Abstract While esophageal varices is a disease process it is mainly caused by other conditions. Most notably are liver cirrhosis (caused by either alcohol abuse or hepatitis infection) and deep vein thrombosis of the mesenteric or portal veins. Because the only real symptom of esophageal varices is bleeding it is often only diagnosed after an episode of bleeding or as part of a work up for another condition such a liver cirrhosis. due to late diagnosis and the asymptomatic nature of this illness

Interventional Radiology (IR) is a fast growing and advancing radiology modality. With that growth comes new and innovative procedures‚ such as chemoembolization. With the introduction of chemoembolization for the treatment of‚ primarily‚ liver tumors‚ a question emerges; which radiologic modality is better: chemoembolization or traditional radiation therapy? While both chemoembolization and traditional radiation therapy have their benefits and obstacles‚ will chemoembolization be more effective

Between the two layers of the lesser omentum‚ close to the right free margin‚ are the hepatic artery‚ the common bile duct‚ the portal vein‚lymphatics‚ and the hepatic plexus of nerves—all these structures being enclosed in a fibrous capsule (Glisson’s capsule). 1 : common bile duct – The common bile duct (ductus choledochus) is a tube-like anatomic structure in the

absorbed better and use properly. To metabolize calcium the hormones that help in that process are the parathyroid hormone and the modified steroid calcitriol a form of vitamin D‚ which promote better absorption of the calcium ion into the body’s circulation system and the counter balance protein hormone calcitonin promotes a decrease in circulating calcium. Calcium homeostasis is achieved by three central tissues‚ the kidney‚ intestines and bones. The hormonal target for calcium balance in bones is

process‚ therefore some fructose is metabolized into glucose in the absorptive cells. The monosaccharides produce from digestion process are then absorbed into mucosal cell and enter the blood stream‚ which carries them to the liver via hepatic portal circulation (capillaries of the intestinal villi). In the liver‚ galactose and fructose are converted to glucose or further metabolized forming a glycogen and fat. Glucose will go into part of the body where it is most needed as source of energy or

Pulmonary circulation: Pulmonary circulation transports deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs where the blood picks up oxygen and returns to the left side of the heart. The pumping chambers of the heart that support the pulmonary circulation loop are the right atrium and right ventricle. 2. Systemic circulation: Systemic circulation carries
