Abernethy malformation: beware in cases of unexplained hepatic encephalopathy in adults-case report and review of the relevant literature

The Abernethy malformation consists of a congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt and is believed to be extremely rare in humans. The potential implications of abnormal portovenous shunting and decreased hepatic portal flow are numerous and potentially serious. Although congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunts are increasingly suspected and diagnosed in specialized centres, much of their clinical presentation and natural history is not fully understood. Symptoms of portosystemic shunt are mainly caused by increased levels of ammonia, which lead to signs of encephalopathy. Therapeutic options depend on the type of shunt and its clinical course, so the classification of the congenital portosystemic shunt is a key finding in these patients.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Chemical composition and anthelmintic activity in vitro of the essential oil of Mentha piperita: preliminary data.

Abstract: Research towards plant compounds with activity against worm parasites has been carried out for a number of decades; however it is especially important now when drench resistance has compromised the effectiveness of present control methods. In this study we characterized the composition of Mentha piperita essential oil and evaluated its anthelmintic effect against developmental stages of trichostrongylids from naturally infected goats (95% Haemonchus contortus and 5% Trichostrogylus spp.) through the egg hatch and larval development assays. The major constituent of the tested substance quantified by gas chromatography was menthol (58.35%). The lowest concentration of essential oil with 100% efficacy in all in vitro tests against caprine trichostrongylids was 0.35%. However, the equivalent dose of menthol alone (0.4%) was not fully effective against nematode egg eclosion. The anthelmintic activity of the essential oil of M. piperita showed good effectiveness in previous studies but also showed the presence of toxic compounds such as pulegone which could be toxic to goats according to allometric extrapolation. Our results show that the major component in the essential oil is not the only one responsible for the antiparasitic effect of M. piperita. Also, our data support the idea there is a wide variation in the composition of essential oils obtained from different sources. Thus, it is important that in assessing anthelmintic activity of plant candidates, the chemical composition should be thoroughly investigated before proceeding to the in vivo step.In conjunction with 53rd MSPTM Annual Conference
