Novel Treatments for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) are the only drugs demonstrated to modify the course of the rheumatoid arthritis and improve radiologic findings. There are 2 types of DMARDs: biologic and syntethic small molecules. Among the biologic DMARDs are tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a) inhibitors; T-cell costimulatory blocking agents and B-cell depleting agents

Histology of Thyroid

Thyroid gland consists of colloid follicles which are lined by cuboid epithelial cells secreting the thyroid hormones, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). Between the follicles is the interstitial space, containing the blood vessels and the parafolliclar (C) cells responsible for the secretion  of calcitonin.

Hematoxylin and Eosin stain

HE stain is a popular staining method in histology. Its a combination of two dyes the basic dye (hematoxylin) and the alcohol-based dye (eosin). In an HE stain you will usually see both eosinophilia and basophilia the nuclei of cells basophilic (blue), while eosinophilia is typical of cytoplasmic constituents (pink). Xylene, alcohols, distilled water are also required.
