Functional Outcomes After Surgery for Total Colonic, Long‐Segment, Versus Rectosigmoid Segment Hirschsprung Disease [PDF]
ABSTRACTObjectives:Knowledge on long‐term outcomes in patients with Hirschsprung disease is progressing. Nevertheless, differences in outcomes according to aganglionic lengths are unclear. We compared long‐term bowel function and generic quality of life in Hirschsprung patients with total colonic or long‐segment versus rectosigmoid aganglionosis ...

Thanks to the latest developments in mass spectrometry, software and standards, metaproteomics is emerging as the vital complement of metagenomics, to make headway in understanding the actual functioning of living and active microbial communities. Modern

Algebraic independence and linear difference equations [PDF]
We consider pairs of automorphisms $(\phi,\sigma)$ acting on fields of Laurent or Puiseux series: pairs of shift operators $(\phi\colon x\mapsto x+h_1, \sigma\colon x\mapsto x+h_2)$, of $q$-difference operators $(\phi\colon x\mapsto q_1x,\ \sigma\colon x\mapsto q_2x)$, and of Mahler operators $(\phi\colon x\mapsto x^{p_1},\ \sigma\colon x\mapsto x^{p_2}

Functional and mechanical sequelae of colon interposition for benign oesophageal disease1 [PDF]
In an attempt to estimate the incidence and severity of the functional and mechanical problems associated with colon interposition for benign oesophageal disease, a retrospective analysis of a single centre experience was undertaken.Between 1961 and 1990, a total of 365 patients who survived the postoperative stay in hospital were followed up over 7-38

Humans have long-used mushrooms as food and medicine, but digestion and colonic fermentation of most mushrooms, including Lentinus squarrosulus is markedly unknown. Here, nutritional profile, digestion and colonic fermentation of L.

Dynamic Colonization of Microbes and Their Functions after Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for Inflammatory Bowel Disease [PDF]
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)—transferring fecal microbes from a healthy donor to a sick patient—has shown promise for gut diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease. However, unlike pharmaceuticals, fecal transplants are complex mixtures of living organisms, which must then interact with the microbes and immune system of the recipient.

Objectives: Gastrointestinal disorders, such as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) and functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), involve disrupted homeostatic interactions between the microbiota and the host.

AIMS NOD2 and CD1d play a key role in innate immunity by recognizing conserved molecular patterns of pathogens. While NOD2-/- and CD1d-/- mice display structural and functional alterations in Paneth cells, animal studies have reported no impact of NOD2 ...
