Splenic nerve denervation abrogates enhanced splenic cytokine gene expression responses to acute heating, demonstrating that hyperthermia-induced activation of splenic sympathetic nerve discharge (SND) increases splenic cytokine gene expression. Hypothermia alters SND responses; however, the role of the sympathetic nervous system in mediating splenic cytokine gene expression responses to hypoth...

This study aimed to describe a case in which an isolated splenic metastasis was synchronous with the colonic primary and a concomitant splenic abscess was associated. A wide review of the literature was also performed. A 54-year-old woman with abdominal pain and fever was admitted to our department. Abdominal CT revealed two low-density areas in the spleen and wall-thickening of the left coloni...

Splenic abscess is an infrequent complication of enteric fever caused by Salmonella typhi. The incidence rate ranges from 0.14-2%. Clinical manifestations are often nonspecific and may be presented as with left upper quadrant abdominal pain a palpable tender mass. Diagnosis difficult splenic management based on surgical interventions antibiotic therapy. In this case report we would like to high...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE the close anatomic relationship of the pancreas with the splenic vessels and the spleen is responsible for splenic complications in the course of acute pancreatitis. Our objective was to report two cases of severe acute pancreatitis complicated by splenic infarction. PATIENTS in a three-month period of time two patients were diagnosed with splenic infarction secondary...

Splenic injuries are amongst the most frequent trauma-related which requires emergency surgeries demanding meticulous surgical and anesthetic management. The aim while managing splenic trauma patients, is to restore homeostasis normal pathophysiology in body by achieving hemostasis with an splenectomy. To date, there have been few reports describing anaesthetic management of COVID-19 patients p...

Splenic injury is a rare complication following colonoscopy with fewer than 100 reported cases worldwide to date. We describe a case of splenic laceration presenting 5 days following diagnostic colonoscopy. Although hemodynamically stable, active contrast extravasation on contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography predicted likely failure of conservative management. Splenic artery angi...

The congestion may take two forms, active or passive. The former occurs with diseases involving the spleen directly, such as tuberculosis, Hodgkin's disease or malaria. According to Ravenna,4 the diseased splenic arterioles fail to control the amount of blood which enters the spleen, resulting in a damming effect, elevation of hydrostatic pressure, and splenomegaly. The exact relationship betwe...
