There are several unresolved issues through out the literature regarding the entity of primary lung lymphoma. Extensive literature review of this uncommon pathology is carried out. By taking into consideration the reported experience, the author discuss the classification, clinical features, histological differential diagnosis, prognostic criteria, therapeutic management and outcome of primary ...

Ultrasound (US) has been excluded from assessment of lung pathology for many decades. In fact, the acoustic characteristics of thoracic structures make them unsuitable for morphological US imaging in most cases. Bone and air are notorious “enemies” of US as they prevent their penetration thus obscuring deeper structures. Lung ultrasound relies on interpretation of many different artifacts and p...

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence diseases in free-ranging wild canids that were roadkill on highways State Espírito Santo, Brazil. PCR tests performed for detection Brucella sp., Babesia Rangelia and Hepatozoon sp. spleen. Morphological evaluation identification parasites liver lung. Twenty specimens C. thous necropsied at Animal Pathology Sector Veterinary Hospi...

Lung cancer is in Poland the most common malignancy. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 80% of all lung tumors. In the multidisciplinary treatment of non-small cell lung cancer patients the role of chemotherapy and, most recently, molecular targeted therapy is increasing. In 2005 we published recommendations for systemic treatment of non-small cell lung cancer and mes...

CFTR is a cAMP-activated chloride and bicarbonate channel that is critical for lung homeostasis. Decreases in CFTR expression have dire consequences in cystic fibrosis (CF) and have been suggested to be a component of the lung pathology in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Decreases or loss of channel function often lead to mucus stasis, chronic bacterial infections, and the accompanying c...

Ventilation within the lung is air shift generated by displacements of intra-pulmonary structures according to the chest motion. In order to study lung anatomy, physiology, and pathology, 4D (=3D + time axis) models are necessary. The present author has developed software for generating 4D lung models from the trachea to alveoli. Since the lung models consist of 4D finite elements, air flow sim...

Lung ultrasound (LUS) imaging as a point-of-care diagnostic tool for lung pathologies has been proven superior to X-ray and comparable CT, enabling earlier more accurate diagnosis in real-time at the patient’s bedside. The main limitation widespread use is its dependence on operator training experience. COVID-19 findings predominantly reflect pneumonitis pattern, with pleural effusion being inf...

background aging causes many changes in human physiology, increasing the risk of pathologic conditions in elderly populations. different studies have shown higher frequency of oral and maxillofacial lesions in older people. knowing the prevalence and distribution of these lesions can help dentists in screening these patients. objectives this study aimed to evaluate the frequency and distributio...

background: there is a paucity of information about the oral pathology related articles published in a pathology journal. this study aimed to audit the oral pathology related articles published in iranian journal of pathology (iran j pathol)from 2006 to 2015. methods: bibliometric analysis of issues of iran j pathol from 2006 to 2015 was performed using web-based search.the articles published w...

Map makers have for many years searched for a way to construct cartograms, maps in which the sizes of geographic regions such as countries or provinces appear in proportion to their population or some other analogous property. Such maps are invaluable for the representation of census results, election returns, disease incidence, and many other kinds of human data. Unfortunately, to scale region...
