introduction: the immunogenicity of crude amoebic antigen and its fractions preparedfrom entamoeba histolytica (nih:200) was evaluated in experimental animals. material and methods: forty two guinea pigs of either sex free from entamoebainfection and aged around 3 to 4 weeks were randomly divided into 5 groups. the treatedgroups consisted of 8, 10, 6, and 8 animals and 10 animals served as cont...

Magnetic resonance imaging, MRI has more advantages than ultrasound, computed tomography, CT, positron emission tomography, PET, or any other imaging modality in diagnosing focal hepatic masses. With a combination of basic T1 and T2 weighted sequences, diffusion weighted imaging, DWI, and hepatobiliary gadolinium contrast agents, that is gadobenate dimeglumine (Gd-BOPTA) and gadoxetic acid (Gd-...

Clinical Evaluation The clinical evaluation of liver mass lesions begins with a careful history and physical examination. Historical features will often give clues to the underlying diagnosis. For example a history of chronic hepatitis or the features or complications of liver cirrhosis is helpful in determining if individuals are at risk for hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangioc...

AIM To determine the correct therapeutic approach to the different grades of liver trauma. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study is based on a retrospective analysis of treatment outcomes in 56 patients with abdominal trauma admitted over a 9-year period to in the IIIrd Surgical Clinic of the Iasi "Sf. Spiridon" Hospital. It is focused on operative or non-operative management of liver trauma, surgic...

Magnetic resonance signal intensity of focal liver lesions is the result of their histological and cytological features. Therefore, analysis of lesion signal intensity and enhancement patterns obtained with magnetic resonance imaging is essential for the differential diagnosis of focal liver lesions. In this article, we review the magnetic resonance imaging features of the most common focal liv...

The significant prevalence of mass lesions in the liver among the general population has prompted the emphasis on understanding each of the condition’s clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment. Another reason to fully understand the characteristics of the different space-occupying lesions in the liver is the fact that the treatment varies depending on the type of lesion found in the live...
