UNLABELLED McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome (MWS) is a rare consequence of severe dehydration and electrolyte depletion due to mucinous diarrhoea secondary to a rectosigmoid villous adenoma. Reported cases of MWS commonly describe hypersecretion of mucinous diarrhoea in association with dehydration, hypokalaemia, hyponatraemia, hypochloraemia and pre-renal azotemia. Hyperglycaemia and diabetes are ...

exogenous enzymes such as xylanase can cause recovery of efficiency in poultry. in this study we investigated the effects of xylanase supplementation on small intestine histomorphometry in broilers chicken. two levels of xylanase supplementation (with or without 0.07% xylanase) was used in 4 treatment groups (two repetitions for each group and 15 chicks per group). after 42 days, 10 chicks from...

BACKGROUND In the human placenta, maternal and fetal bloods exchange substances through the surface of the villous trees: the fetal blood circulates in the villous trees, around which the maternal blood circulates. The blood flows directly influence fetal growth. Stem villi, the main supports of the villous tree, have contractile cells along the axes, whose contractions are expected to influenc...

a 62-year-old woman complaining of severe malabsorption was diagnosed with celiac disease based on the findings of flat, small intestinal mucosa and hla-dq2 positivity, although celiac serology was negative. this diagnosis was questioned due to the lack of clinical and histological improvement after a long period of strict gluten-free diet. the detection of enterocyte autoantibodies guided to t...

Villous adenomas occur most frequently in the rectum and colon. These tumors are rarely seen in the gallbladder. We report a case of gallbladder villous adenomas in a 69-year-old patient who has systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The patient was admitted for investigation of a gallbladder mass. Ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging showed two well-circumscribed l...

Introduction: Early recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major risk factor affecting survival even after hepatectomy. Many clinical, biochemical parameters and pathological grading like fibrosis 1 index have been used for risk stratifying HCC. However not many studies have combined all of them. It is therefore important to risk stratify HCC especially with newer PE...
