Hepatogenous photosensitization is one of the ruminant diseases with symptoms of dermatitis or eczema of the skin accompanied by liver damage.  The disease is caused by the compounds of toxic lantadene A and lantadene B which are secondary metabolites of Lantana camara plant.  This research was carried out on January 2017. The material used in this study was preserved organs of the labia and lingua of dead three year old cow (Bos sondaicus).  Samples were taken from Pakutatan Village, Jembrana, Bali.  Identification of organ samples, histological preparation and histopathological examination were conducted at the Disease Investigation Center (DIC) 6, Denpasar, Bali.  The preparation of labia and lingua samples used the paraffin method with Hematoxylin and Eosin staining.  The tissue structural damages found were necrosis, inflammatory cell infiltration, congestion and tissue bleeding.  The data obtained were analyzed statistically by One Way Anova test with a confidence level of 95%.  Based on the results,  dead Bali cow which consumed a large numbers of Lantana camara plants showed that the highest number of cell damage was at the picnotic stage of cell necrosis (cell death) in the labia organ significantly (P<0.005), while the highest bacterial invasion was found in the labia organ with an average percentage of 12.40%.

Background: Histopathological evaluation of endometrial samples is essential in the workup of abnormal uterine bleeding. This study was carried out to evaluate patterns of endometrial histological findings in women with abnormal uterine bleeding and to correlate histopathological findings with clinical features.Materials and Methods: One hundred and twenty two patients with diagnosis of abnormal uterine bleeding underwent endometrial sampling. The slides stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin stain were studied.Results: The predominant endometrial histopathological finding was proliferative endometrium 32 cases (26.23%) followed by simple hyperplasia without atypia 22 cases (18.03%). Malignant lesions were more common in patients more than 40 years of age and comprised of 7 cases (5.74%) of all cases. Atrophic endometrium was most common finding in postmenopausal bleeding 8 cases (28.6%) followed by endometrial carcinoma 5 cases (17.9%).Conclusion: Histopathological examination of endometrium should be done generously in women presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding especially after the age of 40 years to rule out malignant pathology.Journal of Pathology of Nepal (2012) Vol. 2, 297-300DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jpn.v2i4.6882

The carbon dioxide and neodymium:yttrium aluminum garnet lasers have well documented but characteristically different biological effects, yet little is known about their cumulative, synergistic, or paradoxical effects when used sequentially on living tissue. Using a Merrimack ML 880 laser, a series of superimposed CO2 and Nd:YAG lesions in various combinations were produced on the undersurface of dog tongues. Therapeutic time and power settings were chosen and the number of applications varied, with suitable controls. Observations and measurements were made on acute, healing, and healed lesions. All lesions were excised and submitted for routine hematoxylin and eosin histology. Acute lesions were also assessed for cell viability using rhodamine 123 as a supravital marker. The results show that, even though all the lesions eventually heal, the actual cell damage produced by the Nd:YAG laser is much more than is suggested by the size of the acute lesion. This cell damage can be reduced by the surface carbonization produced by initial application of the CO2 laser. Higher surface temperatures are reached in this combination with less fibrosis and scarring than equal energy counterparts where the Nd:YAG laser was applied first. The knowledge of these synergistic effects can be used to advantage in the clinical setting. The rhodamine 123 technique also appears to be a valid measure of acute thermal tissue injury.

Background: Sarcocystosis or infection with Sarcocystis species is a parasitic zoonotic disease caused by cyst forming coccidian intracellular protozoa that caused by different species of Sarcocystis. The cyst forming parasite has obligatory two hosts life cycle including carnivorous as definitive host and omnivorous or herbivorous as intermediate host. The parasitic infestation causes serious health problems and economical loses because of abortion in pregnant animals, carcass condemnation after slaughtering due to severe emaciation and pathological lesions, low quality of meat, milk and wool, as well as restriction on animal importation by authorities.Methods: The present work was conducted to study the prevalence of sarcocysts infection in slaughtered cattle at Duhok abattoir, Iraq. Muscle samples from different organs comprising esophagus, diaphragm and heart were collected from 150 cattle aged from one to two years old. Different techniques were used for detection of macroscopic and microscopic types of sarcocysts. The techniques including inspection by naked eye, peptic digestion method, muscle mincing and squash preparation and staining with giemsa stain, as well as histopathological examination.Results: The overall prevalence of infected muscle samples was 76%. The infection rate of microscopic type of sarcocyst was 41.3% in heart, 92% in diaphragm and 94% in oesophagus. The histopathological examination of infected muscle tissues revealed mild infiltration of inflammatory cells and slight degeneration of muscle fibers. Significant difference (p≤0.05) was recorded between the prevalence rate of macrocysts and microcysts of sarcocyst but there was no significant difference (p≥0.05) in the prevalence rate of sarcocystis infection among different organs.Conclusions: The results of the current study indicated a high prevalence of sarcocystis infection among slaughtered cattle in Duhok province, Iraq, that could be due existence of large numbers of dogs and cats around the slaughter house which are involved in life cycle of the parasite and spread of the infection.
