BACKGROUND Virulent Newcastle disease virus (NDV) was reported to cause rapid depletion of chicken bursa of Fabricius. Severe pathological condition of the organ is commonly associated with high levels of virus replication, intense inflammatory response and also the degree of apoptosis. In this study, the responses of chicken bursa of Fabricius infected with two different strains of velogenic N...

Codlurn bursa, a balloon-llke chloroph~cean macroalga, ach~eves cons~derable biomass (300 g DW m-') In the NW Mediterranean httoral C bursa grows as a hollow sphere ranging in slze up to 40 cm In d~ameter , where the t h ~ c k algal thallus (-0 5 cm) encloses a lumen fllled w ~ t h seawater that receives substantial amounts of organlc carbon from the thallus The water enclosed within C bursa su...

The present study describes a case of leg lymphedema due to iliopectineal bursitis associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which was satisfactorily controlled by surgery and combination therapy with methotrexate (MTX) and tacrolimus. A 68-year-old male, who had a six-year history of RA, developed an iliopectineal bursa associated with destruction of the hip joint. The mass gradually increase...

Five adult female goats were brought to our veterinary hospital with infertility. Ultrasonography showed what seemed to be hydrometra or cystic lesion in the genital region of 18-month-old twin local breed female goats. After slaughter of the does and excision of the genital tract, a macroscopic examination revealed bilateral hydrosalpinx and extreme dilation of the ovarian bursa with complete ...

A total of 100, day-old broiler chicks were randomly divided into 5 equal groups and kept under elevated temperature (93-97F) to see the effect of ascorbic acid and acetylsalicylic acid on the feed conversion ratio (FCR), immune status and ratio of weight of bursa, thymus and spleen to body weight. Heat stress increased the FCR but decreased the immune response and ratio of bursa, thymus and sp...

The central cell is the binucleate cell of the angiosperm megagametophyte which contains the polar nuclei and participates in double fertilization. The structure of the mature central cell, the fusion of the polar nuclei and the primary endosperm nucleus were studied with the electron microscope. The central cell cytoplasm appears very active and has an extensive ER, many mitochondria, dictyoso...

BACKGROUND Normally, the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa is thinner than 2 mm using ultrasound examination. The subtle thickening of the bursa could be an early sign of subacromial impingement and possibly a rotator cuff tear. The aim of this study was to compare the thickness of subacromial bursa measured using ultrasonography in the painful shoulder with normal side, and also to differentiate Ne...

BACKGROUND The pes anserine bursa lies beneath the pes anserine tendon, which is the insertional tendon of the sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus muscles on the medial side of the tibia, but it can lie in different sites in the medial knee. Accurate diagnosis of the position of the bursa is critical for diagnostic and therapeutic goals. The aim of this study was to evaluate sonoanatomic va...
