the co-existence of acquired immune  deficiency syndrome (aids) and tuberculosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality because of a widespread organ involvement. the gastrointestinal tract is a common site for localization of opportunistic  microorganisms  in aids. however, surgical abdominal  emergencies such as intestinal perforation resulted from tuberculosis are uncommon  in these pat...

Intestinal motility disorders are an important problem in horses and donkeys and this study was carried out in order to evaluate the enteric neurons in animals with and without intestinal disease. Surplus intestinal tissue samples were collected from 28 horses undergoing exploratory laparotomy for colic. In addition, surplus intestinal samples from 17 control horses were collected immediately f...

A female Shetland sheep dog died suddenly with hemorrhagic diarrhea and vomitting, and was examined pathologically and microbiologically. Gross pathological change was restricted to the intestinal tract. The intestine contained watery, blood-stained fluid. Histopathologically, the principal intestinal lesion was superficial mucosal hemorrhagic necrosis at the jejunoileum. Many Gram-positive bac...

Trichobezoar is a rare condition in which concretions accumulate in gastro-intestinal tract because of ingested hairs from head that may pose a diagnostic challenge. Patients often have an underlying psychiatric illness and history may not be easily forthcoming. This condition should be entertained especially in adolescent females. Futile complications can occur if there is delay in diagnosis a...

Although the lung, liver, or bones are the most common location for distant metastases in breast cancer patients, metastases to the intestinal tract are very rarely recognized in the clinic. We will present an unusual case of colonic metastasis from a carcinoma of the breast that mimics a primary intestinal cancer, along with a through review of English language medical literature. Despite the ...

The article presents data on pathomorphological changes of the digestive organs in associative course heterakidosis and histomoniasis turkeys. Changes liver were observed 57.1% cases: protein fatty dystrophy, hepatocyte necrosis. cеcal lesions 100% cases, mainly fibrinous inflammation. In other parts intestinal tract – acute catarrhal

Enterocytozoon bieneusi is an agent of intestinal microsporidiosis leading to malabsorption syndrome and diarrhea in AIDS patients. Respiratory tract microsporidiosis due to Encephalitozoon spp. has been reported. To date, however, only two cases of pulmonary involvement of E. bieneusi have been documented for patients with intestinal microsporidiosis. We report here another pulmonary localizat...

Synthesis of medoxomil prodrug of ibuprofen (IM) was described. Its stabilities at different pH environments encountered in the gastrointestinal tract and in rat plasma in vitro were tested. Results demonstrated that esterase play an important role in the activation of IM. It can pass through the stomach without degradation, and with very slow degradation in intestinal tract, which indicated th...

Previous investigations in the literature have suggested a correlation between blood group A and carcinoma of the stomach (Fraser Roberts 1959). This finding was also present, but to a lesser degree, in cases of carcinoma of the oesophagus (Aird, Lee and Fraser Roberts 1960). Studies of the ABO blood group distributions of cancer within the remainder of the intestinal tract have not revealed an...

Exogenous cholesterol, absorbed from the intestinal tract, is transported into the blood by the lymph of the thoracic duct. By means of thoracic duct cannulation and subsequent lymph collection following stomach feeding of 100 mg. of cholesterol dissolved in olive oil, it was found that the nephrotic rat has a diminished rate of cholesterol absorption. This could not be ascribed to a deficiency...
