The aim of the present study was to determine the levels of lead and cadmium in the
meat, liver and kidney of sheep exposed in the local markets of the city of Latakia, and to
compare the results with those reported by other countries and with the
maximum
acceptable levels for human consumption, Lead and cadmium were determined by atomic
absorption spectrometry (AAS).
The mean concentrations of lead in meat, liver and kidney were 0.043, 0.284 and
0.118 mg/kg fresh weights, respectively, while mean concentrations of cadmium were
0.017, 0.173 and 0.252 mg/kg fresh weights, respectively. Statistical analysis showed a
significant difference in lead and cadmium concentrations between liver and kidney and in
meat.
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 liver metastases from
colorec
tal carcinoma from November 2010 until the end of April 2017.The study included
11 patients with 63,4% of females and average age of 55,4 years.
The primary tumor was located in the rectum at 36.4%. in 4 cases (36.4%) was the
livermetastases as a synchron with the main tumor while the metachron metastases was in
63.6% of cases. The single metastases was found at 72.7% while the multiple metastases
accounted for 27.3%. The transfusion diameter was less than 5 cm in 5 cases and 45.4%
and it was larger or equal to 5 cm in 54.6% of all the cases. The liver resection for
Hepatocellular lesions were performed concurrently with primary tumor resection in the
colon in only one case and the metastases was a single and 9.1% of the cases. The most
common surgical procedure was segment resection in 45.4% of all the cases. The left or
right hemi hepatectomy was in two cases, 8.7% None of the patients had any complications
which requiring a reoperation. Bleeding occurred in one case such as the Bilioma in one
case and Biliary fistula occurred in two cases.
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.
