Patchy villous atrophy in adult patients with suspected gluten-sensitive enteropathy: is a multiple duodenal biopsy strategy appropriate?

3 Dec 2008 BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: The current internationally accepted gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease is a small-bowel biopsy demonstrating villous atrophy. However, it has been suggested that the diagnosis might not be considered as ... Read more...

Loss of Runx3 affects ovulation and estrogen-induced endometrial cell proliferation in female mice.

30 Oct 2008 Runx3 is a transcription factor that belongs to the Runx family. We studied the function of Runx3 in the mouse ovary and uterus using the Runx3 knockout (Runx3(-/-)) mouse. Ovaries were collected from 8-week-old wild type (wt) and Runx3(-/-) mice. ... Read more...

Retinal function and corresponding pathology in advanced retinoblastoma.

30 Oct 2008 OBJECTIVE: To compare localized retinal function with corresponding histopathologic findings in advanced retinoblastoma. METHODS: The medical records and specimens of 7 children with Reese-Ellsworth stage V retinoblastoma (8 eyes) were ... Read more...
