outcome of trabeculectomy is episcleral fibrosis which leads to the obstruction of the drainage channel Inflammatory reaction is an initial, but, also, the key event in the process of fibrosis and directly proportional to it A successful medicamentous suppression of inflammation could stop fibrosis. ...
Figure 7. Rare histological subtypes. (A) Sarcomatoid subtype: poorly differentiated HCC with spindle cell morphology resembling sarcoma. (B) Scirrhous subtype: dense intratumoral fibrosis. (C) Neutrophil-rich subtype: poorly differentiated hepatocellular carinoma with numerous intratumoral neutrophils. Chrom...
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is considered the most important sequela developed in patients suffering from the chronic form of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), which leads to the loss of respiratory function in 50% of cases; this residual pulmonary abnormality is present even after antifungal treatment. To...
(collagen, TGF-β3, MMP-12, MMP-14) and an increase of anti-fibrotic ones (MMP-8 and TIMP-2), which, in turn, was associated with an attenuation of inflammation and lung fibrosis, as well as a lower deposition of collagen and reticulin fibers with a recovery of the lung architecture...
