BACKGROUND & AIMS Zebrafish mutants generated by ethylnitrosourea-mutagenesis provide a powerful tool for dissecting the genetic regulation of developmental processes, including organogenesis. One zebrafish mutant, "flotte lotte" (flo), displays striking defects in intestinal, liver, pancreas, and eye formation at 78 hours postfertilization (hpf). In this study, we sought to identify the underl...

in the present study, pancreas glands in mehraban breed of female sheep were histomorphometricallystudied in four different age groups included: fetus, newborn, sexually mature and old ages. the results ofhistomorphometrical analysis with regard to frequency and percentage of parenchymal and stromal structures such as, exocrine secretory units, secretory ducts, blood vessels, islets of langerha...

pancreatic tuberculosis is a rare condition but as a result of increasing migration, tuberculosis is expanding internationally. we present a case of pancreatic tuberculosis in a 25 years old woman who presented with fever, and epigastric mass with pain. ct scan finding was compatible with pancreatic abscess, laparoscopic finding showed caseous materials. granuloma was found in histology of panc...

Abstract Pancreas transplantation is a well-established treatment for patients with complicated diabetes mellitus and advanced renal failure. The most common procedure simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation, in which the pancreas graft positioned right pelvic region kidney left iliac fossa. Various imaging methods are used post-transplantation evaluation of parenchyma vascular anatomy, as...

INTRODUCTION The standard operation for carcinoma of the pancreatic head is a partial pancreaticoduodenectomy. Unusual histological findings may occasionally occur in the surgical specimen. We present three unusual histologic diagnoses after pancreaticoduodenectomy. CASE PRESENTATIONS In the first case, an 86-year-old Caucasian woman was admitted with abdominal pain and nausea. Preoperative e...

Salmonid alphavirus subtype-3 (SAV-3) infection in Atlantic salmon is exclusively found in Norway. The salmonid alphaviruses have been well characterized at the genome level but there is limited information about the host-pathogen interaction phenomena. This study was undertaken to characterize the replication and spread of SAV-3 in internal organs of experimentally infected Atlantic salmon and...

Adaptive exocrine pancreatic growth is mediated primarily by dietary protein and the gastrointestinal hormone cholecystokinin (CCK). Feeding trypsin inhibitors such as camostat (FOY-305) is known to induce CCK release and stimulate pancreatic growth. However, camostat has also been reported to stimulate secretin release and, because secretin often potentiates the action of CCK, it could partici...

BACKGROUND Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma is a unique and distinct clinicopathological entity in terms of its origin, morphology, and biologic behavior. Despite being a slow-growing tumor, it has a high rate of local recurrences and history of metastases to uncommon sites like the mandible, liver, retroperitoneum, right ventricle, pancreas, and central nervous system. Here, we report a ver...

Pancreatic carcinoma (Ca Pancreas) is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in world. The malignancies pancreas can be diagnosed with help various imaging modalities. An endoscopic ultrasound a tissue biopsy so far considered to gold standard terms detection Ca Pancreas, especially for lesions <2 mm. However, other methods, like computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, and magnetic r...

Figure Diagrammatic representation ofoperative findings demonstrating a 6 cm inflammatory mass in the pancreatic tail with gastric vein dilatation. laparotomy. Prominent veins around the gastric fundus and splenomegaly were noted. An anterior gastrotomy revealed two large bleeding gastric varices which were oversewn. A total of 30 units of blood had been transfused to this point. On the tenth p...
