Calcification in Thoracic Splenosis.

Splenosis is a rare condition described as the implantation of ectopic splenic tissue, usually after a splenic rupture. Thoracic splenosis refers to acquired ectopic splenic tissue found within the thoracic cavity, often caused by thoracoabdominal trauma or surgery. Most cases are asymptomatic and many years may elapse before they are incidentally discovered on chest radiography or thoracic computed tomography.

Carriage of Class 1 integrons and molecular characterization of gene in multidrug-resistant spp. isolates from broilers.

Aim: The present study was conducted with the following aims: (i) To screen the spp. isolates recovered from suspected cases of fowl typhoid for carriage of Class 1 integrons and analyze their association with antimicrobial resistance and (ii) to carry out molecular characterization and phylogenetic analysis of Class 1 integron-integrase () gene.

Materials And Methods: A total of 43 isolates were subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay to determine the presence of Class1 .
