BACKGROUND Although Crohn's disease (CD) is thought to predispose to adenocarcinomas of the small bowel, the association has not been well studied in an older population. AIMS The objective of our study was to evaluate the association of CD with small bowel cancer in a population-based case-control study. METHODS All cases of small bowel cancer in persons 67 and older in the Surveillance, E...

Background and Purpose: Nowadays, breast cancer is reported as one of the most common cancers amongst women. Early detection of the cancer type is essential to aid in informing subsequent treatments. The newest proposed breast cancer detectors are based on deep learning. Most of these works focus on large-datasets and are not developed for small datasets. Although the large datasets might lead ...

the purpose of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of salinity on growth parameters and intestine morphology of the caspian white fish. experiment were used with four treatments include,(freshwater (0ppt), brackish water (5ppt), abrupt transition of fish to the salt water 10ppt: )the fish were transferred from fresh water to salt water immediately) and gradual transition of fish to the ...

The large intestine plays an important role in the digestion, however it is not involved in the active absorption of nutrients. Electrolyte transport, water absorption, mucus secretion, bacterial fermentation of fi ber to easily absorbed short-chain fatty acids, immune surveillance, and motility are the main physiological events associated with the large bowel. The prevalence of large bowel dia...

abstract carcinoid tumors are well differentiated neuroendocrine tumors with secretory components. these tumors are uncommon but the most common primary tumors of the distal small intestine. we present a rare terminal ileum carcinoid tumor presenting with a small bowel obstruction. a 65 years old man presented with intermittent, gen-eralized, dull and colicky abdominal pain accompanied with int...

Small intestine is the longest organ in the gastrointestinal tract where much of the digestion and the food absorption take place. Wireless video capsule endoscope (VCE) is the first device taking 2-D pictures from the lesions and the abnormalities in the entire length of the small intestine. Since precise localization and mapping inside the small intestine is a very challenging problem, we can...

background: therapeutic and diagnosis properties of radioactive gold nanoparticle (198-aunps) cause them to be suitable for detection and treatment of tumors. objective: electrical and optical properties of peg-198aunps were examined in this paper. polyethylene glycol (peg)-198 aunps can be used for treatment and diagnosis of small intestine tumors. methods: wireless fluorescence capsule endosc...

1. Food consumption, live weight, anatomical measurements on the gut organs and the absorptive capacity of the small intestine for L-leucine and D(plus)-glucose were made on virgin (control), pregnant and lactating albino rats. 2. Food intake increased by approximately 60% during pregnancy and a further 250% during lactation. 3. Pregnancy did not markedly influence the gross anatomy of the gast...
