SARS-CoV-2's closest relative, RaTG13, was generated from a bat transcriptome not a fecal swab: implications for the origin of COVID-19 [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
RaTG13 is the closest related coronavirus genome phylogenetically to SARS-CoV-2, consequently understanding its provenance is of key importance to understanding the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic. The RaTG13 NGS dataset is attributed to a fecal swab from the intermediate horseshoe bat Rhinolophus affinis.

Relationship between symptoms and quality of life in fecal incontinence

Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2018
Most measures of fecal incontinence (FI) severity assess the frequency of solid and liquid FI, but may incorporate other features. We compared two scales—the Fecal Incontinence Severity Score (FISS) and Fecal Incontinence Severity Index (FISI)—to ...

Faecal incontinence is associated with an impaired rectosigmoid brake and improved by sacral neuromodulation

Colorectal Disease, Volume 24, Issue 12, Page 1556-1566, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background The rectosigmoid brake, characterised by retrograde cyclic motor patterns on high‐resolution colonic manometry, has been postulated as a contributor to the maintenance of bowel continence. Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is an effective therapy for faecal incontinence, but its mechanism of action is unclear.

3D High‐definition anorectal manometry: Values obtained in asymptomatic volunteers, fecal incontinence and chronic constipation. Results of a prospective multicenter study (NOMAD)

Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2017
3D‐high definition anorectal manometry (3DARM) may aid the diagnosis of functional anorectal disorders, but data comparing asymptomatic and symptomatic subjects are scarce. We aimed to describe 3DARM values in asymptomatic volunteers and those with fecal
