In many subjects, overlap of the image of the pancreas by the liver image makes clear delineation of the pancreas uncertain. A dual isotope technique was evolved with a ratio substract system. Experiments in vitro with a phantom liver and pancreas successfully erased the liver image from the final printout. In vivo, however, the results were in many cases unsatisfactory. A detailed statistical ...

This study aimed to explore the histomorphology of pancreatic tissue medaka fish develop as a diabetic animal model. Adult were obtained with body length 2.53±0.22 cm and weight 265.8±25 g. Medaka fixed using Boiun's fixative solution. Macro anatomical observations pancreas conducted stereomicroscope. Histological preparations made according Hematoxylin-eosin staining standard procedure. Pancre...

Ervil (Vicia ervilia) seeds are produced in the Mediterranean region and used as a source of protein for cattle and poultry. The methods used to assess the toxic effects of legume seeds in the feed of poultry include the observation of one or more parameters, including abnormal signs, weight gain, feed consumption, gall bladder weight, pancreas weight, pancreas proteolytic and amylase activity,...

This study was carried out at the poultry farm of animal production Dep. College Agriculture –University Anbar during period from 28/10/2021 to 8/12/2021 (42 days), show effect adding Cordyceps sinensis (C.S.) extract and a probiotic in Dressing ratio, relative weights internal viscera Microbial content broilers. 210 chicks one day unsexed strain (Ross 308) were used with an average weight 40 g...

This study was conducted in two steps to determine the effects of in ovo injection of zinc acetate (ZAC) on some gene expression associated with embryonic growth and development, and with growth and carcass characteristics of the resultant chicks. In the first step the effect of in ovo injectionofZAC on the expression of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs:IGF-I and IGF-I), myog...

This study investigated the relative bioavailability (RBV) of zinc from different sources used as feed additives in ruminant nutrition based on Zn concentration and activity Zn-dependent enzymes lamb tissues. Thirty-two male lambs Improved Valachian breed (three months old) were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments. For 120 days, fed either total mix ration (TMR) providing 29.6 mg Zn/kg...

Normal values and upper limits (95th percentile) of liver, spleen, pancreas, and portal vein size were determined prospectively with ultrasound in 915 healthy subjects. Sex, age, weight, height, and body surface area were determined in each case. Since correlation of longitudinal and transverse organ diameters with physical data was poor (r less than or equal to 0.3), the authors do not conside...

We describe a 71-year-old man who presented with abdominal pain, lower-extremity edema, recent unintentional weight loss, hypertension, hyperglycemia, hypokalemia, and metabolic alkalosis. Serum cortisol levels remained elevated after overnight high-dose dexamethasone suppression. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a small mass in the head of the pancreas with scattered liver metastases. Both ...
