Amniotic Infection Syndrome: Nosology and Reproducibility of Placental Reaction Patterns Tập 6 Số 5 - Trang 435-448 - 2003
Raymond W. Redline, Ona Faye-Petersen, Debra S. Heller, Faisal Qureshi, Van H. Savell, Carole Vogler
Clinically responsive placental examination seeks to provide useful information
regarding the etiology, prognosis, and recurrence risk of pregnancy disorders.
The purpose of this study was to assemble and validate a complete set of the
placental reaction patterns seen with amniotic fluid infection in the hope that
this might provide a standardized diagnostic framework useful for practicing
patholo... hiện toàn bộ
Neonatal Necrotizing Enterocolitis: Clinical Considerations and Pathogenetic Concepts Tập 6 Số 1 - Trang 6-23 - 2003
Wei Hsueh, Michael S. Caplan, Xiao Wu Qu, Xiao Di Tan, Isabelle G. De Plaen, Frank González-Crussí
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a disease affecting predominantly premature
infants, is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in neonatal intensive
care units. Although several predisposing factors have been identified, such as
prematurity, enteral feeding, and infection, its pathogenesis remains elusive.
In the past 20 years, we have established several animal models of NEC in rats
and foun... hiện toàn bộ
National Wilms Tumor Study: An Update for Pathologists - 1998
Beckwith Jb
The National Wilms Tumor Study (NWTS)-5, begun in August 1995, incorporates some
important new definitions and concepts that have critical importance in
determining therapy and prognosis. The criteria for stage 1 were refined to
accommodate an important subset of stage 1 Wilms tumors that are being managed
by nephrectomy alone, without the use of adjuvant therapy. The distinction
between stages 1 ... hiện toàn bộ
Enteric Adenovirus Infection in Pediatric Small Bowel Transplant Recipients - 2001
Maria Parizhskaya, Janet Walpusk, George Mazariegos, Ronald Jaffe
Three of 70 small bowel transplant recipients were diagnosed with adenovirus
enteritis. The biopsies were performed for surveillance in one patient at 2.7
years after transplantation and in two symptomatic children 1.5 years and 4.5
months after transplantation. In all three patients the characteristic
epithelial changes were not noted by the primary observers. Two biopsies had
been called “sugges... hiện toàn bộ
Pediatric Renal Carcinoma Associated with Xp11.2 Translocations/TFE3 Gene Fusions and Clinicopathologic Associations Tập 8 Số 2 - Trang 168-180 - 2005
Gülçin Altınok, Mireille M. Kattar, Anwar N. Mohamed, Janet Poulik, David J. Grignon, Raja Rabah
Renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) are rare in children and studies of their subtypes
and clinicopathologic associations are limited to small series. We identified 8
patients with RCC treated at our institution between 1981 and 2003, reviewed
their clinicopathologic features, cytogenetics findings, and evaluated the
status of TFE3 expression by immunohistochemistry and numerical chromosomal
alterations ... hiện toàn bộ
Histiocytoid Cardiomyopathy: Three New Cases and a Review of the Literature Tập 1 Số 1 - Trang 56-69 - 1998
Bahig M. Shehata, Kathleen Patterson, J. Thomas, Diane M. Scala-Barnett, Sarada Dasu, Hamilton B.G. Robinson
Histiocytoid cardiomyopathy (HC), a rare arrhythmogenic disorder, presents as
difficult-to-control arrhythmias or sudden death in infants and children,
particularly girls. Three cases are described with autopsy findings. In two
cases, yellow-tan nodules were grossly visible in the myocardium; in the third
case, no gross lesions were identified. Microscopic examination in all three
cases revealed m... hiện toàn bộ
Pediatric Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor with Late Metastasis to the Lung: Case Report and Review of the Literature Tập 8 Số 2 - Trang 224-229 - 2005
Raffaella Morotti, Michael D. Legman, Nanda Kerkar, Bruce Pawel, Warren G. Sanger, Cheryl M. Coffin
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are challenging lesions with respect
to classification, differential diagnosis, and biologic potential. In children,
extrapulmonary IMTs, particularly those from the abdomen or mesentery, are
generally aggressive, with frequent local recurrences. There are few documented
patients with distant metastasis, and most of these had metastases at
presentation or... hiện toàn bộ
Characterization of Inflammation in Syphilitic Villitis and in Villitis of Unknown Etiology Tập 7 Số 5 - Trang 453-458 - 2004
Payal Kapur, Dinesh Rakheja, Ana M. Gómez, Jeanne S. Sheffield, Pablo J. Sánchez, Beverly Barton Rogers
Chronic villitis is a histologic diagnosis that may be either associated with
infection, or termed villitis of undetermined etiology (VUE). The lymphocytic
infiltrate in VUE has been reported to consist of maternal lymphocytes, but the
origin of the lymphocytic infiltrate in infectious villitis has not been
identified. The purpose of our study was to compare the maternal vs. fetal
origin of the in... hiện toàn bộ
