Morphologic, immunphenotypic and clinical discriminators between T-cell/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma and lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma.

Background: Features of T-cell/histiocyte rich large B-cell lymphoma (THRLBCL) overlap with those of lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (LPHL). The two lymphomas may represent a spectrum of the same disease, and differentiation between the two can sometimes be difficult. We looked at histomorphologic, immunophenotypic and clinical information that may help differentiate the two entities.

Radiographic assessment of post-retained crowns in an adult Jordanian population.

Aim: The objective of this study was to radiographically assess and compare the quality of post-retained crowns fabricated at the Dental Health Centre of the Jordan University of Science & Technology (JUST).

Methods And Materials: Study data were collected in 2002 from existing dental records for all patients receiving treatment with post-retained crowns between October, 1997 and June, 1999. The posts were assessed radiographically to evaluate various aspects of the quality of post-retained crowns.

Grading of follicular lymphoma using flow cytometry.

Background: The treatment and prognosis of follicular lymphoma (FL) is dependant on the grade of the disease. In the World Health Organization classification of lymphoma, grading of FL into low grade (1 and 2) and high grade (3) is recommended. Grading of FL is possible in excision biopsy; histological grading is subjective and inconsistent.
