Published: May 1996

In view of the unpredictability of results of antibiotic therapy of bovine dermatophilosis and following the report of successful use of 10% formalin administered intravenously at the dosage of 20 ml per 100 kg body weight, a trial was undertaken to evaluate the latter treatment in naturally-occurring dermatophilosis in a group of Friesian crossbred cattle. Group 1 animals were given only 10% formalin. Group 2 received 10% formalin and long-acting oxytetracycline (L/AO) at a dosage of 20 mg per kg body weight and Group 3 animals were given only L/AO. Treatments were repeated at intervals of four days. All animals recovered fully, the formalin only-treated ones after three treatments the L/AO-treated ones after a mean of 2.7 treatments and the combination-treated animals after a mean of 1.5 treatments. One LA/O-treated animal showed relapse after four months. This study is continuing.

Formaldehyde is considered as a significant contaminant. This study aimed to perform comprehensive research with systematic review, health risk estimation, meta-analysis, and Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate exposure to formaldehyde at different seasons of the year in various indoor environments. A systematic literature review was initially performed.

Objective: Aim: To evaluate the expression levels of SOX-10 in tissues of bladder tumor and to prove the correlation between SOX-10 expression and clinicopathological characteristics of bladder tumors, including patient age, sex, tumor grade, and muscle invasion.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: Forty formalin fixed paraffin embedded FFPE tissue blocks gathered by transurethral resection of bladder tumor are collected from teaching hospitals at Al-Najaf governorate. Those blocks were stained by hematoxylin and eosin.

Background: Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from preexisting ones via capillary sprouting, is a crucial process in tumor growth and metastasis. As a tumor's angiogenic capacity increases, its microvasculature, measured by micro vessel density (MVD), also increases. This study aims to evaluate the expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and CD34 in oral epithelial dysplasia and oral squamous cell carcinoma through immunohistochemical methods.

Background: Fixation preserves the tissues in a close to the life-like state by preventing its autolysis and putrefaction. Formalin has long been considered the close to ideal fixative for histological studies. With the awareness of occupational hazards, a few researchers have tried phenoxetol as a secondary preservative which offered comparable histological results to that of formalin.
