The patient was a 58-year-old male with past medical history of chronic alcoholism, who presented with epigastric abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Hepatic infarction was diag...

Diabetic rats both overeat high-carbohydrate diet and have altered hypothalamic neuropeptide Y (NPY) and corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF). In contrast, a high-fat diet reduces caloric intake of diabetics to normal, reflected by normal hypothalamic NPY and CRF content. How the brain senses these changes in diet is unknown. To date, no hormonal changes explain these diet-induced changes in ca...

Living liver donor transplantation is the last option for end stage diseases. The variations in hepatic artery of may lead to poor outcome, or with major post-operative complications such as thrombosis. To prevent and increase success rate transplant surgeries, CT evaluation arteries essential. Thus, present study was aimed living donors. A total 200 angiograms were collected from department Ra...

Knowledge of the variant vascular anatomy of the subhepatic region is important for hepatobiliary surgeons in limiting operative complications due to unexpected bleeding. The pattern of arterial blood supply of 102 gallbladders was studied by gross dissection. The cystic artery originated from the right hepatic artery in 92.2% of cases. The rest were aberrant and originated from the proper hepa...

Tuberculosis is a common infectious disease with a high prevalence in developing countries and presents a major public health issue.
