non-alcoholic steatohepatitis presenting as metastatic liver masses

non-alcoholic steatohepatitis is a form of chronic hepatitis. fatty degeneration may involve liver focally or as a whole. the patient was a 41-year-old woman who was diabetic and admitted in buali hospital in ghazvin because of right flank pain, fever, vomiting and diarrhea. the patient was treated as pyelonephriris. liver function tests were as below: alt: 62 (40) ast: 54 (40), alkaline phosoh...

Liver masses: a clinical, radiologic, and pathologic perspective.

Liver masses present a relatively common clinical dilemma, particularly with the increasing use of various imaging modalities in the diagnosis of abdominal and other symptoms. The accurate and reliable determination of the nature of the liver mass is critical, not only to reassure individuals with benign lesions but also, and perhaps more importantly, to ensure that malignant lesions are diagno...

Approach to Solid Liver Masses in the Cirrhotic Patient

Liver masses in cirrhosis are increasingly being recognized with the use of new imaging modalities. The majority of these lesions are detected by ultrasound, enhanced CT and MRI. The most likely diagnosis of a solid liver lesion in a cirrhotic liver is hepatocellular carcinoma, followed by high grade or low grade dysplastic nodule, and cholangiocarcinoma. Lymphoma and liver metastasis are extre...

Magnetic Moments, Hadron Masses, and Quark Masses

Two independent quark-model predictions of the A magnetic moments, in agreement with one another and with experiment to 1%, are obtained by using two different inputs for SU(3) breaking in quark masses: (1) (m, /m„) =(Mq. —Mq)/(M~-Mn); and (2) m, —ni„ =M p, —Mz. I discuss the implications of the surprising sucess of a description of quark magnetic moments as Dirac moments with quark masses rela...
