The synovium from 11 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, who were undergoing joint surgery, was assessed using histological and morphometric techniques. Histological examination confirmed previous reports that the intensity of the cellular reaction varied throughout the synovium, and the morphometric method reflected this variability sensitively. The method was shown to be reproducible and allo...

Experiments utilizing chromosome marker and histological techniques in combination with parabiosis and transplanatation procedures have demonstrated an inflow of blood-home stem cells into the chick embryo thymic rudiment. There is close similarity between the histological picture in the chick and in the mouse thymic rudiment, and it is proposed that a similar developmental process takes place ...

objective: the aim of the present study was to compare the performance of laser fluorescence (lf) method with other conventional diagnostic techniques in detection of small occlusal caries in permanent teeth. materials and methods: prior to this in vitro diagnostic study, a pilot study assessed intra- examiner reliability and reproducibility. the occlusal surfaces of 90 extracted human premolar...

As with so many studies requiring close clinicopathological correlation and specialised techniques, many of the major contributions to peripheral nevre pathology have been made by clinicians rather than pathologists. As a result, the general pathologist has tended to ignore many of the recent advances in peripheral nerve pathology and trainees in pathology often fail to appreciate that with rel...

Background Extracellular matrix expansion is fundamental to left ventricular (LV) remodeling, and is a therapeutic target. CMR techniques are increasingly used to evaluate myocardial extracellular volume (ECV), however the most widely applied methods are without histological validation. The aim of this study was to provide whole-heart, histological validation of; 1. Dynamic-equilibrium CMR (Dyn...

Nowadays, the consumption of meat and meat products has been increased with modern manufacturing techniques. Due to the economic value, the likelihood of using unauthorized tissue is possible in meat products. The aim of this study was to apply morphological methods for detection of unauthorized tissues in meat sausage. In this study, a total number of 20 samples of different types of sausages ...

In order to conduct this study, eight adult turkey heads were obtained. Pituitary glands were harvested following cranial bones removal and examined morphologically and anatomically as well as topographically. Then, tissue sections were prepared and stained using Hematoxylin and Eosin, Alcian blue, orange G and periodic acid-Schiff staining techniques. The results showed that turkey pituitary g...

In pregnant mothers maternal diabetes happens when the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin, soblood glucose increases in the mother and then in the fetus, resulting in several injuries in neonates. Thisstudy was conducted to evaluate the effects of maternal diabetes on fetal cerebrum. Sixteen adult female rats were divided in two equal groups. Diabetes was induced in one group by alloxan. Bo...
