COBISS.SI-ID: 28232153Invited lecture was presented at the XXIX International Academy of Pathology International Congress, Cape Town, Sept. 30 - Nov. 5, 2012. Laryngeal squamous intraepithelial lesions (SILs) remain one of the most controversial topics in laryngeal pathology. There is no general agreement about terminology, histological classification and treatment. To move towards a classification that promotes effective communication between pathologists and surgeons, and allows meaningful comparison of the results of treatment, we have proposed a modified, three grade, histological classification into low-grade SILs, high-grade SILs and carcinoma in situ. This classification is based on the morphological criteria of the Ljubljana classification, supported by evidence of differences in the behavior of these diseases in a large prospective study.

He explained the development of chronic injury on two models of different mechanisms, after severe acute inflammation (hantavirus nephropathy) and after reactivation of latent chronic infection (polyomavirus nephropathy). He additionally presented how in collaboration with Belgian investigators in the comparative study of kidney tissue samples of patients with Chinese herbs nephropathy and kidney samples of enigmatic Balkan endemic nephropathy original and well received hypothesis on common cause – nephrotoxicity of aristolochic acid was born.
