hydatid disease, caused by echinococcusgranulosus, is a common parasitic infection of the liver. disseminated intra-abdominal hydatid disease may occur with the rupture of the hydatid cyst into the peritoneal cavity, producing secondary echinococcosis. but primary hydatid cyst in the pelvis is rare. we report a case of bilateral hydatid cyst of the pelvis in a 53years old woman presented with a...

background all conditions that interfere with blood flow at any level within the portal system can lead to portal hypertension. for better management of this disorder, it is important to determine the underlying cause. in previ­ous studies, extra-hepatic disorders have been reported as the main cause of portal hypertension in children. in this study, we investigate the under­lying causes of por...

conclusions capillaria hepatica should be considered in differential diagnoses in any child with fever, hepatomegaly, eosinophilia and hyperglobulinemia. case presentation the current paper reports a case of capillaria hepatica infection in a four-year-old boy which presented with fever, hepatomegaly, peripheral eosinophilia, and noticeable weight loss. the diagnosis was made on the histologica...

background the identification of the dorsal sector of the liver and its detailed vascular anatomy is of primary importance for surgical practice and segmental transcatheter arterial chemoembolization. objectives this study aimed to investigate the feeding arteries of tumors in dorsal sector of the liver. patients and methods computed tomography (ct) and digital subtraction angiography (dsa) ima...

coincidental occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) and cholangiocarcinoma, known as “collision tumors”, within a cirrhotic liver is rare. herein, we report a case of liver transplantation (lt) in a patient with such collision tumors. our patient was a 56-year-old woman with hepatitis c virus-related cirrhosis and 2 focal hepatic lesions, measuring 1.5 and 3 cm, in the liver segments 8 an...

objective(s):diabetes plays an important role in the induction of the liver injury. grape seed proanthocyanidin (gsp) have a wide range of medicinal properties against oxidative stress. in this study we evaluated antioxidant effects of gsp on liver in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. materials and methods: thirty male sprague–dawley rats were divided into three groups: control, untreated d...

noise-induced hearing loss (nihl) is the most common complication of long-term noise exposure, though there  are  some  other  complications  due  to  exposure  to  noise.  metabolic  complications  of  the  noise exposure are being evaluated in recent studies. we aimed to assess the relationship between nihl and lipid profile, and fasting blood sugar (fbs). in this cross-sectional  study, 462 ...

Objective(s): Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is one of the major causes of hepatic failure during liver transplantation, trauma, and infections. The present study investigated the protective effect of intra-portal administration of 2-methoxycinnamaldehyde (2-MCA) on hepatic IRI in rats. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four rats ...

objective(s):to clarify the protective effects of cichorium glandulosum (cg) extracts on thioacetamide (taa)-induced rat hepatic fibrosis. materials and methods: the dry roots of cg were smashed and percolated with 95% ethanol, and the residual was prepared into petroleum ether extract (cg-v), ethyl acetate extract (cg-vi) and n-butyl alcohol extract (cg-vii). thirty-six wistar rats were random...
