Slow Transit Constipation: Pathophysiological Perspectives and Management Updates

Journal of Digestive Diseases, EarlyView.
Slow transit constipation (STC) is a complex neuromuscular disorder driven by interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) loss and enteric neuropathy. Diagnosis relies on objective transit testing while excluding pelvic floor dysfunction. Management follows a stepwise, phenotype‐driven approach, progressing from conventional laxatives to emerging targeted ...

Meropenem‐Heparin Lock Therapy for Ochrobactrum intermedium Catheter‐Related Bloodstream Infection in a Pediatric Hemodialysis Patient: A Case Report and Literature Review

Hemodialysis International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In pediatric hemodialysis patients with exhausted vascular access, managing rare pathogens like Ochrobactrum intermedium is challenging, often posing a dilemma between catheter removal and salvage attempts. There are few reports on the supported viability of meropenem‐heparin lock therapy for this purpose in pediatric patients. Case
