Abstract

Surgical pathology had its beginnings in the late 1800s. A biopsy that gained much attention was from the larynx of Crown Prince Frederick in 1887. The tissue was seen by Rudolph Virchow and the clinical management of the Prince eventuated in a highly publicized furor. During the first half of the twentieth century, numerous entities in the head and neck were described by dozens of pathologists worldwide. The information was scattered in clinical journals for radiotherapists, general surgeons, and otolaryngologists. The first book on ear, nose, and throat pathology did not appear until 1947 and by 1956 two atlases were available. The book was "Histopathology of the Ear, Nose and Throat" by Eggston and Wolff (1947), and the atlases were the first Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) fascicle on salivary gland tumors by Foote and Frazell (1954) and "An Atlas of Otolaryngic Pathology" by Ash and Raum (1956). Clinicopathologic studies accelerated in the 1960s as laryngeal conservation therapy evolved and radiation therapy became more sophisticated. The years 1968 and 1974 mark major events for the emergence of Head and Neck Pathology into a clear-cut discipline. In 1968, Vincent J. Hyams was appointed Director of Otolaryngic ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
