The laparoscopic findings observed in eight patients with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia are reported. Clinical signs or laboratory data suggestive of liver involvement were present in all cases and constituted the main indication for laparoscopic examination. Characteristic vascular lesions distributed at random were found in four cases. Numerous oval, round or polygonal areas of 0.5 to 1.5 cm in diameter were observed on the external surface of the liver. They were of a reddish or pink colour, flat or slightly raised, and made up of a dense vascular meshwork. In one patient macronodular cirrhosis was associated with the vascular lesions. In the remaining four cases laparoscopic examination did not show striking vascular changes, although the liver biopsy revealed a fatty liver in three cases and micronodular cirrhosis with intense inflammatory activity, steatosis and Mallory bodies in one case. In these cases the accompanying hepatic lesions could probably not be aetiopathogenically related to Osler's disease.

Phlebotomy is the removal of blood from the body, and therapeutic phlebotomy is the preferred treatment for blood disorders in which the removal of red blood cells or serum iron is the most efficient method for managing the symptoms and complications. Therapeutic phlebotomy is currently indicated for the treatment of hemochromatosis, polycythemia vera, porphyria cutanea tarda, sickle cell disease, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease with hyperferritinemia. This review discusses therapeutic phlebotomy and the related disorders and also offers guidelines for establishing a therapeutic phlebotomy program.

We investigated the effects of four iso-nitrogenous (40% crude protein) and iso-caloric (17.6 kJ g(-1)) diets with different dietary carbohydrate levels (15%, 20%, 25% and 30%) on the growth performance, feed utilization efficiency, body composition and liver histology of Malaysian mahseer (Tor tambroides) fingerlings in a 10-week feeding trial. Fish (initial weight of 0.8?0.1 g; initial total length 4.2?0.1 cm) were fed twice daily at 4% body mass. Dietary carbohydrate level had significant effects (P<0.05) on weight gain, SGR (specific growth rate), FCR (feed conversion rate), PER (protein efficiency rate), survival percentage and all nutrient retention values (PRV, LRV, CRV, ERV). Protein, carbohydrate and gross energy composition of the fish body were also significantly differed (P<0.05) among treatments. Liver histology showed mild hepatic steatosis and hypertrophy for fishes receiving a higher dietary carbohydrate inclusion. In general, treatments with 20% and 25% dietary carbohydrate levels produced better growth results compared to the rest of the treatments. Using a second-order polynomial regression analysis model, the optimal dietary carbohydrate level of 23.4% was estimated for mahseer fingerlings. ?
