A young man was admitted due to gastrointestinal obstruction and was diagnosed as having cocoon peritonitis secondary to perforated appendicitis. He suffered from small intestine partial obstruction because of multiple adhesion bands whose obstructive symptoms completely resolved after single balloon enteroscopy. So balloon enteroscopy could be offered as a therapeutic option for partial small ...

The challenging task of breeders is to develop silkworm breeds which can produce eggs under prevailing conditions of temperature and humidity. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the reproductive potential of single and double hybrids under high temperature and high humidity as well as high temperature and low humidity conditions of the tropics. The moth emergence percentage, laying re...

one hundred forty-four 26-wk-old white hy-line layers (w-36) were fed commercial diets containing 0, 1.5, 3 and 5% surplus date for three period of 28 days each to study the effects of dietary surplus date on hen performance (egg production, egg weight, egg mass, feed intake, feed conversion ratio ‘fcr’ and body weight gain) and egg quality parameters (haugh unit score, yolk colour index, yolk ...

the present study was carried out to investigate the effect of corn replacement by different levels of wheat with supplementation of phytase with reduced phosphorus level for laying hens. two hundred seventy nine layer hens (the strains of hy-line w36) at the 53th week of age, selected based on the same egg production percentage and body weight, assigned in a factorial arrangement with complete...

Sericulture or silk farming is the rearing of silkworms for the production of raw silk. The mulberry silkworm, Bombyx mori, is a domesticated and monophagous insect which feeds only on the leaves of mulberry for its nutrition. Thiadiazoles are heterocyclic compounds containing oxygen and nitrogen. 1, 3, 4, thiadiazoles are extensively studied and are known to play diverse biological activities....

Abdominal Cocoon Syndrome (ACS) or sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis is characterized by intestinal obstruction and ileus as a result of encasement of small intestines totally or partially by a thick fibrous sac. We herein present a patient undergoing Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) therapy for chronic renal failure for 3 years who developed intestinal obstruction and perfor...

High-level SDN languages raise the level of abstraction in SDN programming from managing individual switches to programming network-wide policies. In this talk, we present Cocoon (for Correct by Construction Networking), an SDN programming language designed around the idea of iterative refinement. The network programmer starts with a high-level description of the desired network behavior, focus...

Monodontomerus aeneus (Fonscolombe) is a parasitic wasp that oviposits on the prepupae and pupae of Osmia cornuta (Latreille) and other solitary bee species. A two-armed olfactometer was used to test the olfactory attractiveness of O. cornuta prepupae, cocoon, and larval frass to female M. aeneus. Both cocoon and frass attracted the female parasitoids, but frass alone was more attractive than t...

Abdominal cocoon is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction. The abdominal cocoon is probably a developmental abnormality, largely asymptomatic, and is found incidentally at laparotomy or autopsy. Pre-operative diagnosis cannot be often made correctly. This rare entity of intestinal obstruction has been described in the whole literature as a thick fibrotic sac covering the small bowel partially ...
