OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that hepatomegaly in burned children can be attenuated or reversed by blocking lipolysis and reducing free fatty acids delivered to the liver.
BACKGROUND
Accelerated lipolysis in severely burned children has been shown to play an
Hepatomegaly after chronic alcohol consumption results from an increase in cell size and not in cell number. About 50--60% of the increase in liver weight is accounted for by an increase in intracellular water, while extracellular water remains constant. Therefore, a substantial reduction in the
The present study investigated the potential role for activation of PPARα and CAR/PXR by potassium PFOS (K⁺ PFOS) with respect to the etiology of hepatic hypertrophy and hepatocellular adenoma in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed K⁺ PFOS (20 or 100 ppm) for either 1, 7, or 28 days. Wyeth
Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) is one of a class of industrial chemicals known as perfluoroalkyl acids, which have a wide variety of uses as surfactants and stain repellants. The presence of fluorochemical residues in human blood, plasma, or serum from sample populations worldwide is indicative of
In a prior 28-day dietary study in rats with 20 and 100 ppm K⁺ PFOS, activation of PPARα and CAR/PXR were concluded to be etiological factors in K⁺ PFOS-induced hepatomegaly and hepatic tumorigenesis. The objective of this study was to evaluate persistence/resolution of K⁺ PFOS-induced,
OBJECTIVE

The case records of six cats with hyperadrenocorticism presented to the Department of Clinical Veterinary Medicine, University of Cambridge, over an 11-year period were reviewed. Signalment and clinical signs were similar to previous reports but, in contrast to other reports, only three cats had
Fanconi-Bickel syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hepatorenal glycogen accumulation, proximal renal tubular dysfunction and impaired utilization of glucose and galactose. Most cases have been reported from Europe, Japan, Turkey and the Mediterranean belt. We report a
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate epidemiological, clinical and laboratory features, and risk factors for mortality in leptospirosis.
METHODS
Seventy-two adult leptospirosis cases were reviewed. Categorical clinical and laboratory findings of survivors and non-survivors were assessed
We report a 20-year-old man who presented to our emergency room with a history of polyuria, weakness, constipation, nausea, and vomiting of two months duration. History and clinical examination revealed a significant weight loss and mild hepatomegaly. Laboratory investigations revealed hypokalemia,
BACKGROUND
In this study, we aimed to explore the clinical and epidemiological profile of all patients with hepatitis E virus (HEV) who were admitted to a tertiary care hospital in Mysore, India and to further assess various factors that influence the prognosis of these patients.
METHODS
Two hundred
The article deals with the dynamics of echocardioscopy indices during 1.5 years in a patient who underwent an acute myocardial infarction (MI). Two months after the MI left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic size and LV volume were 61 mm and 190 ml, respectively; LV ejection fraction (EF) was 42%. At
Propofol (2, 6-diisopropylphenol) is a potent intravenous hypnotic agent that is widely used in adults and children for sedation and the induction and maintenance of anaesthesia. Propofol has gained popularity for its rapid onset and rapid recovery even after prolonged use, and for the
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) seeds contain mucilage, trigonelline, 4-hydroxyisoleucine, sotolon, diosgenin, luteolin, phenolic acids, and protodioscin. Fenugreek has been used in a number of geographical regions worldwide as a galactogogue to increase milk supply and is included in numerous
A 13-year-old, crossbreed dog presented with a history of recent onset polydipsia, progressive lethargy, weakness and reduced appetite. Blood tests showed raised concentrations of alkaline phosphatase and alanine aminotransferase with marginally low serum potassium. There was a leucocytosis with a
