Normal splenic size in infants and children: sonographic measurements.

Sonographic Assessment of the Normal Dimensions of Liver, Spleen, and Kidney in Healthy Children at Tertiary Care Hospital

“…However, available data are limited for the liver, spleen and kidney which causes difficulty in defining hepatomegaly, and splenomegaly on sonography. [2][3][4][5] These data are even scarce among children of eastern world and Indian subcontinent where children are constitutionally small that might affect the organs size. Therefore, this study was conducted with the primary objective to determine the normal size of liver, spleen and kidney in healthy Nepalese children and to determine the relationship of each organ with sex, height and body weight.…”

Sexual Dimorphism in the Dimensions of Spleen in the Population of North-West Ethiopia – An Observational Radiographic Study

“…Ultrasonography is a good modality for the detection of splenomegaly even when it is not clinically palpable. [2,8] The spleen varies considerably in size. But, on average it is 2.5 cm thick, 7.5 cm wide and 12.5 cm long.…”

“…[1] Assessment of organ size helps in the diagnosis of a disease process or determining its prognosis. [2] Haematological disorders include lymphomas and lymphatic leukaemia, haemolytic anaemia, chronic anaemia, congenital spherocytosis and myeloproliferative diseases such as polycythaemia Vera and myelofibrosis. Conditions causing portal hypertension such as cirrhosis or malignancy of liver invariably involve and cause enlargement of thespleen.…”

“…The closed 'fast flow' circulation drains blood directly into the venous sinusoids, flowing together to become trabecular veins. [2] In the open 'slow flow' circulation, blood flows into a reticular fibrous framework of the red pulp and/or via the marginal zone of the lymphatic tissue before reaching the sinusoids. [4] These variable circulatory routes through the splenic pulp may explain the unique inhomogeneous early enhancement pattern of the spleen on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.…”

The relationship between ABO blood group and acute myocardial infarction in patients referring to Amiralmumiin Hospital in Zabol in 2016

“…As clots increase, the stenosis of the vein is increased and ultimately the vessel closes. With the weakening of the heart and decreased cardiac output, the amount of oxygen transmitted from the lungs decreases and, consequently, the content and pressure of the arterial, tissue and veins oxygen is reduced significantly (5). Over the past few decades, studies have shown that ABO blood group is associated with coronary artery disease more frequently (6).…”
