Foreign body giant cells are involved in the foreign body reaction, phagocytosis, and subsequent degradation of biomaterials which may lead to failure of the implanted material. [4] When produced, the FBGC's place themselves along the surface of the implantation, and will remain there for as long as the foreign material remains in the body. [1]
Adherent macrophages at the implant site can fuse into a multinucleated cell called foreign body giant cell. [11] Foreign body giant cell formation depends on the biomaterial surface properties and on the presence of interleukin-4 and interleukin-13. [11] Foreign body giant cells release reactive oxygen intermediates, degradative enzymes, and ...

Significant complications from a colposcopy are not common but may include bleeding, infection at the biopsy site or endometrium, and failure to identify the lesion. Monsel's solution and silver nitrate interfere with the interpretation of biopsy specimens, so these substances are not applied until all biopsies have been taken. Some patients ...
Foreign-body giant cells form when a subject is exposed to a foreign substance. Exogenous substances can include talc or sutures. As with other types of giant cells, epithelioid macrophages fusing together causes these giant cells to form and grow. [13] In this form of giant cell, the nuclei are arranged in an overlapping manner.
There are two main treatment options for women facing weak cervical tissue. The first is a cerclage — stitches placed at the base of the cervix to keep it closed.

In the late 1960s through 1971 a cluster of young women, from their teens into their twenties, was mysteriously diagnosed with clear-cell adenocarcinoma (CCA), a cancer not generally found in women until after menopause. Doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital eventually linked DES exposure before birth to the development of CCA in these ...
