Evaluation of the potential of extract of seaweed Eucheuma denticulatum as an alternative to antibiotic growth promoter in broiler chickens.

The seaweeds are in focus for their immunity and gut health-stimulating potentials in humans and farm animals, but their potential as a gut health-promoting agent and performance booster to replace antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) in broiler chicken-feed remains to be evaluated. feeding experiments were conducted on commercial broiler chickens (1-42 days post-hatch) to evaluate dried aqueous exact of red seaweed (referred to as PBD 5). Each of the three test diets (basal diet with three dosing regimens of PBD5, 0.

Role of Sarcopenia in Predicting the Postoperative Morbidity and Perioperative Mortality in Patients Undergoing Elective Surgery for Gastric Cancer.

Purpose Of Study: This study was done to assess the effect of sarcopenia and other risk factors on the postoperative morbidity and perioperative mortality of patients undergoing elective surgery for gastric cancer.

Methods: This was a prospective cohort study comprising a single group of patients undergoing elective surgery for gastric cancer carried out in a tertiary care center in India. Patients diagnosed with gastric cancer underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography preoperatively.

Pseudoaneurysm of the gastroduodenal artery secondary to diverticulitis of the first part of duodenum: a rare presentation of upper gastrointestinal bleed.

Acute upper gastrointestinal (UGI) bleeding is one of the most frequent presentations to a surgical emergency. Most of them respond to initial resuscitation, and a definite diagnosis is established as soon as possible, thereby helping the clinician in management. We present the diagnostic challenges that we faced with a 70-year-old man who presented with UGI bleed.

Testicular Torsion in a Rare Case of Prostatic Spindle Cell Rhabdomyosarcoma.

Spindle cell sarcoma of the prostate is a rare variant of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), with the clinical experience limited to a handful of cases in the literature. We report a rare case of spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma (SC-RMS) who presented to us with testicular torsion features. A 20-year-old male presented initially with lower urinary tract symptoms and features of epidiymo-orchitis, which was managed conservatively.

Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava posing as an adrenal incidentaloma.

Adrenal incidentalomas are incidentally detected adrenal lesions on imaging, which have a variety of differential diagnoses, the most common being a non-functioning adenoma. Surgical intervention for these lesions is needed when there is hypersecretion, for lesions larger than 4 cm and smaller lesions with suspicious characteristics. Here we present a young woman who was incidentally found to have a right suprarenal mass with loss of fat planes with the inferior vena cava (IVC).

Carcinoma of the Accessory Axillary Breast: A Diagnostic Dilemma and a Management Challenge.

Carcinoma of the accessory axillary breast is uncommon, with an incidence of 0.2 to 0.6%.
