flower of rosa damascena mill is widely used in iran for gastrointestinal (gi) disorders. however, its pharmacological action on ileum contraction has not been studied. in this research we have investigated ileum motility effect of essential oil of flower petals of r. damascena growing in kashan, iran, and two of its constituents. the essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation were investigat...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aerial parts of Stachys lavandulifolia Vahl. extract on the rat ileum contractions. The crude extract was prepared by maceration method (90% methanol) followed by fractionating into chloroform, ethyl acetate, petroleum ether and water. In adult male Wistar rats, ileum was sectioned and mounted in tissue bath and their contractility was reco...

Background and Aims: Our previous study has demonstrated that essence of Carum copticum reduces contraction activity of ileum in rat. The present study was designed to find out the effects of nonpolar fraction of Carum copticum essence (NFCCE) on mechanical activity of the isolated ileum in rat. Materials and Methods: For evaluation of spasmolythic property of fraction, different doses of the ...

A case of intestinal bleeding caused by multiple ulcerations near the terminal ileum is presented. Abdominal scanning with Tc-99m tagged red blood cells (Tc-99m RBC) demonstrated the intermittent bleeding in short intervals. Selective angiography did not demonstrate the bleeding site. Exploratory laparotomy showed 3 ulcers on the ileum at a site near the terminal ileum, with bleeding from one s...

This text of the February 1998 paper which triggered a global health crisis, omits three visual figures from the original printed paper: a graph titled "urinary methylmalonic-acid excretion in patients and controls," pictures titled "endoscopic view of terminal ileum in child three and in a child with endoscopically and histologically normal ileum and colon," and "Biopsy sample from terminal il...

in order to determination of ileum apparent and true digestibility of two samples of poultry by product meal, an experiment was conducted with a total of 60 day-old broiler chicks, ross 308 strain. poultry by-product meal was prepared from two slaughter house in alborz province. samples were sent to laboratory for determination of chemical analysis. the birds received commercial broiler starter...

abstract carcinoid tumors are well differentiated neuroendocrine tumors with secretory components. these tumors are uncommon but the most common primary tumors of the distal small intestine. we present a rare terminal ileum carcinoid tumor presenting with a small bowel obstruction. a 65 years old man presented with intermittent, gen-eralized, dull and colicky abdominal pain accompanied with int...
