background many studies have reported an association between periodontal infections and some systemic diseases such as respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. some studies found a direct association between chronic gastritis caused by helicobacter pylori (hp) infection and poor periodontal health. methods in a cross-sectional study from november 2014 to december 2015 in kerman, the largest pro...

spermatic cord liposarcomas are very rare tumors. patients usually present with painless growing scrotal swellings which are clinically misdiagnosed as hernia. the correct diagnosis is not common and usually they present as operative or histological surprises. to our knowledge, there are about 186 similar cases reported in the literature. herein we report three cases of spermatic cord liposarco...

Context: It is known that a Message Sequence Chart (MSC) specification can contain different types of pathology. However, definitions of different types of pathology and the problems caused by pathologies are unclear, let alone the relationships between them. In this circumstance, it can be problematic for software engineers to accurately predict the possible problems that may exist in implemen...

Although there are a few national schemes for accreditation/certification of toxicologic pathologists (e.g., in Japan and the United Kingdom), a global recognition system for bench toxicologic pathologists is missing, as are universal standards defining their core competencies. This paper summarizes basic means regarding how proficiency in toxicologic pathology is acquired, provides an overview...

BACKGROUND Retroperitoneal sarcoma is rare. Using initial specimens on biopsy, a definitive diagnosis of histological subtypes is ideal but not always achievable. METHODS A retrospective institutional review was performed for all cases of adult retroperitoneal sarcoma from 1996 to 2015. A review of the literature was also performed related to the distribution of retroperitoneal sarcoma subtyp...

Soft tissue tumors are generally defined as tumors of connective tissues, including nonosseous sarcomas, benign mesenchymal tumors, and tumor-like proliferations. These tumors are usually considered to include non-osseous tumors of the extremities, trunk wall, intraabdominal and intrathoracic space, and head and neck, although definitions vary. Generally excluded from this definition are nonmes...

BACKGROUND Students in biomedical disciplines require understanding of normal and abnormal microscopic appearances of human tissues (histology and histopathology). For this purpose, practical classes in these disciplines typically use virtual microscopy, viewing digitised whole slide images in web browsers. To enhance engagement, tools have been developed to enable individual or collaborative a...

T he physiologic approach to the clinical problem of airway obstruction is too often limited to laboratory measurements made on one or a few occasions, on an individual patient or upon a group of patients. The observations are then summarized by the unwary physician by labels, which have the implication of well recognized lung pathology, but for which in the individual in whom they are applied ...
