The authors present a case of a 75-year-old man who underwent 2 months of radiotherapy for prostate cancer. He developed rectal bleeding 6 months later. A colonoscopy showed radiation proctitis with no other abnormalities up to the caecum. He was treated with a variety of medical therapies and argon beam laser with minimal effect. He was treated with epinephrine injection after a subsequent flexible sigmoidoscopy. He required multiple blood transfusions because of the resulting anaemia. He was finally treated with topical formalin dab therapy over three sessions, after which his rectal bleeding subsided and haemoglobin levels eventually reached normal levels.

Abrasion and dental pulp morphological changes in occlusal dysfunction.
Rom J Morphol Embryol
July 2024
Department of Occlusology and Fixed Prosthetics, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, Romania;
Aim: The authors set out to assess if the presence and the degree of severity of the abrasion, as a consequence of the occlusal dysfunction, determine further morphological changes in the dental pulp.
Materials And Methods: Study group included teeth dental pulp from 45 cases with occlusal dysfunction, subsequently divided into two subgroups: 24 cases with abrasion (AB) and 21 cases without abrasion (NONAB). The set of morphological parameters of dental pulp were thicknesses of the outer layer, inner layer and entire peripheral pulp zone, the presence of pulpal calcifications and their extent within the dental pulp, the presence of interstitial fibrosis and its extent within the dental pulp and the vascular density (VD) of pulpal capillary network.

Wild cats play an important role as top predators in the food chain and act as ecosystem regulators. However, in recent decades, many studies have demonstrated the potential effects of parasitic diseases on wild carnivore populations, including cats. This study reports on the endoparasites found in an injured and rescued specimen of in the state of Rio de Janeiro.

Immunostaining is an antibody-based tool used to visualize proteins in tissue. Enzymes or fluorochromes conjugated to antibodies are used to detect proteins of interests. Fluorescent immunostaining can be used in human tissue, however due to the high autofluorescence of non-perfused human tissue, enzymatic immunostaining is better suited.

The difficulty in diagnosis of severe melanocytic lesions is a problem to be overcome in pathological practice. Melanin bleaching is an effective approach to ameliorate melanin disturbances in severely pigmented lesions. Although various methods for improving melanin pigmentation in immunohistochemical staining have been reported, these depigmentation methods still need to be optimized and standardized.
