Fifty jejunal biopsy specimens obtained from normal subjects and from untreated and treated patients with coeliac disease were assessed blindly by three independent observers, each of them using different morphometric techniques-namely, linear measurement, stereology, and computer aided microscopy. In two of 26 control biopsy specimens linear measurement was not possible because of distortion o...

Stereological studies were performed on 27 pairs of adrenal glands of human fetuses (9-38 weeks of intra-uterine development). Medullary chromaffin cells were identified by immunostaining for chromogranin-A. The volume of adrenal medulla, average cell volume, and the number of chromaffin cells were calculated. The volume of adrenal medulla increased slowly up to the 20th week and afterwards it ...

background wound healing is a dynamic process with inflammatory response and oxidative reaction in the damaged area. alpha ointment (ao) and arnebia euchroma (arnebia) are herbal medicines with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that can be used as wound healing agents. ao is a commonly used ointment while arnebia is a newly introduced one. objectives we aimed to compare the effects of a...

Professor Hans Jørgen G. Gundersen MD, DMSc (1943–2021) was a pioneering stereologist whose work has inspired and influenced researchers across the world for almost half century. He charismatic character one of founding fathers modern stereology, achievements contributions are fondly remembered below by colleagues co-workers. It an enormous pleasure to be in his company although future generati...

OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to compare distinct brain frontal lobe parcellation methods across 90 brain magnetic resonance imaging scans and examine their associations with cognition in older age. METHODS Three parcellation methods (Manual, FreeSurfer, and Stereology) were applied to T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging of 90 older men, aged ∼ 73 years. A measure of general fluid ...

background: para-nonylphenol (p-np) is one of the environmental pollutants which cause reproductive system disorders. objective: the effects of vitamin e on ovary structure during its development in rats treated with p-np. materials and methods: 32 wistar female rats after mating were divided into 4 groups; control vitamin e (100mg/kg/day) p-np (250mg/kg/day) and p-np + vitamin e. the rats were...
