Macrovesicular steatosis (MS) is a major risk factor for liver graft failure after transplantation and pathological microscopic examination of a frozen tissue section remains the gold standard for its assessment. However, the latter requires an experienced in-house pathologist for correct and rapid diagnosis as well as specific equipment that...

Background: Scientific rationale and encouraging first clinical results suggest the interest of using apremilast for treating vitiligo.Objective: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of apremilast in combination therapy with narrowband (NB)-UVB versus placebo and NB-UVB treatment for repigmentation in patients with nonsegmental...

Background The differential diagnosis between infiltrative glioma (IG) and benign or curable glial lesions, such as gliosis, pilocytic astrocytoma, dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor, ganglioglioma, or demyelinating disease, may be challenging for the pathologist because specific markers are lacking. Recently, we described a strong EGFR...

This study investigated the relationship of oxytocin (OT) to chondrogenesis and osteoarthritis (OA). Human bone marrow and multipotent adipose-derived stem cells were cultured in vitro in the absence or presence of OT and assayed for mRNA transcript expression along with histological and immunohistochemical analyses. To study the effects of OT...

: Introduction: Oxytocin (OT), a neurohypophysial hormone regulated by estrogen and leptin, may play a role in bone metabolism in humans as suggested by animal studies. This study assess the relationship between OT and bone status in a large population of post menopausal women. Subjects and methods: Subjects were included in the Osteoporosis...
