01/01/2022 - "Visualization of hippocampal neuronal cells via HE and Congo red staining showed significant improvement in cell status and a significant reduction in amyloidosis in ADE compared with AD. "
06/21/2017 - "Congo red staining of an endomyocardial biopsy is the diagnostic gold-standard in suspected cardiac amyloidosis (CA), but the procedure is associated with the risk, albeit small, of serious complications, and delay in diagnosis due to the requirement for technical expertise. "
01/01/2020 - "The diversity of clinical manifestations and first episode symptoms often cause misdiagnosis in young patients with myocardial amyloidosis following MM. In this study, we analyzed the clinical data of a young woman with MM and impaired cardiac function combined with echocardiography, electrocardiography (ECG), laboratory data, cell Congo Red staining, and other manifestations to diagnose amyloidosis. "
03/01/2015 - "We conclude that h-FTAA fluorescence is more sensitive than Congo red staining in this small exploratory study of fat tissue samples, implicating potential sensitivity for prodromal amyloidosis, but is less specific for clinical amyloidosis defined by Congo red positivity. "
04/01/2012 - "Although, histopathological examination of the lesion reveals amorphous eosinophilic deposits in papillary dermis examination of congo red stained slides under polarized light will give definitive diagnosis To study the clinicopathological features of cutaneous amyloidosis emphasizing the utility of polarized light in diagnosis.
