BACKGROUND Interest in Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) has recently increased in part due to a growing awareness of the differences between squamous and glandular disease. The pathophysiology and epidemiology of squamous and glandular disease are different and recently it has been shown that the response of glandular gastric ulceration to monotherapy with omeprazole is poor. Given these di...

A 38-year-old man, originally from Moldavia, presented at our Emergency Department with edema of the penis, paraphimosis with necrosis of the phimotic ring, glandular ulcer and multinodular hard semimoble penile masses associated with multiple sites of penile and glandular injection (Figs. 1 and 2). The patient reported having undergone penile subcutaneous and glandular paraffin injections 48 h...

Solid tumours of the lips and cheek are far from common, and by reason of their peculiar anatomical structure have a greater pathological than clinical interest. Of two cases which have recently come under my notice,, one occurred on the left side of the upper lip of Dr. S., who had complained of it for four years; and the other was in the left cheek, about an inch from the angle of the mouth, ...

Accessible online at: www.karger.com/res In a recent issue of Respiration, Bottini and Tantucci [1] review some of the endocrine diseases in which sleep apnea syndrome is common. They focus on five conditions: acromegaly, hypothyroidism, diabetes with peripheral neuropathy, Cushing’s disease and syndrome, and hyperandrogenism in which sleep apnea occurs frequently and evidence for sleep disturb...

DESIGN: Although the ThinPrep Pap Test is replacing conventional Pap smears in many clinical practices, experience with the identification of glandular lesions is limited. In this study, ThinPrep cytology of glandular lesions was evaluated in a large, inner city teaching hospital with high rates of glandular abnormality. STUDY DESIGN: Six months of ThinPrep diagnoses in 1998, following nearly 1...

fourteen accessions and cultivars of lycopersicon spp. were studied to evaluate their resistance to two-spotted spider mite, tetranychus urticae koch, under laboratory and greenhouse conditions. in vitro studies were carried out using thumbtack and leaf disk bioassays. lycopersicon hirsutum and l. pennellii accessions supported more mites on the tack. the highest number of eggs (5.15 â± 0.48 eg...

BACKGROUND Breast augmentation is the most frequent procedure performed according to the 2009 Quick Facts report of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. This study presents the periareolar extra-glandular breast augmentation. METHODS From 2004 to 2010 among 32 female patients, peri-areolar incision was performed for breast augmentation. Dissection was performed in subcutaneous plane tow...

Xanthanolides, as the sesquiterpene lactones, are reportedly the major components for the pharmacological properties of X. strumarium L. species. Phytochemical studies indicated that the glandular structures on the surface of plant tissues would form the primary sites for the accumulation of this class of the compounds. As the interface between plants and their natural enemies, glandular tricho...

The xeromorphic adaptation of epidermal cells of Lamiaceae plant leaves, the conse­ quence of their adaptation to an arid habitat, was investigated. These xerophytic species inhibit transpiration in different ways, depending on the number, the form and the position of trichomes, whether they are dead hairs or live glandular structures. The Salvia genus is characterized on one hand by multicellu...

The nationwide breast cancer screening programme using mammography has been in full operation in The Netherlands since 1997. There is concern that the mean glandular doses due to mammography might be differing between different regions of the country due to differences in glandularity and compressed breast thickness. To investigate regional differences, glandularity, compressed breast thickness...
