Primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of liver is a very rare malignancy. Here we report a case of primary hepatic Burkitt’s lymphoma in a 34-year old man who was known case of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and presented with weight loss, abdominal pain, and fever. Positive laboratory findings were mild anemia and elevated levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and alkaline phosphatase (AL...

Introduction: The present study was conducted with the aim of designing a liver phantom for dosimetry. To benchmark the results obtained by the developed liver phantom, another method was applied for the dosimetry of a real liver tissue using imaging. Materials and Methods: For the purpose of the study, a real liver tissue was converted into a phantom based on thegram-molecular weight of the co...

BACKGROUND Cross-sectional studies have identified a high intake of simple sugars as an important dietary factor predicting nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). OBJECTIVE We examined whether overfeeding overweight subjects with simple sugars increases liver fat and de novo lipogenesis (DNL) and whether this is reversible by weight loss. DESIGN Sixteen subjects [BMI (kg/m²): 30.6 ± 1.2]...

Examples of substances reported to stimulate liver growth are few. Coramine (nikethamide, or diethylnicotinamide) causes an increase in the absolute, fat-free weight of the liver of the young rat and would appear to qualify as one of these. The effect was first noted by Coulson and Brazda in 1947 (5) in 45-50-gm. rats fed 1.0 per cent levels of Coramine in a high protein diet. It was an un expe...

1. A cereal-based diet containing 7.6 mg copper/kg was fed ad lib. to laying hens for up to 48 d. Four other groups were given the control diet to which was added hydrated copper sulphate to provide 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 mg added Cu/kg. 2. Hens were killed on day 0 and after 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 d. Records were kept of body-weight, food consumption, egg production and egg weight. 3. After slau...

The present study was carried out in 2011 to measure concentration of heavy metals chromium and tin in liver and muscle tissue of Liza aurata (golden grey mullet) in estuaries of the rivers Babolroud, Tajan and Gorganroud. Accordingly, after sampling the target are asandisolating muscle (18samples) and liver (18samples) tissues, they were digested and analyzed using Graphite Furnace Atomic Abso...

The present study deals with the changes in relative body and liver weights of mice treated with different doses of cythion (Organophosphate insecticide) ranging from 10, 50, 100 and 500mg/kg/day diet. Cythion concentration of 500 mg/kg/day diet at 90 days produced a significant increased in body weight as compared to untreated mice. Liver weight also showed dramatically more pronounced after 1...

BACKGROUND Hemodynamic changes in the liver remnant following partial hepatectomy (PHx) have been suggested to be a primary stimulus in triggering liver regeneration. We hypothesized that it is the increased sinusoidal flow per se and hence the shear-stress stimulus on the endothelial surface within the liver remnant which is the main stimulus to regeneration. In order to test this hypothesis w...

Adult mallard ducks and northern bobwhite quail were exposed to 0, 10, 50, or 150mg perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS)/kg in the diet for up to 21 weeks. Adult health, body and liver weight, feed consumption, gross morphology and histology of body organs, and reproduction were examined. Due to mortality, birds exposed to 50 or 150mg PFOS/kg feed were terminated by Week 7. In quail, the lowest obs...

effect of early- feeding of broiler chicks immediately after hatch with gel or granule, on performance, the relative weight of yolk sac, liver, proventricolus, gizzard and the relative weight of weight and length of small intestine were investigated. analyzing the data by using sas statistical program including complete randomly design and duncan test, showed that post hatch feeding of gel, cou...
