We reported a 14 months old boy referred for evaluation of chylous ascites to our nuclear medicine department. Tc-99m Phytate was injected subcutaneously in his calves and whole body images as well as abdominal SPECT were performed. The SPECT images could localize an area of several intestinal lymphangiomata in the abdominal region. The abnormal region was surgically resected and the patient as...

Clinical material studied. During the past I 5 months, I 15 cases of liver disease have been investigated in this Department by Hill (1951) and Hill & Rhodes (1951).

Objective(s): In this study, the effects of different doses of curcumin application on Ehrlich ascites tumor (EAT) created in the mice of BALB/c type were investigated.Materials and Methods: Curcumin extracts can have hindering effect on tumor volume, vascular density, EAT cells around the tissues, and can support apoptosis. EAT cells (1x106) received from stock animals were injected intraperit...

BACKGROUND Intractable ascites is one of the causes of graft loss after adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) using a small graft. Identification of factors associated with increasing posttransplant ascites has important implications for prevention and treatment.

Peritoneal ascites are a distinguishable feature of patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The presence of different lymphocyte subsets has been reported in EOC-associated ascites, which also can or not contain malignant cells. The goal of this study was to analyze the functional characteristics of natural killer (NK) cells from EOC-associated ascites in terms of their expressi...

Eosinophilic cholecystitis is a rare inflammatory condition encountered in surgical cholecystectomy specimens. In terms of histopathology, it is defined by transmural infiltration of eosinophils composing more than 90% of leukocytes. We here report a case of 19-year-old male admitted with thalassemia intermedia and with severe left upper quadrant pain. The patient underwent open splenectomy and...
