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 ...

Accumulation of fluid as ascites is the most common complication of cirrhosis. This is occurring in about 50% of patients within 10 years of the diagnosis of cirrhosis. It is a prognostic signwith 1-year and 5-year survival of 85% and 56%, respectively. The most acceptable theory for ascites formation is peripheral arterial vasodilation leading to underfilling of circulatory volume. This trigge...

Ascites is the pathologic fluid accumulation within the peritoneal cavity. Ascitic fluid represents a state of total-body sodium and water excess. Its Etiology includesgastrointestinal, genitourinary, cardiac and metabolic disorders, infections, haematologic and chromosomal abnormalities. Causes neonatal ascites are different from infants and children group. Most cases of ascites are due to liv...

Reducing the Incidence of Ascites in Broiler Flocks Ensure adequate ventilation from placement to depletion. 1. Ventilation rates should be linked to house biomass, supplying enough air to replenish the oxygen consumed and ensure the adequate removal of waste gases. Providing sufficient oxygen is vital at high altitudes. Oxygen is a constant percentage of air, but at low atmospheric pressures a...

An early decision of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt may be considered for non-malignant and non-cirrhotic portal vein thrombosis with ascites: a concise review of the theoretical possibility and practical difficulty Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is rarely encountered in the absence of abdominal malignancy or cirrhosis [1]. At the acute stage of PVT, most patients present with abdo...

Small interfering RNA (siRNA) offers a great potential for the treatment of various diseases and disorders. Nevertheless, inefficient in vivo siRNA delivery hampers its translation into the clinic. While numerous successful in vitro siRNA delivery stories exist in reduced-protein conditions, most studies so far overlook the influence of the biological fluids present in the in vivo environment. ...

Cirrhotic patients (23 with alcoholic cirrhosis, 5 with posthepatitic cirrhosis and 2 with cryptogenic cirrhosis) with ascites and portal hypertension were studied and divided into two groups corresponding to high or low risk to develop spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) related to the concentration of total protein in the ascitic fluid (A-TP): group I (high risk): A-TP < or = 1.5 g/dl and...

Malignant ascites is a manifestation of end stage events in a variety of cancers with significant morbidity and a poor prognosis.This study prospectively evaluated factors predicting poor prognosis in patients with malignant ascites. Clinico-pathologic data of patients with malignant ascites at our institution over a period of 18 months were prospectively analysed. Predictors of poor survival w...

It is now well established that the type la of serine/threonine protein phosphatases (PP1α) may be implicated in malignant phenotype. Although the PP1α mRNA level increased in livers at preneoplastic stages of hepatocarinogenesis and all of examined rat ascites hepatomas, unexpectedly, dramatically decreased in some of primary hepatomas. In order to elucidate the low level of PP1α mRNA in some ...
