different opinions exit in histological typing of bone cysts. epidermoid cysts are very rare as the small numbers of published cases indicate. they arises following preceding trauma exclusively in distal phalanges and skull. the roentgenogram shows a round osteolytic resion with no trabecular pattern. we observed 2 cases of epidermoid cyst of finger in imam khomeini hospital central path depart...

The hyalinizing trabecular neoplasm (HTN) of the thyroid is an unusual and controversial lesion. Some consider it a peculiar type of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) because of its nuclear features and presence of psammoma bodies. Others consider it an adenoma. Molecular studies have found RET/PTC translocations in some examples, supporting HTN as a PTC; however mutations in BRAF (another mark...

The most common approach to the study of the structural changes with age in the proximal femur is by means of the Singh index. However, subjectivity of its grades determination may limit its practical value. In this paper, we used several texture analysis techniques to characterize the trabecular pattern changes in proximal femur recorded in radiographs that lead to osteoporosis detection. Text...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between bone tissue stiffness and degree of mineralization distribution and to examine possible changes during prenatal development. Understanding this may provide insight into adaptation processes and into deformation mechanisms of the bone microstructure. Mandibular condyles from four fetal and newborn pigs were used. Tissue stiffness ...

A diode laser, which emitted infrared radiation at a wavelength of 810 nm, was used to perform trabecular photocoagulation in a human eye due for enucleation for malignant melanoma. For comparison, burns were applied with an argon blue-green laser (488-514.5 nm). With each laser, the treatment spot size was 100 nm and the pulse duration was 0.20 sec. Visible lesions were produced with a power o...

For comparison, burns were applied with an argon blue-green laser (488-514.5 nm). With each laser, the treatment spot size was 100 microns and the pulse duration was 0.20 sec. Visible lesions were produced with a po...

We compared the performance of uncemented trabecular metal tibial components in total knee replacement with that of cemented tibial components in patients younger than 60 years over two years using radiostereophotogrammetric analysis (RSA). A total of 22 consecutive patients (mean age 53 years, 33 to 59, 26 knees) received an uncemented NexGen trabecular metal cruciate-retaining monobloc tibial...

Astragalus extract mixture HT042 is a standardized multiherbal mixture comprising Astragalus membranaceus, Eleutherococcus senticosus, and Phlomis umbrosa, which has proven to promote children's height growth. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of HT042 on longitudinal bone growth, bone mass, and bone microstructure in growing rats using a high-resolution microcomputed tomogra...

Human corneoscleral explants were maintained for several weeks in defined, serum-free media. Trabecular cell vitality, as judged by vital stain exclusion, is high for at least one month. Trabecular ultrastructure, as compared to that of fresh eyes, first shows minor cellular and extracellular matrix degradation after 3 weeks in culture. The biosynthetic profiles of trabecular glycosaminoglycans...
