The study was conducted from April 2009 to March 2010 to assess the antimicrobial sensitivity pattern of eight Salmonella Gallinarum strains recovered from various sources in Jaipur of India by testing with eight different antimicrobials by disc diffusion method where the isolates showed least sensitive to tetracycline. Gross lesions incriminated to the pathogen, were comprised of caseous enter...

Airway irritation effects after single and repeated inhalation exposures to aerosols of beta-glucan (grifolan) were investigated in mice. In addition, the effects on serum total immunoglobulin E (IgE) production and histopathological inflammation in the respiratory tract were studied. The beta-glucan aerosols provoked slight sensory irritation in the airways, but the response was not concentrat...

Chalazion is a subacute granulomatous inflammation of the eyelid caused by retention of tarsal gland secretions and it's the most common inflammatory lesion of the eyelid. In cases of doubtful clinical presentation the diagnosis with a biopsy and a histopathological examination is important because it can orientate an appropriate surgical treatment. We report a case of a 64-years-old diabetic m...

We report the case of a 72-year-old female who was admitted to our hospital because of obstructive colitis. Blood analysis showed her serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level to be 156.0 ng/mL. A sigmoidectomy and descending colostomy were performed for obstructive colitis due to colonic diverticulitis. Histopathological examination revealed active inflammation of the sigmoid colon without ne...

A 53 year old male with symptoms of coughing for 6 months presented with bilateral multiple pulmonary nodules suggestive of metastatic disease. By surgical resection 4 out of 6 nodules were removed. Histopathological examination showed granulomatous necrotizing inflammation with growth of Corynebacterium ulcerans, which did not produce diphtheria toxin. The patient was treated with penicillin f...

Objective to compare the inflammatory response between platelet rich plasma 20% and autologous serum on cornea after sodium hydroxide exposure. Methods a true experimental study with two groups post-test design. A total of 18 rabbits were used in this allocated into groups. After collecting intravenous blood samples from both group, 20%, respectively, obtained by centrifugation dilution. Alkali...

The purpose of this study was to compare histopathological changes in the lungs of chickens infected with avian pathogenic (APEC) and avian fecal (A(fecal)) Escherichia coli strains, and to analyze how the interaction of the bacteria with avian macrophages relates to the outcome of the infection. Chickens were infected intratracheally with three APEC strains, MT78, IMT5155, and UEL17, and one n...

INTRODUCTION Acute pancreatitis is a local inflammatory process that leads to a systemic inflammatory response in the majority of cases. Bacterial contamination has been estimated to occur in 30-40% of patients with necrotizing pancreatitis. Development of pancreatic necrosis depends mainly on the degree of inflammation and on the microvascular circulation of the pancreatic tissue. Activated pr...

INTRODUCTION Pathological bone changes differ considerably between inflammatory arthritic diseases and most studies have focused on bone erosion. Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) is a model for rheumatoid arthritis, which, in addition to bone erosion, demonstrates bone formation at the time of clinical manifestations. The objective of this study was to use this model to characterise the histolo...
