Experimental animal models in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

  Antonella Vetuschi

Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) including Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn’s Disease (CD) are chronic and progressive inflammatory disorders characterized by transmural tissue damage that promotes an excessive wound-healing response. The intestinal alterations elicit to a distorsion of the tissue architecture that may lead to fibrosis, strictures, stenosis and obstructions [1,2]. The medical treatment currently used in IBD (salicylates, antibiotics, steroids, immunosuppressive drugs, biological therapies) may relieve the inflammatory symptoms but are no effective to improve fibrosis and associate complications that still remain the major causes of surgical interventation [3,4].

A Case of Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasia with Classical Imagings

  Bilal Toka

Nowadays, with the help of improvements in scanning methods and increment of their application frequency, cystic lesions of pancreas especially in asymptomatic people with advanced age are detected with an increasing rate. IPMNs are originated from mucin-producing columnar cells and main pancreatic duct, branch duct or both may be involved in IPMNs. Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasia is a relatively rare condition that sometimes there is difficulty in diagnosis. Herein we presented an IPMN case with all classical appearances imaging modalities. Especially endoscopic view of the “fish-mouth” sign in ERCP of the patient was quite characteristic
