve pain, improve function, and extend the life of dysplastic hip joints. To understand better the factors that may determine the acetabular reorientation that minimizes pressures, joint contact pressures were calculated by computer assisted methods in 70 dysplastic and 12 normal hips (82 patients). Calculated pressures were consistent with pr...

Dysplasia is an important step in bronchial carcinogenesis and smokers present more dysplastic lesions than nonsmokers. These lesions not always lead to malignancy, so there is a need for additional, preferentially objective, diagnostic markers. To verify whether immunohistochemical overexpression of p53 protein in dysplastic areas could be a predictive marker of the development of lung cancer,...
