Phlebosclerosis of the mesenteric vein is a rare cause of ischemic colitis. The clinicopathologic findings of chronic phlebosclerotic ischemic colitis are different from conventional ischemic colitis. We report a case showing the following features: (1) plain abdominal radiography-vascular calcifications at the ascending colon and transverse colon, (2) abdominal computed tomography (CT) colonic...

A, CT image of linitis plastica (arrows denote a thickened gastric wall); B, endoscopic image; tumors located in the antrum, vomiting and gastric outlet obstruction may occur.. Gastric Cancer: Causes. centric in 4%. The mean (± SD) antral wall thickness was 5.1 ± 1.6 mm.. . group was statistically significant (p < 0.001).

Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is a rare benign lesion of the gastrointestinal tract. We report a case of computed tomography (CT) imaging finding of a gastric IFP with massive fibrosis. CT scans showed thickening of submucosal layer with overlying mucosal hyperenhancement in the gastric antrum. The submucosal layer showed increased enhancement on delayed phase imaging. An antrectomy with gas...

1. Dogs develop severe gastrointestinal symptoms in response to intraintestinal administration of staphylococcal enterotoxin. These symptoms are salivation, vomiting, and diarrhea. 2. Staphylococcal enterotoxin induces acute enteritis marked by edema, hyperemia, round cell infiltration, mucosal exudation, and destruction of intestinal villi. 3. Prolonged administration of enterotoxin into the l...

This study was undertaken to investigate the possible effect of hydroalcoholic root extract of Rubia cordifolia against indomethacin-induced enterocolitis in rats. Male Wistar rats received vehicle or hydroalcoholic root extract of Rubia cordifolia (300 and 600 mg/kg) for 11 consecutive days. Enterocolitis was induced by subcutaneous administration of indomethacin (7.5 mg/kg) on 8(th) and 9(th)...

OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical picture, test results, and clinical evolution of patients with cerebral palsy associated with diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis, monitored at tertiary centre. METHODS Cross-sectional, retrospective and descriptive study that evaluated the medical records data of pediatric patients with diagnosis of cerebral palsy and eosinophilic esophagitis in a tertiar...

Recently, a number of clinical and animal studies have been published suggesting the advantages of using immediate post-extraction implants under a flapless protocol, followed by the simultaneous placement of an implant-supported provisional restoration (Trimodal Approach [TA]). Indications and risk of complications of this therapeutic option have also been thoroughly discussed in the literatur...

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is defined as primary eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract. Endoscopic findings of this disease entity are non-specific, and huge gastric ulceration as initial presentation is extremely rare. We experienced a case of eosinophilic gastroenteritis presenting with abdominal pain in a 38 year-old-woman. Deep and huge ulceration in gastric antrum and b...

Mucosal thickening is one key radiographic features chronic The aim this study was identify location AMOs and investigate association between Thickening [MT] AMO using Cone Beam Computed Tomography [CBCT]. Methods CBCT scans 400 sinuses from records 200 patients who seeked various dental...
