Objective: To report a rare case of urachal remnant cyst mimicking benign ovarian cyst.

We describe an unusual case of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) in a patient with chronic pulmonary disease. A 79-year-old woman was hospitalized due to abdominal fullness and bowel habit change. Colonoscopy revealed numerous round cystic lesions in the sigmoid colon, which bled easily on contact. Due to persistent local peritonitis, a left hemicolectomy with primary anastomosis was per...

Macroalgae are considered as primary producers in ecosystem food chain. This study investigated spatial and temporal variation of three species of macroalgae namely, Laurencia caspica (red macroalga) Enteromorpha intestinalis and Cladophora glomerata (green macroalgae) on the hard substrates of the southern Caspian Sea coasts and their relation with environmental factors. Seasonal sampling pref...

INTRODUCTION Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis is characterized by the presence of multiple gas-filled cysts in the intestinal wall, the submucosa and/or subserosa of the intestine. The term pneumatosis cystoides coli is synonymous with pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis when the disorder is limited to the colon. It is a secondary finding caused by a wide variety of underlying gastrointestinal...

Rabbit coccidiosis is a very serious disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Eimeria, which increases production rate free radicals, especially reactive oxygen species. When generation radicals exceeds scavenging capacity body’s antioxidant system, oxidant-antioxidant balance broken, resulting in oxidative stress. This study was designed to investigate effect on status rabbits infect...
