Ictiol. 8(1/2):9–18. The histological characteristics of the melanomacrophage centers are described in liver, spleen and kidney of Cichlasoma dimerus, with a comparative analysis of the dens...

Stressors frequently increase oxidative damage--unless organisms simultaneously mount effective antioxidant responses. One putative mitigative mechanism is the use of biliverdin, an antioxidant produced in the spleen during erythrocyte degradation. We hypothesized that both wild and captive-bred male veiled chameleons (Chamaeleo calyptratus), which are highly aggressive to conspecifics, would r...

Spleen can have a wide range of anomalies including its shape, location, number, and size. Although most of these anomalies are congenital, there are also acquired types. Congenital anomalies affecting the shape of spleen are lobulations, notches, and clefts; the fusion and location anomalies of spleen are accessory spleen, splenopancreatic fusion, and wandering spleen; polysplenia can be assoc...

there is still been no report of splenic involvement in the wake of colon cancer. in this case, air was seen in the spleen and liver following the penetration of colon cancer to the continuous spleen. colon cancers always do not present with clear and common symptoms. some times with a non-specific and uncommon symptoms and signs present that would be amazed physicians and researchers. it is ve...

BACKGROUND Over 90% of all cases of malaria worldwide occur in Africa. Current methods of diagnosis are time and labor intensive, and could lead to delayed treatment. METHODS In this study we investigated the effectiveness of measurements of spleen, liver, and optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) in identifying patients with malaria or severe malaria through the use of hand-held ultrasound devi...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Noninvasive methods are needed to identify clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) and esophageal varices (EVs) in patients with compensated cirrhosis. We looked for markers of the presence of CSPH and EVs in patients with cirrhosis. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study that included a training set of 117 patients with compensated cirrhosis, confirmed by hi...

postmortem examination of a 5.5-year-old holstein cow with history of sudden death showed a veryhuge spleen (120 × 45 × 10 cm) associated with severe haemoperitoneum. histopathological findingsincluded extensive infiltration of medium to large sized lymphocytic and lymphoblastic cells with smallamounts of cytoplasm, round nuclei with coarsely granular chromatin in the spleen, and limited foci o...
