gastrointestinal (gi) bleeding in pediatric patients has several causes. vascular malformation of the small bowel is a rare disease leading to pediatric gi bleeding. to our knowledge, few reports describe ultrasound and computed tomography findings of venous malformations involving the small bowel. we present a case of long-segmental and circumferential vascular malformation that led to gi blee...

an experiment was conducted on broiler chickens to study the effects of conjugated linoleic acid (cla), fish oil, both at 7% of the diet, or their mixtures at 3.5% of the diet, on the performance, carcass traits and intestinal morphology of broiler chickens. the chicks fed with 7% fish oil or 7% cla diets, were found to have an inferior weight gain in grower and finisher phases, respectively. a...

abstract- lactic acid bacteria are commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract of various endothermic animals and humans, in milk, dairy and seafood products and on some plant surfaces. the aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of isolated lactic acid bacteria from intestines of narrow-barred spanish mackerel (scomberomorus commerson) on listeria innocua growth. five strai...

the protective effects of rheum tanguticum polysaccharide 1 (rtp1), which is extracted from the chinese traditional medicine rheum tanguticum, on radiation-induced intestinal mucosal injury was investigated. rat intestinal crypt epithelial cells (iec-6 cells) and sprague-dawley rats were each divided into control, irradiated and rtp1-pretreated irradiated groups. after irradiation, cell surviva...

Increased efficiency of nutrient utilization can potentially be gained with increased starch digestion in the small intestine ruminants. However, ruminants have quantitative limits extent disappearance intestine. The objective is to explore nutritional and physiological constraints that contribute limitations carbohydrate assimilation ruminant Altered digesta composition passage rate intestine,...

This study was conducted to identify intestinal helminthes parasites. The helminthes fauna is collected from body cavity and intestines of 108 specimens of Brachirus orientalis which were obtained from Abadan port (waterfront) and investigated during the years 2009-2010. Most of the 4 species of helminthes were found in the intestine and body cavity of the examined fishes. The helminthes found ...

Variations in the basic parameters of electrical activity small intestine rats were studied using an experimental model hypochlorhydria caused by intragastric administration rabeprazole for 16 days. Hypochlorhydria was found to lead increased duration irregular electric and a reduction period quiescence, which indicates increase uncoordinated contractions intestine. A decrease number migrating ...

The gut transit rate of ingested feed in fish affects the utilization dietary nutrients; however, influence water temperature, remains underexplored Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). present study quantified four distinct regions gastrointestinal tract (stomach, pyloric caeca, small and large intestine) post-smolt at two temperatures; 11 20°C, by feeding a diet incorporated with Ballotini beads.
