OBJECTIVES The histopathological diagnosis of Mycosis Fungoides (MF) is challenging in its early stages and can easily be confused with inflammatory dermatoses. This study aims to; (i) assess the frequency and significance of different histopathological parameters in early MF, seen in Saudi patients, and (ii) to study the utility of these parameters in differentiating between early MF and infla...

the toxic impact of copper sulfate in lethal and sublethal concentrations was investigated on gill of grass carp, ctenopharynogodon idella . in this investigation, 27 specimens were used as control group and three treatment groups were treated with 2.5 and 5mg/l of copper sulfate. gill samples were collected from each treatment after 96hr and lesions were analyzed by light microscopy. in histop...

schwannomas are benign neoplasms with unknown etiology, which apparently arise from neural sheath schwann cells. intraoral schwannomas are solitary, slow-growing lesions occurring at different ages; these lesions are normally asymptomatic and in some cases, they are accompanied by pain and paresthesia if spotted in the intraosseous regions of the mandibles. definitive diagnosis of schwannoma is...

conclusions a majority of ovarian masses, especially those diagnosed within a short duration after hysterectomy, are benign. iranian patients with such ovarian masses when asymptomatic and associated with negative tumor markers could be followed up, and prophylactic oophorectomy may not be necessary. results of the 1052 patients with ovarian masses, 45patients (mean age, 53.11 ± 9.56 years) who...

objective(s): some histopathological alterations take place in the ischemic regions following brain ischemia. recent studies have demonstrated some neuroprotective roles of crocin in different models of experimental cerebral ischemia. here, we investigated the probable neuroprotective effects of crocin on the brain infarction and histopathological changes after transient model of focal cerebral...

background: besides of transmitting several diseases to animals, and tick paralysis, ornithodoros lahorensis induce skin lesions. this experiment was done to determine histopathological features of adult o. lahorensis bite on rat. methods: in this investigation adult male rats were infested with o. lahorensis ticks. animals were divided into two groups and euthanized two days and two weeks afte...

Our aim was to evaluate effect of etanercept on oxidative stress parameters in rats with experimental peritonitis and investigate the availability of etanercept usage in the treatment of peritonitis in the future. Twenty-eight rats were divided into four groups as control (group 1), peritonitis (group 2), peritonitis + cefazolin sodium (group 3), and peritonitis + cefazolin sodium + etanercept ...
