Milk Alkali Syndrome Complicated by Calcium Impaction Causing Bowel Perforation
Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases, 2022 The milk-alkali syndrome consists of hypercalcemia, metabolic alkalosis, and acute kidney injury associated with the ingestion of large amounts of calcium and absorbable alkali. There has been a resurgence of this condition because of calcium therapy for

Tumbling Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted In Vivo Drug Delivery in the GI Tract
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.We introduce a microrobot design and integrated system for on‐demand targeted drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot has an embedded magnet for actuation with external magnetic fields and is visualized in real time using ultrasound. It has two drug release ports sealed with a thermally sensitive wax. Local heating of the wax using a

Fecaloma presenting as huge abdominal mass
JGH Open, 2020 Fecal impaction is common in elderly, bed ridden, schizoaffective patients on antipsychotics. Intestinal obstruction due to distal colonic fecaliths is rare as it is amenable to digital manual evacuation and enemas.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.We demonstrated that high humidity worsened psoriasis relapse in murine psoriasiform skin inflammation by increasing skin‐resident memory CD8+ cells via upregulating IL‐15Rα on keratinocytes. The increases in IL‐15Rα and memory CD8+ cells were attributed to S. nepalensis and its metabolite ADMA in skin exposed to high humidity.

A case report of impacted fecalith within mucosal pouch: an unusual cause of colocolic intussusception [PDF]
Annals of ColoproctologyIntussusception involving the colon is unusual in adults and when present is managed with resection due to the risk of malignancy. We present an unusual case where the intussusceptum was impacted stool in a mucosal pouch in the transverse colon.

Savory satisfaction can lead to lower gastrointestinal impaction [PDF]
, 2013 The differential diagnosis for constipation is large and includes many common diagnoses as well asother unusual ones. Bezoars are one of the diagnostic "zebras" that we do not think of frequently.Bezoars are foreign material masses that are formed in the

A Bifunctional T3SS‐Effector Simultaneously Cleaves Host MAP Kinase and Inhibits PPM1A Phosphatase
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Pathogenic bacteria exploit the metalloprotease effector NleD to subvert host defenses. Structural, biochemical, and infection analyses reveal a bifunctional mechanism by which NleD binds and inhibits the host phosphatase PPM1A while preserving its proteolytic activity against MAPKs.

What treatments work best for constipation in children? [PDF]
, 2009 Osmotic laxatives produce the best results. Fiber and behavior modification may have a role. Increased fiber and behavior modification are the most often recommended first steps in managing chronic functional constipation (CFC) in children, but only ...
