  2. Foreign-body giant cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign-body_giant_cell

    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]

  3. Foreign body reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_body_reaction

    Foreign body granuloma formation consists of protein adsorption, macrophages, multinucleated foreign body giant cells (macrophage fusion), fibroblasts, and angiogenesis. It has also been proposed that the mechanical property of the interface between an implant and its surrounding tissues is critical for the host response.

  4. Endocervical curettage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocervical_curettage

    Endocervical curettage is a medical procedure used to extract cells of the endocervix to visualize under a microscope. Direct cervical visualization, colposcopy, and even endocervical colposcopy are not enough to fully analyze all areas of the endocervical epithelium and thus endocervical curettage is the method of choice in cases where this is necessary.

    Granuloma formation and multinucleated giant cells The main purpose of cytological examination in granulomatous dermatitis is to detect infectious agents. Foreign body materials are very specific for foreign body granuloma. Granuloma annulare: Palisading granuloma and mucin Necrobiosis lipoidica: Palisading granuloma and necrobiotic materials

    Monsel's solution is applied with large cotton swabs to the surface of the cervix to control bleeding. This solution looks like mustard and turns black when exposed to blood. After the procedure this material will be expelled naturally: Patients can expect to have a thin coffee-ground like discharge for up to several days after the procedure.

  8. Giant cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_cell

    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.

    The loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) is one of the most commonly used approaches to treat high grade cervical dysplasia (CIN II/III, HGSIL) and early stage cervical cancer discovered on colposcopic examination. In the UK, it is known as large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ).
