Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the effects dietary supplementation with black cumin seed meal on growth performance parameters, coccidia oocyst counts, plasma biochemical parameters and cecal fermentation processes in growing rabbits. A total 40 male Californian rabbits at 35 days age were divided into two feeding groups: Control (complete rabbit diet) Black (2% complete diet r...

BACKGROUND The complex microbiome of the ceca of chickens plays an important role in nutrient utilization, growth and well-being of these animals. Since we have a very limited understanding of the capabilities of most species present in the cecum, we investigated the role of the microbiome by comparative analyses of both the microbial community structure and functional gene content using random...

a 65 years old male presented with abdominal pain (r.u.q) and constipation, associated with weight loss and anorexia since 40 days prior to admission. serum biochemical tests were normal. colonoscopy showed hemorrhagic polypoid lesion in the cecum. barium enema revealed filling defect in the cecum. sonography revealed a target-shaped lesion (3cm×2.5cm) in upper segment of the right hepatic lobe...

A 67-year-old Japanese man with neurofibromatosis type 1 underwent right hemicolectomy owing to abscess formation around the cecum. A pathological analysis revealed diffuse intestinal ganglioneuromatosis in the cecum and colon. Colonoscopy performed eight months after hemicolectomy revealed multiple ulcers throughout the colon and rectum. The colorectal ulcers failed to respond to conservative ...

Intestinal flora plays an important role in the decomposition and fecal excretion of methylmercury. The assumed mechanism is that decomposition of organic mercury (o-Hg) to inorganic mercury (i-Hg) by intestinal flora in cecum decreases the reabsorption of mercury in large intestines. To confirm this hypothesis, we examined the large intestinal mercury absorption in vitro from intestinal conten...

M oday, Sptem er 6, 2016 METHODS: For pharyngoesophageal reconstruction in a vessel-depleted neck, we have reliably transferred a pedicled ileocolon flap (terminal ileum, cecum, ascending colon and proximal transverse colon) based on the left ascending colic artery. After transection of the segment, the cecum reaches the oropharynx for an end-to-end anastomosis. The distal end of the proximal t...

We present a case of acute appendicitis from mobile cecum presenting with left upper quadrant abdominal pain.

A 35-year-old man presented with persistent pain in right iliac fossa and nausea for one month. He did not have vomiting or urinary symptoms and had normal bowel habits. Physical examination revealed minimal tenderness in right iliac fossa. Microscopic urine analysis, complete blood count, and stool examinationwere within normal limits. Computed tomographic (CT) scan showed diffuse, eccentric w...

Umbilical hernia is a common problem encountered in children. The rarity of finding cecum and appendix is probably due to the fact that the appendix is seldom found in the proximity of the umbilicus. It would, therefore, appear worthwhile to report the occurrence of cecum and an inflamed appendix with Ladd's bands in an umbilical hernia of a child. The last case with similar presentation was pr...

A 67-year-old woman presented in the emergency room with abdominal pain for 2 hours. Physical examination showed abdominal distension and diffuse pain without signs of peritoneal irritation. A plain abdominal radiography showed distension of cecum located ectopically in the left upper quadrant, with little aeration of the distal colon. Given these findings, an intravenous contrast enhanced mult...
