A study was conducted to investigate the protective and therapeutic
effects of Ecballium elaterium juice against experimental infection
with Eimeria stiedae in rabbits. Thirty- two rabbits were divided
into four groups (eight rabbits in each group
) : healthy control group
(HC); challenged – Ecballium elaterium –protected group (CEEP)
which received a daily dose of (45) μl\kg body weight Ecballium
elaterium juice intra-peritoneal for five days before challenged with
E. stiedae ; challenged – Ecballium elaterium –treated group
(CEET) which received a daily dose of (45)μl\kg body weight
Ecballium elaterium juice intra-peritoneal for five days after
challenged with of E .stiedae and infected group (IC).The challenge
dose was 40000 sporulated E. stiedae oocyst per rabbits.
Introduction: Liver surgery is a relatively recent and relatively major complex surgery, due
to the anatomical and histological specialty of the liver.
Objective of the research: To evaluate the results of the cases of non traumatic liver
resectio
n from November 2010 until the end of June 2017
The study included 23 patients with 61% of females and average age of 46.8 years. 30.43%
of the cases were benign lesions, while malignant lesions constituted 65.12% of all
patients. The highest percentage of lesions was of colorectal tumors with 66.66% of all
metastatic patients and 43.47% of all patients. Whereas hepatocellular carcinoma HCC
were only in 4.35% of all patients
The most common surgical procedure was segment resection. The left or right hemi
hepatectomy was in two cases, 8.7%
None of the patients had any complications which requiring a reoperation. Biliary fistula
occurred in two cases, one of which was administered conservatively, the other requiring
ERCP.
