This is due to their non-replicative, terminally differentiated highly specialized nature. Specifically, they exhibit a high rate of vesicular traffic as evidenced by multiple coated vesicles and coated pits along their basolateral domain and have a high capacity for protein synthesis and posttranslational modifications because of a well-developed endoplasmic reticulum and a large Golgi apparatus [1]. Podocyte depletion consequent to injury is a well-established mechanism underlying glomerular scarring (sclerosis) while progressive glomerulosclerosis leads to ESKD [2]. It is, therefore, not surprising that strategies assessing ways to protect podocytes against injury are being explored.","PeriodicalId":90888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of clinical & anatomic pathology (JCAP)","volume":"520 1","pages":"1 - 1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77201505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Proliferative verrucous Leukoplakia (PVL) is a high risk non-homogenous leukoplakia. PVL has a high probability of recurrence and has shown a high rate of malignant transformation to either squamous cell carcinoma or verrucous carcinoma. This paper discusses two cases of gingival PVL with malignant transformation. Both patients were female, ages 62 and 70 who were seen at the oral pathology clinic in Kaiser. The initial biopsy results on both cases were suggestive of PVL. Close observation and repeated follow up visits showed recurrent lesions and subsequently early detection of SCC.","PeriodicalId":90888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of clinical & anatomic pathology (JCAP)","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75284290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We enrolled 11 healthy subjects and 48 patients with chronic liver disease. They all performed TE, 33 patients and healthy subjects were evaluated withPoint SWE and 15 patients with 2D-SWE. The differences between techniques and TE, evaluated with student’s t-test, were not statistically significant (p>0,05). The cut-offs of SWE technique were for F≥2 6,2 kPa; F≥3 7,65 kPa; F=4 13 kPa. SWE techniques have good potential in assessing liver fibrosis; moreover, being elastosonography quick and easy to perform, it could be integrated into the clinical practice of the ultrasound examination.","PeriodicalId":90888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of clinical & anatomic pathology (JCAP)","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80994147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Study Design and Setting: A retrospective 4-years case study of singleton placentas reports between, 1st of January 2014 to 31st of December 2017. The placentas were sent for histopathological diagnosis to Embryofetal Pathology Laboratory, Centro de Genetica Clínica (CGC), Porto, Portugal. In a cohort of singleton placentas, PW, PDs, PT, PW-R, and BPW-R were analyzed to produce percentile curves. Considering the inclusion criteria, 1,951 singleton placentas were selected from a sample of 7,321 placentas. We recorded the PW, PDs, PT, PW-R, and BPW-R between 12th and 41st GA. Results: PW, PDs, PW-R and BPW-R tables and percentiles curves for singleton placentas across GA were produced. Conclusions: Placental percentile curves may act as a reference for other populations as well until population-specific curves can be produced. PDs could predict placental volume and could help to estimate the prenatal PW-R and BPW-R.","PeriodicalId":90888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of clinical & anatomic pathology (JCAP)","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89378608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
