Formalin pre-fixation improves autopsy histology

Autops. Case Rep; 11 (), 2021
Microscopic findings in key tissues are often critical to determine the cause of death in medical autopsies. The overall quality of histologic sections depends on numerous pre-analytic factors, among which are tissue section size and thickness. We designed a prospective quality improvement study to deter...

Alcohol-based fixatives can better preserve tissue morphology than formalin

Int. j. morphol; 38 (5), 2020
SUMMARY: Fixation is a crucial step in processing of tissue specimen for preservation of cellular architecture and composition of cells. Alcohol-based fixatives are considered some of the most promising alternatives to formalin. We evaluated the performance of alcohol-based fixatives (EthMeth and methaca...

Brain structure morphology after being fixated with ethanol on electron microscope

Int. j. morphol; 38 (2), 2020
Fixation is one of the processes in preparing histology and pathology. The common material for fixation is buffered formalin including paraformaldehyde. However, the effect of the damaged cells, which is fixed for a long time, causes the research for other fixation materials to become necessary. In addit...

A comparative study of fixatives for axolotl blastema tissue

Int. j. morphol; 35 (1), 2017
Regeneration is defined as tissue renewal and functional restoration process of the damaged parts of the body after an injury. Ambystoma mexicanum, commonly named the Axolotl, is one of the unique vertebrates, which has a remarkable ability to regenerate their extremities following the amputation. Althou...

Fita microporosa para fixação de enxertos cutâneos

Rev. bras. cir. plást; 32 (2), 2017
Introdução: A fixação do enxerto cutâneo é essencial para sua integração no leito receptor. A literatura apresenta várias técnicas de fixação, porém, o uso da fita de microporosa é pouco relatado. O objetivo é demonstrar e divulgar o uso da fita microporosa na fixação do enxerto cutâneo...

Minimally invasive lift of the middle third of the face using musculoaponeurotic suspension with periosteal fixation technique: a review of 50 cases

Rev. bras. cir. plást; 26 (3), 2011
BACKGROUND: At present, demanding workplaces in our society cause patients to search for less invasive procedures with diminished morbidity and more rapid healing to meet their cosmetic requirements. A combination of several new noninvasive procedures allows significant facial changes, achieving a youthf...

Preservation of Haemal Nodes Fixed by Means of Two Different Aldehyde Fixatives: a Scanning Electron Microscopic Study

Int. j. morphol; 29 (2), 2011
Glutaraldehyde is the fixative most commonly used in electron microscope studies of biological tissues, however it is often necessary to use samples which were not fixed in this fixative, even with the usual uncertainty of the results that may be obtained. The fixation is the more delicate step of the sa...

Microwave Fixation in Rat Fetuses Tissues: Histological and Immunohistochemical Analysis

Int. j. morphol; 25 (4), 2007
The aim of this study was to show the microwaves action in fixation of rat fetuses, dermal and cartilaginous tissues, using histological and immunohistochemistry methods for analysis. It was possible to conclude in this study using the rat as experimental model that the two methods for antibody retrieval...
