BACKGROUND AND AIM Narrow band imaging with magnification enables detailed assessment of duodenal villi and may be useful in predicting the presence of villous atrophy or normal villi. We aimed to assess the morphology of duodenal villi using magnification narrow band imaging and correlate it with histology findings in patients with clinically suspected malabsorption syndrome. METHODS Patient...

The isolation of viable enterocytes, villi and crypts from the small intestine of a feral bird (Columba livia) is important for performing physiological experiments in ecologically relevant processes of membrane transport. The effectiveness of mechanical disruption, enzymatic digestion and chelating agents were compared. The objectives were to isolate enterocytes, villi and crypts from the smal...

Embryonic hematopoiesis starts via the generation of primitive red blood cells (RBCs) that satisfy the embryo’s immediate oxygen needs. Although primitive RBCs were thought to retain their nuclei, recent studies have shown that primitive RBCs in mice enucleate in the fetal liver. It has been unknown whether human primitive RBCs enucleate, and what hematopoietic site might support this process. ...

background: placenta previa (pp) is an obstetric complication that can affect maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. its prevalence is rising due to cesarean sections. there is no quantitative data of placenta in pp. in this study, quantitative parameters of placenta in cases with pp in comparison with normally implanted controls were investigated. methods: in this quasi experimental study...

objective(s):to determine the fetal discernment in suspected cases of sex linked recessive disease in the first trimester of pregnancy. materials and methods: after collection of 100 chorionic villi samples, the dnas were extracted and baby gender was determined. meanwhile, after increasing the sensitivity, the system was able to detect the sex of each cell which was obtained by biopsy. results...

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of adding fruit juniper berry (Juniperus communis) on performance, some carcass characteristics, serum parameters, histopathological features and jejunum villi lengths in broiler diets. A total 150 male chicks were used study. The housed for 42 days. One experimental groups a control group, diets 4 treatment included 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% 2% dried ...

an experiment was conducted to study the effects of dietary levels of extruded full fat soybean (effsb) on performance, blood metabolites and intestinal morphology of broiler chickens. a batch of ffsb was wet extruded at 155 °c, 15 seconds to provide the extruded full fat soybean (effsb) sample. one hundred and forty four d-old ross 308 male broiler chicks were divided into 12 groups with 12 bi...

OBJECTIVES This study estimates the proportion of Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) attending school in 89 districts of Uganda from 2011 - 2013 and investigates the factors influencing OVC access to education among this population. METHODS This study used secondary survey data from OVCs aged 5 - 17 years, collected using Lot Quality Assurance Sampling in 87 Ugandan districts over a 3-year...

BACKGROUND The use of invasive devices and broad spectrum antibiotics has increased the rate of candidal superinfections. Candida sepsis associated with pregnancy is rare. Candida sepsis following chorionic villi sampling (CVS) has never been reported. CASE A 31 -year-old pregnant woman presented with signs of sepsis one day after undergoing transcervical CVS. Blood culture and curettage mate...
