|
Larger splenic metastatic lesions were more often symptomatic. |
|
Following IVIG therapy in patients with ITP, platelet counts generally rise, apparently by Fc receptor blockade of splenic phagocytes and other reticuloendothelial cells. |
|
The left gastric vessels are then ligated taking the associated nodal tissue with it and avoiding any injury to the common hepatic or splenic arteries. |
|
When the spleen is absent, the splenic artery terminates in the pancreas. |
|
In addition to the alveolar epithelial cells, host immune cells located outside the lung, such as splenic and thymic cells, undergo apoptosis during influenza infections. |
|
Many mechanisms of atraumatic splenic rupture have been postulated. |
|
The morphologic differential diagnosis of mature B-cell neoplasms with cytoplasmic projections includes splenic lymphoma with villous lymphocytes and hairy cell leukemia. |
|
The sound sometimes occurs in splenic infarction, in neoplastic disease that involves the surface of the liver, and in abscess formation in either organ. |
|
The tortuous course of the splenic artery is considered so variable that no two arteries are alike, but the tortuosity of the artery is absent in infants and children. |
|
Fusion of dorsal mesogastrium to the posterior abdominal wall and left kidney forms the lienorenal ligament containing tail of pancreas and splenic artery. |
|
|
The body and tail extend along the splenic vein toward the splenic hilum. |
|
He underwent laparotomy with splenectomy and splenic artery resection. |
|
In the continuous type, the spleen is connected to the gonadal-mesonephric tissue by a continuous cordlike structure of fibrous or splenic tissue. |
|
The authors searched for causes of thrombophilia in their patient because of splenic infarct, without evaluation of the fibrinolytic system. |
|
For the conception that there is a special form of cirrhosis secondary to splenic fibro-adenia, Banti is largely responsible. |
|
Littoral cell angioma is a vascular lesion of the spleen arising from the littoral cells, which line the splenic sinuses. |
|
Quantitation of amastigotes of Leishmania donovani in smears of splenic aspirates from patients with visceral leishmaniasis. |
|
The splenic tissue was separated from the seminiferous tubules by a splenic capsule and vascular fibrous connective tissue. |
|
Other lesions included pulmonary perivascular edema, lymphoplasmacytic hepatitis, and splenic and bursal lymphoid depletion. |
|
Necropsy results showed intracoelomic bleeding and exsanguination from fractures in both the hepatic and splenic capsules. |
|
A 41-year-old white man was referred for evaluation of a splenic artery aneurysm and an acquired splenorenal venous shunt. |
|
Gastric varices can also be seen in cases of isolated splenic vein thrombosis. |
|
Splenic cysts which do not resolve over time can be treated with partial splenic decapsulation. |
|
When gonadal descent begins, the attached splenic tissue follows the gonadal path. |
|
In extravascular hemolysis, splenic macrophages phagocytose RBCs, releasing hemoglobin, which is then broken down into heme. |
|
Other physical signs are nonspecific, with the possible exception of nasomucosal and oromucosal ulceration and the presence of pulmonary or splenic nodules. |
|
The splenic vein courses along the posterior aspect of the pancreatic body and tail, while the celiac artery is related cranially to the neck of the pancreas. |
|
They include hemangiomas, littoral cell angiomas, splenic hamartomas, lymphangiomas, hemangioendotheliomas, angiosarcomas, and Sclerosing Angiomatoid Nodular Transformation. |
|
It is possible that many cases of splenic infarcts in malaria are missed because ultrasound and CT of the abdomen are not routinely done in patients of malaria. |
|
In addition, the abdomen was noted for a thickened porcelain gallbladder, diverticulosis, a healed splenic infarct, bilateral adrenal hyperplasia, and atrophic ovaries. |
|
|
Less common radiographic findings include lymph node cavitation and splenic atrophy, which may be associated with more widespread lymphoid tissue atrophy. |
|
The severity of PPF reflects host immunogenic response and degree of infection, which amplify splenic volume and consequently increase hyperflux in the spleno-portal region. |
|
Besides left nephrectomy, iatrogenic splenic injury may happen during left hemi-colectomy, left adrenalectomy, and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. |
|
Splenic arteriogram which demonstrated multiple pseudoaneurysms arising from the second order splenic artery branches which was angioembolized and treated. |
