The present study was designed to examine the anatomical parameters of the cardiopulmonary system, the function of venous blood gas parameters and the development of ascites incidence in two genetic line chickens. Three hundred forty day-old chickens from two pure broiler breeder lines, which were different in their growth rate and susceptibility to ascites syndrome were obtained. The relative ...

Asthma is characterised into eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic phenotypes based on inflammatory cell patterns in airway secretions. Neutrophils are important in innate immunity, and are increased in the airways in non-eosinophilic asthma. The present study investigated the activity of neutrophils in asthma phenotypes. Participants with eosinophilic (n = 8) and non-eosinophilic asthma (n = 9) an...

Eosinophilic fasciitis is a rare condition characterized by edema, induration, thickening of the skin and soft tissues, hypergammaglobulinemia peripheral eosinophilia. We present two patients with eosinophilic no elevation eosinophils at time diagnosis.

background: there are two kinds of ascites, cirrhotic and malignant. the conventional diagnostic method to differentiate them is paracentesis. this is an invasive and time consuming method. however, ultrasonography is an easy and available method to provide valuable results in a short period of time. the aim of this study was to evaluate gallbladder wall thickness in differentiating cirrhotic a...

eosinophilic gastroenteritis (ege) is a rare inflammatory disorder of gastrointestinal tract characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the bowel wall. it can mimic many gastrointestinal disorders due to its wide spectrum of presentations. diagnose is mostly based on excluding other disorders and a high suspicion. here we report a case of 26 year old man with a history of sever epigastric pa...

BACKGROUND COPD exacerbations requiring hospitalization increase morbidity and mortality. Although most COPD exacerbations are neutrophilic, approximately 10%-25% of exacerbations are eosinophilic. AIM We aimed to evaluate mortality and outcomes of eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic COPD exacerbations and identify new biomarkers that predict survival. METHODS A retrospective observational co...
