Utilization of genistein as a natural inhibitor was studied alone and in combination with conventional treatments on melanosis and microbial quality of fresh L. vannamei during 10 days ice storage. Treatments were as followed: A (dipping samples in distilled water), B (dipping in 1.25 % sodium metabisulphite solution), C (dipping in 0.01 % genistein + 2% glycerol solution), D (dipping in 0.1 % ...

Adrenocortical tumour have been described in patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency. These tumours are usually considered to be ACTH – dependent, as diffuse adrenal cortical hyperplasia is commonly seen. We report adrenal cortical tissue tumours developed in three patients with untreated congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency. All of them had symptoms of adrenogenital ...

In addition to the depiction of anatomy and function, tissue characterization of the myocardium has emerged as an important asset of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Among the tissue properties that are quantifiable by CMR is diffuse myocardial fibrosis. Diffuse fibrosis is regarded to be the common pathological pathway toward loss of myocardial function in many cardiac conditions, including c...

A 77-year-old woman consulted an ophthalmologist because her left eye had “turned black” during the last 6 to 9 months. In addition, she felt that her eye was “sinking in the orbit.” Visual acuity was reduced to 20/30. The right eye was normal with 20/20 vision. The nasal, temporal, and especially, the upper conjunctiva (Fig 1A) of her left eye contained literally myriad dark brown pigment depo...

Melanosis is a major problem associated with the quality loss of Pacific white shrimp. This is mediated by polyphenoloxidase (PPO), in which biochemical and molecular properties can be varied with species, molting period, etc. The better understanding of PPO characteristics should pave a way for lowering melanosis, thereby extending the shelf life of Pacific white shrimp during handling and sto...

BACKGROUND The spectrum of central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities described in association with congenital melanocytic naevi (CMN) includes congenital, acquired, melanotic and nonmelanotic pathology. Historically, symptomatic CNS abnormalities were considered to carry a poor prognosis, although studies from large centres have suggested a much wider variation in outcome. OBJECTIVES To esta...
