INTRODUCTION Clinicopathologic correlation in non-Alzheimer's tauopathies is variable, despite refinement of pathologic diagnostic criteria. In the present study, the clinical and neuroimaging characteristics of globular glial tauopathy (GGT) were examined to determine whether subtyping according to consensus guidelines improves clinicopathologic correlation. METHODS Confirmed GGT cases (n = ...

background: vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) is a signal protein produced by cells that stimulates angiogenesis and increased vascular permeability. the prognostic value of vegf expression in colorectal cancer is unclear as shown by the discordant results still reported in the literature. this study was designed for the evaluation of vegf expression and correlation with clinicopatholog...

Background : High microsatellite instability (MSI-H) colorectal carcinomas (CRCs) with numerous mutations in the microsatellite sequence are characterized by a right-sided preponderance, frequent peritumoral and intratumoral lymphocytic infiltration, and frequent mucin production. However, no study has correlated anatomic site and type of genetic changes with clinicopathologic changes. Methods ...
