linguatula serrata is a zoonotic parasite with global expansion, particularly in tropical and subtropical areas. the aim of this study was to evaluate the pathological lesions caused by l. serrata in mesenteric lymph nodes (mln) of water buffalo. to study the pathological lesions of nymphal stage in water buffaloes, enlarged and swollen mln were collected and examined. grossly, the mln were swo...

With the advent of multidetector computed tomography, routine evaluation of mesenteric lymph nodes is now possible. For the first time, normal mesenteric nodes may be reliably identified noninvasively. Because of the increasing volume of cross-sectional imaging examinations being performed, lymph nodes in the mesentery are being detected with increasing frequency. This is often an unsuspected f...

the present investigation was conducted to study the effects of experimental clostridium perfringens type d enterotoxaemia in teddy goats. clinical signs started to appear after 30 min of experimental infection like anorexia, diarrhea, dehydration, frothing and dyspnea. gross lesions consisted of severe congestion in tissues of varying intensity with enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes while histol...

A serotype 4a strain of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis lacking the virulence plasmid pYV (pYV- strain) was isolated from the mesenteric lymph nodes but not from the stool or the appendix of a 10-year-old girl with a diagnosis of acute mesenteric lymphadenitis. Microscopically, reticulocytic abscess and lymphadenitis were persent in the enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes. Antibody against the isolate ...

Leiomyomatosis of lymph nodes is an extremely rare disease. Only a few cases have previously been reported in pelvic lymph nodes. They were related to a benign uterine leiomyoma, a metastasizing uterine leiomyoma, an endometrial adenocarcinoma, and an ovarian endometrioid carcinoma. We report on a case of leiomyomatosis of the mesenteric lymph nodes associated with a duodenal adenocarcinoma wit...

background: the axillary and supraclavicular nodal volume treatment results in improvement of local control and survival after breast conserving surgery (bcs) or modified radical mastectomy (mrm). studies on the depth of these nodes have questioned the consistent use of standard fields for all patients. this study was done to assess the dose delivery to these lymph nodes with conventional treat...

Gastrointestinal haemangiomas make up 0.05% of all intestinal neoplasms. They are sometimes multiple and usually present with pain, bleeding, and obstruction. An associated haemangiomatous change in regional lymph nodes has not been reported previously. A woman of 21 years presented with abdominal pain and vomiting. Abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography scan showed a lower abdominal mass...

Immune tissues are known to be innervated by the sympathetic nervous system, but little is known of what directs the innervation to specific tissue compartments. This report examines the sympathetic innervation of immune tissues in transgenic mice that overexpress nerve growth factor (NGF) in skin and other epithelial structures. NGF transgenic mice exhibited dramatic hyperinnervation in the sp...

conclusion most cte findings correlated with cdai and crp in patients with active crohn’s disease. background the accurate evaluation of crohn’s disease activity is important for the treatment of the disease and for monitoring the response. computerized tomography (ct) enterography is a useful imaging modality that reflects enteric inflammation, as well as extramural complications. objectives t...
