BACKGROUND Early detection holds the key to an effective control of cancers in general and of oral cancers in particular. However, screening procedures for oral cancer are not straightforward due to procedural requirements as well as feasibility issues, especially in resource-limited countries. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study to compare the performance of chemiluminescence, tolui...

BACKGROUND The term nodular is not included in the Sydney classification and there is no widely accepted histopathological definition. It has been proposed that the presence of antral nodularity could predict Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of nodular gastritis (NG) for H. pylori infection after a rigorous standardization...

The present study describes the ultrasonographic and histopathological evaluation of a rare mammary fibroadenoma in 11 month-old buffalo heifer. A homogenous large mammary mass approximately 17 cm was developed in the left rear quarter. The buffalo was assigned for curative surgical removal of the mass. The lesion was well demarcated smooth encapsulated lobular structure, which had a solid cons...

the modern surgical endodontic treatment is a safe and predictable procedure with high success rate. however, several factors can retard or impede the proper healing process. use of a high speed handpiece during hard tissues management (osteotomy and apical resection) can potentially be one of these factors. formation of metallic debris from the surgical diamond burs, production of necrotic loc...

IntRoductIon A biopsy is the removal of part, or all, of a lesion, to enable histopathological examination and definite diagnosis. The word, ‘biopsy’ has been derived from the Greek words, ‘Bios’ (life) and ‘Opsis’ (vision): vision of life. Biopsy is the gold standard diagnostic procedure for obtaining adequate representative tissue for histopathological evaluation, for arriving at a final diag...
