The glycopatterns of the glycans secreted by mucosa stomach and duodenal ampulla striped dolphin, Stenella coeruleoalba were studied histochemical (Periodic acid-Schiff, Alcian Blue pH 2.5, High Iron Diamine) lectin-binding (SBA, DBA, PNA, WGA, MAA-II, SNA, ConA, UEA-I, AAA, LTA) techniques. can be divided into four compartments: main stomach, two connecting chambers pylorus. pylorus is followe...

Double pylorus is an unusual condition in which a double communication between the gastric antrum and the duodenal bulb occurs. It may be congenital, or it may be acquired complication of peptic ulcer disease. We present a case of double pylorus in a gentleman with epigastric pain and previous history of peptic ulcer disease. The relationship between Helicobacter pylori and this disease was ass...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the anti-ulcer activity of chloroform extract of leaves of Cayratia pedata (Lam). The chloroform extract of Cayratia pedata (CECP) was investigated for its anti-ulcer activity against pylorus ligation and ethanol induced gastric ulcers in rats. Ranitidine (50mg/kg,p.o.) and misoprostol (100ug/kg,p.o.) were used as standard drugs. A significant (p<0.01) anti-...

Afferent loop syndrome is a rare complication of gastrojejunostomy. Patients usually present with abdominal distention and bilious vomiting. Afferent loop syndrome in patients who have undergone a pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy can present with ascending cholangitis. This condition is related to a large volume of reflux through the biliary-enteric anastomosis and static materials wi...

This paper addresses the problem of automatically locating the boundary between the stomach and the small intestine (the pylorus) in wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) video. For efficient image segmentation, the color-saliency region detection (CSD) method is developed for obtaining the potentially valid region of the frame (VROF). To improve the accuracy of locating the pylorus, we design the M...
