this study was conducted to compare susceptibility of six different strains of male broilers to ascites syndrome. in this experiment, 612 one-day-old male broiler chicks from five international hybrids (e.g, arbor acres, cobb 500, hubbard, lohmann, and ross 508) and an iranian hybrid (arian) were used. growth performance, ascites mortality ratio, the ratio of right ventricle to total ventricles...

Congenital chylous ascites is a rare entity, conditioned by numerous factors and with changing dynamics of the disease. Because of the lack of therapeutic and diagnostic standards, this disease constitutes to be a medical challenge. This article presents current knowledge on pathogenesis, diagnostics and management of this disease, as well as a case of a newborn with primary congenital chylous ...

s: Background: Differential diagnosis of ascites is a common clinical problem. Less expensive biochemical techniques are required to differentiate ascites with unknown etiology. Aim: To evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of ascitic fluid cholesterol, serum ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) and serum ascites cholesterol gradients (SACG) in differentiating cirrhotic, tuberculous and malignant ascit...

the development of ascites in hyperthyroid patients is a rare phenomenon and usually occurs in the context of exaggeration of right-sided heart failure , so it is categorized as high saag ascites. in this case report, we present a 73-year-old man who was referred to us with anorexia, severe weight loss, anemia, lower limbs pitting edema, and also exudative, low saag ascites. extensive work up r...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the values of 4 tumor markers in serum and ascites and their ascites/serum ratios in the identification and diagnosis of benign and malignant ascites. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 76 patients were selected as subjects and divided into malignant ascites group (45 cases) and benign ascites group (31 cases). Samples of ascites and serum of all hospitalized patients were...

In puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN)-treated nephrotic rats, sodium retention is associated with increased (Na+/K+)-ATPase activity in the cortical collecting ducts (CCD). This study was undertaken to determine whether stimulation of (Na+/K+)-ATPase in the CCD is a feature of other experimental nephrotic syndromes, whether it might be responsible for renal sodium retention, and whether it is medi...

Ascites is an infrequent presentation of poorly controlled congestive cardiac failure. Tense ascites due to heart failure more infrequent. Whenever there tense ascites, intra-abdominal hypertension should always be considered. The most deleterious effect abdominal compartment syndrome. It a condition that frequently overlooked and underdiagnosed. Abdominal syndrome medical as well surgical emer...

Background & AimsAscites has been classified according to quantity and response medical therapy. Despite its precise definitions, little is known about the effects of grade 1 ascites or recurrent (i.e. that recurs at least on 3 occasions within a 12-month period despite dietary sodium restriction adequate diuretic dosage) patient outcome. We studied progression in large cohort outpatients with ...
