Oral Campylobacter species are rarely reported to cause extraoral infections. Here we present three cases of extraoral abscess caused by an oral Campylobacter sp. and a Streptococcus sp. The Campylobacter species were all isolated anaerobically and identified by sequencing analysis of the 16S rRNA gene. The cases included a breast abscess caused by Campylobacter rectus and a non-group A beta-he...

Introduction: Appendicitis is the most common surgical emergency in childhood. It’s a disease that can be presented with wide variety of atypical clinical features. Clinical Case: We report case 7-year-old female patient admitted for abdominal pain dating back 20 days, radiological exploration suggested right ovarian teratoma, while laparoscopic has objective an appendicular abscess. Conclusion...

Quantitative real time RT-PCR has been described as the most sensitive method for the detection of low abundance mRNA. To date, no reference genes have been screened in the half-smooth tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis). The aim of this study was to select the most stable genes for quantitative real-time RT-PCR. Eight housekeeping genes (18S, TUBA, B2M, ACTB, EF1A, GAPDH, RPL17 and UBCE) were...

background:   case: we discuss 3 clinical cases of tubo-ovarian abscess in women with endometriosis after oocyte retrieval despite antibiotic prophylaxis between 2004 and 2011 at our center, and discuss our experience in the context of earlier reports.   conclusion: it is unclear whether antibiotic prophylaxis is necessary in these women, and which antibiotic is best. only douching with povidon...

Acute-onset pelvic pain is an extremely common symptom in premenopausal women presenting to the emergency department. After excluding pregnancy in reproductive-age women, ultrasonography plays a major role in the prompt and accurate diagnosis of adnexal causes of acute pelvic pain, such as hemorrhagic ovarian cysts, endometriosis, ovarian torsion, and tubo-ovarian abscess. Its availability, rel...

Aim: Our aim was to investigate expression level of VEGF in tuba uterine ovarian ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) by immunohistochemical techniques. Material and Methods: 30 Sprague Dawley female rats were categorized into three groups. Sham group: The abdomen opened closed without any treatment. Ischemia (I) 1-hour ischemia allowed create ischemic injury. Ischemia-reperfusion then 3-hour reperfusion...

Tuba is a novel scaffold protein that functions to bring together dynamin with actin regulatory proteins. It is concentrated at synapses in brain and binds dynamin selectively through four N-terminal Src homology-3 (SH3) domains. Tuba binds a variety of actin regulatory proteins, including N-WASP, CR16, WAVE1, WIRE, PIR121, NAP1, and Ena/VASP proteins, via a C-terminal SH3 domain. Direct bindin...

AIMS To determine the causes of ovarian granulomatous inflammation and to discuss the differential diagnoses. METHODS The pathological features of all ovarian granulomas identified by pathology SNOMED coding in Northern Ireland over a 13 year period were reviewed. Case notes of patients were also reviewed. RESULTS The most common cause of ovarian granuloma was a foreign body reaction to sut...
