background & objectives: colon cancer is currently of high incidence and mortality rate. identifying the factors influencing its prognosis can be very beneficial to its clinical treatment. recent studies have shown that lymph nodes ratio can be considered as an important prognostic factor. the aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of this factor on the prognosis of the patie...

Methods We describe two similar cases of disseminated penicillosis presenting with fever and weight loss with multiple mesenteric lymphadenopathy and skin lesion, clinically mimicking extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Penicilliosis was diagnosed by usg guided FNAC of mesenteric LN. P. marneffei was confirmed by microscopy and cultured, onto sabouraud dextrose agar. The cases were treated with oral i...

burkitt's lymphoma is a lymphatic tumor classified as non-hodgkin lymphoma with small non cleaved cells. the disease has an incidence of two cases per million patients in north america, and usually present with an intra-abdominal tumor, or enlarged cervical lymph nodes. massive amounts of peritoneal and plural fluid is rarely seen in these patients. a three year-old girl presented with massive ...

The basis for the high incidence of infectious complications in portal hypertension (PHT) remains unclear. The hypothesis that PHT induces bacterial translocation (BT) was tested in a rat model with or without mono-association with streptomycin resistant Escherichia coli C25 and with or without hypovolemic shock. PHT was achieved by partial portal vein ligation and three weeks later hypovolemic...

The efficacy of bacterial cultures and IS900-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was compared for the detection of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) from the mesenteric lymph nodes of goats. Samples were collected from 75 goats slaughtered in Ilam, in southwest of Iran. Tissue homogenates were inoculated onto four media. The genomic DNA was extracted directly from mesenteri...
