Histologic findings after Guglielmi detachable coils endovascular embolisation have been studied in experimental aneurysms. Few reports describe histopathologic reactions to platinum coils in humans. In this report we describe gross, light microscopic pathology and scanning electron microscopy study of a ruptured basilar tip artery aneurysm in a patient who died 16 hours following coiling.

Tracy and Doremus have demonstrated chemical bonding between bone and hydroxylapatite with transmission electron microscopy. Now researchers ponder how to improve upon this bond in turn improving the life expectancy and biocompatibility of implantable orthopedic devices.This report focuses on a study of the- chemical influences on the interfacial integrity and strength. Pure hydroxylapatite (HAP), magnesium doped HAP, strontium doped HAP, bioglass and medical grade titanium cylinders were implanted into the tibial cortices of New Zealand white rabbits. After 12 weeks, the implants were retrieved for a scanning electron microscopy study coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy.Following sacrifice and careful retrieval, the samples were dehydrated through a graduated series starting with 50% ethanol and continuing through 60, 70, 80, 90, 95, and 100% ethanol over a period of two days. The samples were embedded in LR White. Again a graduated series was used with solutions of 50, 75 and 100% LR White diluted in ethanol.

A rare species Sellaphora hustedtii, which is also new for the flora of Russia, has been found in waterbodies of the Messoyakha River basin (south-western part of the Gydan Peninsula, Western Siberia). The scanning electron microscopy study revealed variability of the main quantitative and qualitative diagnostic features of the species (length and width of the valve, number of striae and areolae in 10 μm, shape of the valve and structure of the raphe). New data on the ecology and distribution of the species allowed us to specify its diagnosis.
