A 61-year-old Chinese male was found to have a lesion in the left liver on routine body check-up. Laboratory tests revealed no abnormalities except for a rise in C-reactive protein (CRP). Computed tomography (CT) showed features suggestive of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The patient underwent liver IVb segmentectomy and cholecystectomy. Histopathology showed features of hepatic inflammatory ...

OBJECTIVES To define the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the ultrasound triangular cord sign and hepatic histopathology, in isolation or in combination, for diagnostic differentiation between biliary atresia and intrahepatic cholestasis. METHODS This was a retrospective study carried out between January 1990 and December 2004. Fifty-one cases of biliary atresia and 45 of intrahepatic...

Background: Diabetes produces free radicals and damages the liver. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Rosmarinus Officinalis leaf hydroalcoholic extract on histopathology and enzymes activity of liver in alloxan induced diabetic rats. Methods: In this study, 50 adult male Wistar rats weighing 200 to 250 grams, were divided randomly into 5 groups of 10; non-diabetic control...

Allopurinol is used to reduce total uric acid levels in the body into oxypurinol which can inhibit xanthine oxidase. inhibits precursors of formation, xanthine, and hypoxanthine. However, consumption drugs cause side effects on liver. The aim research was determine effect allopurinol induction liver histopathology male mice (Mus musculus) DDY strain. method this an experimental design post-test...

Isolated hepatic tuberculoma is localized hepatic tuberculosis (TB) without bile duct involvement, which presents as solitary or multiple nodular mass lesion of liver mimicking a neoplastic lesion in radiological evaluation. Clinical presentation and biochemical tests for liver functions show non-specific abnormality, which is not helpful for diagnosis. As the treatment, modality of isolated he...

Objective: The toxic effects of sublethal concentrations of endosulfan on Oreochromis niloticus was examined using bioaccumulation and histopathology studies of the liver as toxicological endpoint.  Methods: The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development #407 recommended static renewal bioassay was employed during the test .The test fish were exposed to sub-lethal concentrat...

Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 (PFIC2) is a rapidly developing hepatic disease that leads to early childhood cirrhosis and liver failure. We present a diagnostically challenging case of a 20-year-old male with 8 years history of recurrent icteric episodes and constantly normal serum levels of GGT. Genetic study disclosed two novel mutations in gene ABCB11 and liver histopa...

A method for automatic 2D image registration based on combining multiple row-wise and column-wise dynamic programming (DP) processes is presented. Combination is performed by means of a parametric transform (either rigid or non-rigid) which is estimated from the output of the dynamic programming processes. The method performs particularly well on histopathology images as dynamic programming is ...
