Cardiac Tumor Pathology

Cardiac tumors have been as soon as a nosographic entity of scarce scientific curiosity due to the rarity and of the intrinsic diagnostic and healing impossibilities, and have been thought of a deadly morbid entity. It has now develop into a topical topic because of advances in medical imaging (echo, magnetic resonance, computed tomography) in addition to innovation in applied sciences of in-vivo analysis.

The Pathology of the Endocrine Pancreas in Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus represents essentially the most widespread and critical medical syn­ dromes in modern drugs. because the finish of the 19th century, the endocrine pancreas has been implicated within the pathogenesis of this affliction. a number of pathologists of the 20th century detected numerous lesions and mor­ phologic adjustments within the pancreatic islets of diabetic sufferers, however the patho­ physiologic foundation in their findings remained lengthy vague.

Since its discovery as an indestructible material centuries ago, it has been used in countless applications, often because no identified substance rivals its engineering or commercial performance. Asbestos applications result from its many unique physical attributes. Its high tensile strength stabilizes mixtures with concrete, asphalt, and plastic. Asbestos also offers a stable material for frictional use, that is, as a brake surface. Because of the length and pliability of its fibers, it has been incorporated into specially manufactured products, including gaskets, pads, fabric sheets, and asbestos paper with intrinsic properties of resistance and strength.
