babesia ovis plays an important role in causing anemia and kidney dysfunction in affected animals. there are few extensive studies about hematological and biochemical findings of small ruminants' babesiosis caused by b. ovis. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of babesiosis on some hematological and biochemical parameters in infected small ruminants with b. ovis. a total of 280 sh...

immunoproliferative small intestinal disease (ipsid) is the syndrome associated with mediterranean lymphoma (a rare form of non-hodgkin’s lymphoma). many of the patients diagnosed with secretory ipsid have variable level of abnormal immunoglobulins in serum or other bodily fluids, identified as truncated alpha heavy chain globulins. most cases are characterized by a loss of ability to synthesiz...

we described a case of lymphoid follicular hyperplasia that arose from the ileum of a 52-year-old woman. her colonoscopy revealed a large mass in the cecum associated with multiple polypoid lesions in the ileum. histologic examination demonstrated severe lymphocytic infiltration and lymphoid follicles with regular germinal centers, without evidence of malignancy. a right hemicolectomy was perfo...

background : small ruminants’ babesiosis caused by babesia ovis, is transmitted during blood feeding by infected ticks and is the most economically important tick-borne disease in tropical and subtropical areas. this study was carried out to to estimate the infection rate of b. ovis in sheep and goats by pcr. we have analysed risk factors that might influence infection of sheep and goats with b...

background: cisplatin-based chemotherapy is the standard treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (nsclc). many novel drugs, including gemcitabine, vinorelbine, paclitaxel and docetaxel have been used in combination with cisplatin in this setting. of these drugs, gemcitabine is reported to have a high response rate and acceptable toxicity. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effi...

the aim of this work was to study the possibility of using a new commercial polyester/cotton fabric to repair large sized umbilical and abdominal hernias in calves and small ruminants. twenty-four animals (16 calves, 3 buffalo calves, 4 sheep, 1 goat) with umbilical or abdominal hernia were included in this study. the diameter of hernial ring ranged from (12-25) cm. an underlay technique was us...

abstract carcinoid tumors are well differentiated neuroendocrine tumors with secretory components. these tumors are uncommon but the most common primary tumors of the distal small intestine. we present a rare terminal ileum carcinoid tumor presenting with a small bowel obstruction. a 65 years old man presented with intermittent, gen-eralized, dull and colicky abdominal pain accompanied with int...

todays, the only thing that can be trusted all over the world is lack of confidence. all organizations need to innovate to comply with the wavy environment and the innovation by itself has a vital role in moving toward the comparative advantage and supreme performance. although many researches have already investigated the effect of innovation on the performance, it seems that, in future, lack ...

femoral hernias account for 2% to 4% of groin hernias, are more common in women, and are more appropriate to present with strangulation and require emergency surgery. this condition may lead to symptoms of bowel obstruction or strangulation and possible bowel resection-anastomosis. to the best of our knowledge, there is few reports of strangulated femoral hernia. we herein present an 82-year-ol...

background: transport of the critically ill patient is potentially risky and the transport team should be careful in making decision and be prepared to deal with them in any condition. our physicians are not qualified in safe transport. we want to evaluate the effect of small group teaching method for promotion of physicians' skills in transport of critically ill patients. methods: in an interv...
