The entire gastro-intestinal tract and viscera of the abdomen and thorax, including the heart, aorta and its branches to the viscera, are removed from the carcass. All the branches of the aorta, with the exception of the A. gastrica sinistra, are dissected from the intestinal tract, and subsequently each branch is isolated from the mesentery, fat, pancreas, kidneys, etc. Usually, the A. ileocol...

Anorectal malformation (ARM) is one of the most common congenital anomaly that requires emergency surgery in the neonatal period. ARMs are frequently associated with other life threatening congenital anomalies. Commonly associated anomalies are genito-urinary, cardiovascular, gastro-intestinal, skeletal and spinal. Alimentary tract anomalies are frequently masked by the intestinal obstruction p...

The research paper provides the results of investigation of “Sour-milk feed supplement” for piglets based on natural association of microorganisms Lactomyces tibeticus. It was found that probiotic microorganisms that compose sour-milk feed supplement withstand the adverse actions of gastrointestinal tract and can be easily acclimatized in the intestinal tract of piglets. Administration of sour-...

The presence of glandular epithelium in urinary tract biopsies poses a diagnostic challenge. Intestinal metaplasia of the urethra may be seen in many congenital, iatrogenic, and reactive conditions, as well as in association with malignant conditions such as urethral adenocarcinoma. We present a case of a 61 year-old woman presenting with microscopic hematuria. Successive biopsies showed glandu...

Three cases of primary malignant lymphoma and primary mucus-secreting adenocarcinoma of the intestinal tract, occurring in the same patients, are described, and three similar cases reported in the literature are discussed. The carcinomas were present at the same time as the lymphomas, or developed after the lymphomas had been removed. The relationship between malignant lymphoma and carcinoma is...

Defence of the intestinal mucosal surface from enteric pathogens is initially mediated by secretory IgA (SIgA). As oral immunization of non-replicating antigen induces minimal SIgA antibody titers, novel immunization strategies which selectively induce mucosal immune responses in mammals are now being assessed in chickens. The strategies reviewed include the route of antigen delivery, the incor...

Foodborne Salmonella continues to be a major cause of salmonellosis with Salmonella Enteritidis and S. Typhimurium considered to be responsible for most of the infections. Investigation of outbreaks and sporadic cases has indicated that food vehicles such as poultry and poultry by-products including raw and uncooked eggs are among the most common sources of Salmonella infections. The disseminat...

Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (PIL) is a rare protein-losing gastroenteropathy characterized by dilatation of the lymphatics and loss lymph fluid into gastrointestinal tract, leading to development hypoproteinaemia, oedema, lymphocytopenia, hypogammaglobinaemia, immunologic abnormalities. We report series 4 children from Bangalore, India presenting with anasarca, diarrhoea, hypoproteinaem...

Received: Revised: Accepted: February 08, 2014 February 27, 2014 March 05, 2014 Twenty apparently adult healthy Baladi rabbit of both sexes were used in this study to demonstrate the arterial supply of the intestinal tract. Immediately after slaughtering of rabbits, the thoracic part of the aorta was injected by gum milk latex colored red with carmine just prior to its passage through the hiatu...

BACKGROUND Within seven days following peroral high dose infection with Toxoplasma gondii susceptible conventionally colonized mice develop acute ileitis due to an underlying T helper cell (Th) -1 type immunopathology. We here addressed whether mice harboring a human intestinal microbiota developed intestinal, extra-intestinal and systemic sequelae upon ileitis induction. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPA...
