Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is thought to be a vascular endothelial injury disease. The mechanism of injury is unknown although verocytotoxins (Shiga-like toxins (SLTs)) are known to be associated with it. Recent evidence suggests that in vitro treatment of some endothelial cells with tumor
OBJECTIVE
To detect the expression of human beta-defensin 2 (HBD-2) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in the colonic mucosae of ulcerative colitis (UC) patients and diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) patients and to evaluate the roles of HBD-2 and TNF-alpha in the
The present study aimed to explore the correlation between cytokine expression of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF‑α), interleukin (IL)‑8 and IL‑10 with occludin production, abdominal symptoms and psychological factors in patients with irritable bowel syndrome‑associated diarrhea (IBS‑D). A total of 42
Bovine bone marrow-derived macrophages were infected in vitro with noncytopathic or cytopathic strains of bovine viral diarrhea virus. Infection with both biotypes resulted in a decreased production of tumor necrosis factor alpha upon stimulation with heat-inactivated Salmonella dublin or
A 73-year-old African-American male was transported to the emergency department due to what emergency personnel described as "coffee ground emesis." He was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. An unlimited autopsy examination was conducted under authorization of the coroner's office. Medical
Three experiments were conducted to determine effects of Cu hydroxychloride on DE and ME, apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of energy and acid hydrolyzed ether extract (AEE), and growth performance of pigs fed a diet based on corn and soybean meal (SBM). In Exp. 1, 80 weanling pigs (6.80 ±
A survey of the histology of 2,024 small intestinal suction and forceps biopsies in 400 dogs, consisting of 17 clinically healthy control dogs and 383 dogs with chronic diarrhea is presented. Three and a half percent of the suction biopsies and 22.6 percent of the forceps biopsies were unsuitable
BACKGROUND
Because altered immune responses may be a risk factor for persistent diarrhea, various aspects of the immune response were examined to elucidate the underlying immune mechanisms that may be involved in the development of persistent diarrhea.
METHODS
Children (7-12 months of age) with
Several experimental studies have demonstrated that activated intestinal T cells can induce villous atrophy. This observation led us to examine the possible role of activated T cells in the pathogenesis of intestinal lesions in a group of 13 children with intractable diarrhea and villous atrophy of
The brain from a 15-month-old, black female Angus, with a 48-hour history of central nervous system disease, was submitted to the Oklahoma Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory. Microscopic findings consisted of acute, multifocal meningoencephalitis, with neuronal degeneration and necrosis and
Herein, we report a case of acute kidney injury (AKI) due to diarrhea-induced acute tubular necrosis (ATN) in a patient with nephrotic syndrome secondary to biopsy-proven collapsing focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). The clinical picture mimicked rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis
OBJECTIVE
Small bowel ischemia following laparoscopy was described recently as a rare fatal complication of the CO2 pneumoperitoneum. Of the 8 cases reported in the surgical literature, 7 were fatal, 1 was not. In this report, we describe the first gynecological case.
METHODS
A 34-year-old woman who
A case-control study was conducted to investigate potential risk factors for toe tip necrosis syndrome (TTNS) in western Canadian feedlot cattle. Feedlot veterinarians provided hooves from 222 animals that died of either TTNS ("cases") or from all other causes ("controls"). The claws were sectioned
A 5-month-old mixed-breed filly presented with diarrhea due to Salmonella typhimurium infection and subsequently developed pneumonia in addition to ischemic necrosis of distal limbs. Pulmonary lesions were characterized by numerous discrete, disseminated pyogranulomas with intralesional fungal
