The extent of elastosis in the stroma within the anatomical "tumour" in 80 patients with breast carcinoma was assessed by observational microscopy using a 4-point grading system, and measured by semiautomated histometry as an area percentage with a Quantimet 720 image-analysing computer. In this retrospective study, measurement of elastosis in tissue removed at time of initial diagnosis was sho...

Automatic cell segmentation has various application potentials in cytometry and histometry. In this paper, an automatic cluster (touching) cell segmentation approach using the dominant contour feature points has been presented. Dominant feature points are the locations of indentation on the contour of the cluster. First, dominant feature points on the contour of the cluster are detected by dist...

Histometric measurements were made on individual nodules and the internodular thyroid on glands from 15 patients without evidence of endocrine thyroid disease: some of the thyroids had multiple nodules. Measurements of the surviving internodular thyroid tissue showed that the various components were each within the normal range for thyroids from patients with no evidence of thyroid disease, but...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of propranolol on capsular architecture around silicone implants by measuring the inflammation, capsular thickness, and collagen fiber density, using a guinea pig experimental model. METHODS Thirty six adult male guinea pigs randomly divided into two groups (n=18) were used. Each one received a silicone implant with textured-surface. The capsular tissue around i...

Testes and epididymides were obtained from three pubertial Muturu bulls aged 11 months 12 post pubertal between 13 17 weighed 91 148kg. Samples of each testis epididymal segments namely, caput, corpus cauda, processed for histology while samples gonadal extragonadal sperm reserves using the homogenisation technique. Paired testes weight increased 78.99+8.74g at 11months age to 90.10+10.86g. 110...

Abstract Introduction In 2004, Bornstein reported using immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis of stained sections vestibular specimens, defining diagnostic criteria for neuroproliferative vestibulodynia (NPV). Criteria included presence 8 or more mast cells manually counted in a standardized microscopic field finding total area subepithelial nerve fibers was 10 times higher than controls. Replicat...

The objective of this study was to evaluate performance, gastrointestinal morphometry, carcass, and non-carcass traits in lambs finished on different levels canola grain the diet. Twenty-seven Santa Ines with an average initial weight 19.33 ± 1.39 kg were given diet: 0, 8, 16%. Weights body condition scores determined at beginning, every 14 days end experimental period. Animals slaughtered asse...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The experimental induction of histologic transformations in microvessels of similar caliber to those of nidus vessels of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) has not been attempted previously. Our goal was to examine preliminarily the histopathologic characteristics of nidus vessels and the angiographic features of a chronic AVM model in swine. METHODS AVM models...
