A 28-year-old man from East Mediterranean area admitted with abdominal pain, weight loss and diarrhea. Barium x-ray studies showed segmentation, dilatation of bowel loops, mucosal folds thickening and delayed intestinal transit. Histological examination of biopsy specimens revealed villous atrophy and plasmacytic infiltration limited to mucosa and submucosa. Computed tomography showed multiple ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of targeted cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition in reducing scarring associated with a subglottic airway mucosal injury. DESIGN Thirty-four New Zealand white rabbits underwent anterior cricothyroidotomy. Subglottic stenosis (SGS) was created by carbon dioxide laser injury. INTERVENTION Treatment consisted of intraperitoneal injection of celecoxib or vehicle for 4 days...

flow characteristics and rheological parameters of “malas yazdi” pomegranate (punica granatum l.) juice were investigated using rotational viscometer at different temperatures (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70ºc) and concentrations (12, 22, 32, 42 and 52º brix). the experimental data had the best fitness with herschel-bulkley model and the values of flow behavior index (n) varied between 0.97 and ...

Proliferative enteropathy (PE) caused by Lawsonia intracellularis has emerged as a significant equine pathogen in recent years. Early diagnosis of this disease allows prompt initiation of appropriate therapy to help decrease the severity of this disease. Lawsonia intracellularis is an obligate intracellular, gram-negative, curve-shaped bacteria. In pigs, the organism results in lesions in the l...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: This study aimed to assess maxillary sinus floor membrane thickness and ostium patency (OP) in patients undergoing cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) evaluation for implant placement in the posterior maxilla. Mucosal thickening (MT) could be cause of post-operative complications in implant procedures; awareness of this incidence could help proper detection and further succ...

Background: Helicobacter pylori can colonize the submucosal layer as well mucosa in stomach. Inflammation and erosions cause both mucosal thickening patients with gastritis. Elastography is a method for measuring elasticity hardness of tissues by visualization their response to applied force. Hard respond compression differently compared soft tissues. displace whole without deforming opposed In...

Abstract Background Chronic rhinosinusitis represents an important health care problem in the world. Deviated nasal septum leads to increased chance of impaired mucociliary clearance, osteomeatal complex obstruction, and development rhinosinusitis. Studies have revealed role septoplasty curing chronic patients with significant septal deviation. The purpose this study is reveal alone or combined...

Plant extracts, or phytonutrients, are used in traditional medicine practices as supplements to enhance the immune system and gain resistance to various infectious diseases and are used in animal production as health promoting feed additives. To date, there are no studies that have assessed their mechanism of action and ability to alter mucosal immune responses in the intestine. We characterize...

Reinke's edema is a benign disease of the human vocal fold, which mainly affects the sub-epithelial layer of the vocal fold. Microscopic observations show a strongly oedematous epithelium with loosened intercellular junctions, a disruption of the extracellular connections between mucosal epithelium and connective tissue, closely adherent to the thyroarytenoid muscle. Thickening of the basal lay...
