omental cysts occur rarely. patients with omental cysts usually present with abdominal distention and a painless abdominal mass. in children it may present as an acute abdomen due to intestinal obstruction. the most common physical finding of an omental cyst is a freely movable abdominal mass, which should be considered in differential diagnosis of these cases. the diagnostic procedures include...

traumatic abdominal wall hernias are a type of acquired hernia secondary to blunt trauma caused, by direct trauma from handlebar like objects. this rare hernia is named ‘handlebar hernia'. we report a case of such hernia without any significant intra-abdominal injury. the abdominal wall defect was repaired in layers by jones technique. postoperative course was uneventful. the authors recommend ...

conclusions the ph-dependent peppermint oil capsule and lactol tablet (bacillus coagulans+ fos) as synbiotics seem to be superior to placebo in decreasing the severity, duration and frequency of pain in abdominal pain-related functional gi disorders. background still there is no consensus on the best treatment for abdominal pain-related functional gastrointestinal disorders (fgids). objectives ...

endometriosis is described as the presence of functioning endometrial tissue (glands and stroma) outside the uterine cavity. the most common location is within the pelvis. however, extra pelvic endometriosis is a fairly uncommon disorder and difficult to diagnose. it can sometimes occur in a surgical scar. scar endometriosis is a rare condition and difficult to diagnose. it mostly follows obste...

in this paper, we have studied the electrical properties of the randomly distributed metallic (co and fe) nano/ micro wires on silicon substrate. deposition was carried out potentiostatically into the pores of the track-etch polycarbonate membrane spin coated onto the si substrate. spin coated films were irradiated with 150mev ni (+11) ions at a fluence of 8e7 ions/cm2, followed by uv irradiati...

background: this cross sectional study was conducted to evaluate the effect of &gamma-rays; and electron-beam irradiation with a commercial toxin binder-milbond-tx on the performance, feed components, and meat quality of japanese quails challenged with aflatoxin b1. methods: overall, 168 one-d-old chicks (japanese quails) were allocated to eight treatments with three replicates based on a compl...

background: radiotherapy has many side effects on fertilization in young women. radiation can lead to ovarian failure in women who underwent abdomen or pelvic radiotherapy. objective: this study helps us to investigate ovarian response of nmri female mice to ovarian stimulating hormones (pmsg, hcg) after whole-body gamma irradiation. materials and methods: 45 pregnant mice were divided into two...

the gamma irradiation has been used for end sterilization of allograft bones and its effects with a 25 kgy dosage on the osteoinductive properties of demineralized bone allograft powder was studied. this work carried out using an experimental method in an animal model. in this study the demineralized bone allograft powder which had been sterilized and prepared with gamma irradiation in a 25 kgy...

the effect of 10 and 25 kgy ?-irradiation on penicillin g plus procaine and sodium ampicillin has been assessed by different chemical and microbiological analytical methods. according to the chemical results obtained, the antibiotics showed a slight reduction in doses applied but the microbiological assays revealed that the activity of irradiated antibiotics did not reduce. microbiological stud...
