Salmonella and Arizona spp. were isolated from various sites of the digestive and reproductive tracts of lizards. The finding that bacteria in the oviducts and in the internal contents of oviductal eggs were of the same serotype raises the possibility that transovarian bacterial transmission in lizards occurs in nature.

This study details the nutritional and digestive properties of protein isolates that are extracted from carp (Cyprinus Carpio L.) muscle using pH shifting methods. Alkaline (ALPI) and acid (ACPI) protein isolates exhibit higher protein yields (87.6%, 76.3%, respectively). In addition to the high recovery of myofibrillar protein, a portion of the water-soluble proteins is also recovered. The moi...

Hepaticojejunostomy is an important part of many surgical procedures including pancreaticoduodenectomy. Biliary leakage from hepaticojejunostomy may be associated with intraabdominal abscess formation, biliary peritonitis, and even mortality. A 72-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital with obstructive jaundice. After initial evaluation, she was diagnosed with distal common bile d...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Home enteral nutrition is used increasingly in pediatric populations. Our objective was to describe the profile of pediatric patients requiring this treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS All patients under 18 years old requiring treatment with home enteral nutrition between January 1995 and December 2004 were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS 304 patients were studied (157 boys)...

The effect of low magnesium concentrations in composed isotonic and isoionic Tyrode’s solution on its absorption from the distal part of the swine digestive tract was investigated in vitro on bags made of survived epithelia of the swine caecum and proximal colon. The epithelial side of either epithelium was always turned into the bags that were filled with Tyrode’s solution containing 0.5, 1.0 ...
