copper sulfate is one of the most important pollutant in aquaculture systems. the aim of the present study was of the histopathological changes of some organs of common carp. copper sulphate can be considered as a toxic agent for fish.the effect of copper sulphate at 0. 0 1 mg/l as a constant bath was studied on common carp (cyprinus carpio) weighing about 100g. at 19±1°c for one month. tissue ...

Biliary hamartomata are rare benign lesions. Herein, we report on a 48-year-old man with a history of end-stage liver disease secondary to alcoholic liver disease. The patient received an orthotropic liver transplant from a brain-death woman. At the time of recovery, there were multiple lesions in the transplanted liver measuring 7-10 mm. Pathology revealed multiple biliary hamartomata. The pos...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the values of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of hyperechoic liver lesions. MATERIAL AND METHODS The CEUS findings of 102 patients with hyperechoic liver lesions identified by 2-dimensional ultrasound in the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Guangxi Medical University were reviewed and analyzed....

Four patients with sonographic suggestion of hepatic hemangioma are studied with Tc99m-labeled RBC scan. The scan findings are compaired with other imaging modalities. Lesions as small as 36 mm could be detected by this method. Tc99m labeled RBC scan is a valuable tool to differentiate hepatic hemangioma from other space occupying lesion of the liver.

  Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus (larval form) in humans with lesions most frequently encountered in the liver and lungs. It can rarely involve extra-hepatic organs. It is endemic in some regions of Iran. The omental hydatid cyst is a very rare manifestation of the disease. This report presents the interesting case of a very large omental hydatid cyst.

Myocardial infarction is commonly considered as a leading cause of cardiovascular disease taking the lives of seven million people annually. Liver dysfunction is associated with cardiac diseases. The profile of abnormal liver functions in heart failure is not clearly defined. This study was designed to investigate the protective effects of betaine on liver injury after myocardial infarction ind...

1. Hepatic Cyst Hepatic cysts are common benign lesions that occur in 2%-10% of the population. They may be solitary or multiple and range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters. Hepatic cysts are usually discovered incidentally and have no malignant potential. On MR imaging, they are well-defined, round or oval lesions with thin, almost imperceptible walls. Simple cysts are very...
