This was a retrospective study carried out on all hysterectomy specimens sent to Department of Pathology of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal from 1st September 2005 to 28th February 2006, to study the histopathological findings of these specimens. All informations used in the study were obtained from the records of Department of Pathology of the hospital. Out of 221 hyst...

Documentation of the species recorded in biodiversity and inventory projects frequently involves preparation of voucher specimens, which are extremely important for the credibility of such studies (see Chapter 5). In addition, these specimens and their accompanying field notes are valuable sources of scientific information used in systematic, biogeographic, evolutionary, and ecological studies....

Introduction: Plastination is a unique technique for preservation of biological specimens used for teaching purposes. The protocol of flexible sheet plastination includes fixation, slicing, dehydration, force impregnation, casting, and curing (Hajian, Rabiei, Fatollahpour & Esfandiary, 2008). The procedure is done by using P87 flexible unsaturated polyester resin and provides heavy, gross, frag...

bstract. Confocal microscopy is an excellent tool to ain structural information from deep within a biological ample. The depth from which information can be exracted as well as the resolution of the detection system re limited by spherical aberrations in the laser pathway. hese spherical aberrations of the visible light can be efciently canceled by optimizing the refractive index of the mmersio...

in this paper, the effect of cyclic loading on punching strength of flat slabs strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (cfrp) sheets is studied. experimental results of ten slab specimens under monotonic and cyclic loading are analyzed. eight specimens were strengthened with cfrp sheets on the tensile face of the slabs and the two other specimens were kept un-strengthened as control s...

The pathological examination of parathyroid glands is an essential component of the evaluation of hyperparathyroidism. Traditionally, this has involved intraoperative frozen sections during bilateral surgical exploration of the neck, to confirm removal of parathyroid tissue. With recent developments in imaging, some diseased glands can be localised preoperatively, enabling removal by minimally ...

CONTEXT Skin cancers are the most common malignancies in this country. Treatment of these tumors often involves assessment of margins, which may be performed by frozen section. OBJECTIVE This article discusses indications for frozen section, various approaches to gross examination of specimens, Mohs micrographic surgery, diagnostic pitfalls, methods to improve diagnostic accuracy, and special...
