The aim of this overview article is to present the current possibilities of radionuclide scintigraphic small intestine imaging. Nuclear medicine has a few methods-scintigraphy with red blood cells labelled by means of (99m)Tc for detection of the source of bleeding in the small intestine, Meckel's diverticulum scintigraphy for detection of the ectopic gastric mucosa, radionuclide somatostatin r...

A comparison of routine and special histochemical methods that were applied to the epithelial mucins of small intestine from patients with Crohn's disease and from normal controls showed that the normal small intestine (ileum) goblet cells secrete a predominantly non-sulphated sialomucin and that, in contradistinction to the colon, the neuraminidase insensitivity of the sialic acids of the smal...

celiac disease (cd) is a rare malabsorption syndrome mainly occurring in childhood which is now recognized as the most common food intolerance disease in the world. cd is associated with a wide spectrum of extra intestinal manifestations. neurological involvements of cd were first attributed to malabsorption due to changes in the mucosal architecture of the small intestine. neurological manifes...

this study was conducted because of influence of prebiotics (alphamune) and symbiotic (biomin) on histometrical development of small intestine and lymphatic tissue of caecal tonsil have been not reported on broiler chicken. in this study, different parts of small intestine and caecal tonsil, which is a major area of gut associated lymphatic tissue (galt) in chicken were selected. one hundred an...

background: the loop pattern of the small intestine is of considerable importance in categorizing them and the intestine length of the two sex is different. in this respect there is no research performed on pheasant family as guinea fowl. objectives: in this research histomorphology of guinea fowl's small intestine was studied. methods: for this study 20 adult male and female guinea fowls ...

Sturgeon is one of the most important species of the Caspian Sea aquatics. Unfortunately, this species faces the threat of extinction today. This makes specific studies on any type of sturgeons more important than before. Studies like histological studies, radiology, and sonography, all require a complete understanding of the anatomy of this fish. Since pilot studies showed some misconceptions ...

A factor that augmented the phagocytosis of lgG-coated ox red blood cells by the human monocyte/macrophage line U937 was identified in cell culture supernatants from two of two patients with angiocentric peripheral T cell lymphomas, three of three patients with angiocentric immunoproliferative lesions that were not frankly malignant, and one of two patients with T lymphoblastic malignancies. Th...

Small bowel neuroendocrine tumours (SBNETs) are neoplasms arising from the cells of small intestine. SBNETs most common bowel. Their often unspecific symptoms mean that many patients present late with metastatic disease, commonly to local lymph nodes, mesentery, and liver. Although Somatostatin Analogues (SSAs) can relieve slow disease progression, surgical resection remains only curative optio...
