Carcinoid tumors are rare but diverse group of malignancies that arise from neuroendocrine cells. Skeletal muscle metastasis is exceedingly rare and is associated with a poor prognosis. We report a case of carcinoid tumor of the ileocecal with skeletal muscle metastasis. We also review available case reports of carcinoid tumors metastasizing to the muscle.

BACKGROUND Visceral pain is a common symptom of several gastrointestinal disorders. Despite tremendous progress in understanding its basic mechanisms, it remains a significant health challenge for clinicians. The present study quantified the intensity of visceral pain using ileocecal ligament traction on an inflamed ileum in goats. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 36 male goats weighing 20.05...

Modern research indicates a possible synergistic effect of bacterial-protozoal infestations in the pathology upper gastrointestinal tract, among which special attention is paid to problem giardiasis. Other parasitic agents, particular Blastocystis spp, are also gaining some significance.

Here we report a novel approach for preparation of a 6-day transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS) as treatment for mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. The spray drying method was used to prepare microparticles containing the anti-Alzheimer drug. The content of the drug was determined by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method. The morphology and size range of the microparticles ...

the dynamic response of a transversely isotropic, linearly elastic layer bonded to the surface of a half-space of a different transversely isotropic material under arbitrary shape surface loads is considered. with the help of displacements and stresses green’s functions, an analytical formulation is presented for the determination of the displacements and stresses at any point in both surface l...

Meckel's diverticulum is found in 2% of the population, which makes it commonest congenital abnormality gastrointestinal tract. It diagnosed as an incidental finding during surgery for other reasons. 100 cm from ileocecal junction, at antimesenteric border. Other presentations can be abdominal pain, infection, bleeding ectopic mucosa, recurrent intestinal obstruction, etc. formed embryonic peri...

abstract competition is a phenomenon that influences the size, structure and stability of insect communities, particularly on solitary endoparasitoids species. although, competition normally incurs costs, it might be adaptive for the surviving individual. to determine which factors affect the patch use strategy of foragers under competition, the effect of previous experience with hosts already-...
