Introduction and Patient Profile: Introduction of deep enteroscopy (capsule endoscopy (CE), balloon-assisted enteroscopy, and spiral enteroscopy) has led to a significant improvement in diagnosis and management of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB). Small bowel (SB) lesions are traditionally discovered by CE or double balloon enteroscopy (DBE). Leiomyosarcomas are rare SB tumors and must ...

النفط في العراق مكتشف من فترات سحيقة قد سبقت التاريخ ربما فقد كان اهل بابل يستخدمون بعض انواع الاسود واستخدموا القير ابنيتهم وشوارعهم ايضا كانت الابار ترمي بالنفط خارجا وهذا ما معروف عن اغلب العراقية قربها سطح التربة لكن اكتشاف واستخراجه على متعارف عليه الان لم يكن الا بدايات القرن العشرين الميلادي واول شركه استغلت حقوق العراقي شركات تركيه عام 1912.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate mucosal healing after 24-month low-dose azathioprine (AZA) treatment in Chinese patients with moderate small bowel Crohn's disease (CD). METHODS Patients with lesions mainly located at the ileum were screened by baseline multislice computed tomography enterography and anal-route double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE). They were naive to any immunomodulators and biological agen...

[Purpose] This study examined the effects of band exercise types on the physical ability and muscular topography for elderly females. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-six females older than 65 years were divided into the dynamic band exercise (DBE; n=13) group and the Static band exercise (SBE; n=13) group. Each participant performed 12 weeks of elastic band exercises. Physical abilities were meas...

The uptake of radioceasium and radiostrontium in biota in dose assessment models is mostly estimated on the basis of Concentration Factors (CF). For accidental releases, the dynamical foodweb model BURN has been implemented in the coastal model POSEIDON (part of the Decision Support System RODOS). BURN can be applied on water bodies with different salinity levels, since in the model the uptake ...

In this study, the low temperature aqueous chemical growth (ACG) method was employed to synthesized ZnO nanorods to process-organic hybrid white light emitting diodes (LEDs) on glass substrate. Electroluminescence spectra of the hybrid white LEDs demonstrate the combination of emission bands arising from radiative recombination of the organic and ZnO nanorods (NRs). Depth resolved luminescence ...

The proapoptotic protein Noxa, a member of the BH3-only Bcl-2 protein family, can effectively induce apoptosis in cancer cells, although the relevant regulatory pathways have been obscure. Previous studies of the cytotoxic effects of α-tocopheryl succinate (α-TOS) on cancer cells identified a mechanism whereby α-TOS caused apoptosis requiring the Noxa-Bak axis. In the present study, ab initio a...

Small-bowel lymphangiomata (SBLs) are benign and relatively uncommon tumors of the lymphatic system [1]. Although SBLs are usually clinically silent, they may rarely present with significant small-bowel bleeding, protein-losing enteropathy, and intussusception [2, 3]. A 54-year-old-man with a past medical history of stable chronic lymphocytic leukemia presented with transfusion-dependent obscur...
