Eicosanoids in the gastrointestinal tract [PDF]
British Journal of Pharmacology, 2018 Eicosanoids play important roles in modulating inflammation throughout the body. The gastrointestinal (GI) tract, in part because of its intimate relationship with the gut microbiota, is in a constant state of low‐grade inflammation. Eicosanoids like PGs, lipoxins and leukotrienes play essential roles in maintenance of mucosal integrity.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in

An investigation of a Mollicute-like organism inhabiting the human gastrointestinal tract
, 2009 The microflora inhabiting the human gastrointestinal tract can be considered an essential 'metabolic organ', in a symbiotic relationship with its host. Due to the low cultivability and inappropriate sampling methodology the microflora is poorly explored ...
