... Abstract This review of sinonasal adenocarcinoma, both intestinal and non-intestinal type, aims at providing a comprehensive overview of etiological factors, diagnostic workup, histological subtypes, advances in molecular characterization and the genetic basis, current optimal treatment...

... intestine, alterations in small intestinal motility were described in IBS, at rest, following food ingestion and in response to stressful stimuli; some of the abnormal patterns identified seemed to correlate temporally with certain symptoms. More recently, interest in the potential roles of such phenomena...

... Short bowel syndrome Intestinal failure Malabsorption Key Messages For optimal treatment of a child with intestinal failure, knowledge of the residual bowel length and location is crucial. Enteral feedings should be initiated as early as medically feasible to promote maximum...

...Key Messages Define parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis and intestinal failure-associated liver disease. Review population characteristics, clinical risk factors, and diagnostic algorithms. Appraise the evidence for the prevention and management of disease with a focus...

... including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Impaired function of the intestinal epithelium has been implicated in IBD pathogenesis, yet underlying mechanisms remain ill defined. The work of our group focuses on investigating the role of DNA methylation in regulating cellular function of the human intestinal...

... cervix, etc. The omentum can be used for wound coverage. However, there are limitations of raising visceral flaps: (1) short duration of ischemia tolerance, (2) laparotomy requirement with its associated potential risk, (3) old age (significant comorbidities or intestinal adhesion due to previous...

... Abstract Intestinal failure (IF) is caused by the critical reduction of functional gut mass below the minimal amount necessary for adequate digestion and absorption to satisfy body nutrient and fluid requirements for maintenance in adults and growth in children. The advent of parenteral...

... pouchitis and UC can be treated with probiotics. Serologic markers recognizing intestinal bacteria and yeast are present in the majority of Crohn's disease patients and may predict disease aggressiveness. Abnormal profiles of fecal and mucosally associated enteric bacteria (dysbiosis) occur in Crohn's...

... Abstract The intestinal mucosa is the largest body surface exposed to the environment. While there are common features when comparing immune responses along the intestinal mucosa, the small bowel and colon exhibit striking differences in their mechanisms driving immune regulation. The vitamin...

... Abstract The microbes in the human intestinal tract interact with the host to form a ‘superorganism'. The functional aspects of the host microbe interactions are being increasingly scrutinized and it is becoming evident that this interaction in early life is critical for development...

... Abstract Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a rare syndrome at the extreme end of severe functional bowel disorders. The clinical picture is characterized by a marked impairment of gut propulsive motility, thus mimicking a mechanical obstruction in the absence of any detectable...

... Abstract The intestinal mucosa possesses a complex epithelial barrier and a well-organized local immune system, which both efficiently protect this internal-external surface against potential microbial aggressions while guaranteeing tolerance towards harmless bacteria or antigens (oral...

..., and functional roles of human microbiota. The initial colonization and subsequent development of the intestinal microbiota in early life is a key step for the composition of the human microbiota throughout one's life. An increasing body of evidence highlights the role of nutrition both in early infancy...

... Abstract New sequencing technologies together with the development of bioinformatics allow a description of the full spectrum of the microbial communities that inhabit the human intestinal tract, as well as their functional contributions to host health. Most community members belong...

... Abstract The intestinal microbiota of humans and other animals is an important determinant of health because it has properties that program the innate immune system, affect the availability of nutrients and bioactives from the diet, regulate barrier function, and restrict pathogen access...

... Abstract Human intestines harbor a diverse microbial community composed of a large number of bacteria and other microorganisms. These intestinal microbiota have evolved to achieve a symbiotic relationship with the host. In addition to aiding host metabolic pathways by breaking down foods...
