RESUMEN
Approximately 95% of intussusception occurs in children, However it is a rare entity in adults accounting for 0.003% to 0.02 % of all the hospital admissions. Various causes of intussusception are well known, However intussusception caused by heterotropic pancreas is extremely rare and the rarity increases manifolds if it is in the duodenum of an adult and the cause being heterotropic pancreas. We report this rare case of intussusception due to pancreatic heterotropia in 43 year old male who presented with acute pain abdomen.
RESUMEN
Capillary electrophoresis [CE] method was developed for screening plant extract for potential alpha amylase [AA] inhibitory activity. The method was validated against a well established UV method. Overall, the proposed method was shown able to detect plants with significant alpha amylase inhibitory activity but not those with rather clinically insignificant activities. Fifty plant species were screened using both the proposed CE method and the UV method and seven plant species were found to possess significant AA inhibitory activities. Two plant species were proved to have alpha amylase inhibitory activity for the first time
