Toxocariasis is an extensive helminthic infection that leads to visceral larva migrans in humans. A 2.5-year-old girl referred for abdominal mass. She had history of pharyngitis for two weeks. There were no other symptoms. Abdominal examination revealed an irregular solid mass in right lower quadrant (RLQ). Abdominal ultrasonography revealed an echohetrogenic large mass in RLQ, liver, and retro...

adrenocortical carcinoma (acc) is a rare tumor and usually a fatal disease which can develop at any age in either sex. differential diagnosis between malignant and benign adrenal mass is not easy which leads to significant clinical challenge for optimal treatment. here we report a 22-year-old woman diagnosed with primary hyper aldostronism initially but disease relapsed during six months and ma...

INTRODUCTION Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a severe adverse event of long-term chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer. It usually develops as liver congestion due to diffuse microscopic obstruction in liver parenchyma. In contrast, it sometimes appears as a liver mass occurring with local parenchymal hemorrhaging, and is often misdiagnosed as liver metastasis. CASE PRESENT...

The adaptive value of size changes in different organ and muscle groups was studied in red knots (Calidris canutus islandica) in relation to their migration. Birds were sampled on five occasions: at arrival in Iceland in May 1994, two times during subsequent refueling, at departure toward, and on return from, the high arctic breeding grounds. During their 24-d stopover in May, body mass increas...

Inflammation is a constant in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), although their relationship unclear. In transgenic zebrafish system with chronic systemic overexpression of human IL6 (IL6-OE) we show that inflammation can cause intra-hepatic accumulation triglycerides. Transcriptomics and proteomics analysis the IL6-OE liver revealed deregulation glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathway, espe...

hydatid disease (hd) is a parasitic infection that is most commonly caused by the larval stage of echinococcus granulosus. unusual location for this disease can cause diagnostic and therapeutic problems. we herein report a case of sacrococcygeal hd at an unusual location in a 30-year-old woman. she was evaluated using computed tomography (ct) imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) after t...

 Abstract Bckground: Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are at risk of developing the fatty liver as a result of being overweight. Several studies suggest that OSA per se could be a risk factor for liver injury and ischemic hepatitis with OSA. The OSA is an independent risk factor for Insulin resistance. Therefore, we investigated liver enzymes and insulin resistance in patients with O...

which permits unrestricted non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. A 41-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for investigation of a liver mass with extensive lymph node (LN) enlargement that was detected during follow-up abdominal computed tomog-raphy (CT) for chronic viral hepatitis B. Laboratory investigations showed...

Metformin is the first line drug for type 2 diabetes but its molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we have studied the acute effect of a therapeutically relevant intrahepatic concentration of metformin on glucose production from lactate. We selected the perfused rat liver as experimental system since it enables the complete control of drug dosage. We used MALDI (matrix-assisted laser desor...

For early detection of liver disease, mass surveys are essential, however conduction of a great variety of liver function tests on a large group of people often is too complicated and difficult. With a view to establishing a simple, appropriate procedure for mass liver surveys, simultaneously with liver function tests, a check on right-hand diaphragm elevation levels as seen in the chest X-ray ...
