Cannabinoids and the Gastrointestinal Tract

Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2023
The synthesis and degradation of endocannabinoids, location of cannabinoid (CB) receptors, and cannabinoid mechanisms of action on immune/inflammatory, neuromuscular, and sensory functions in digestive organs are well documented. CB2 mechanisms are particularly relevant in immune and sensory functions.

Pharmacology for the gastrointestinal tract

Clinics in Perinatology, 2002
A variety of drugs are used in the neonatal nursery for the management of feeding intolerance, gastroesophageal reflux, and acid-related disease.

Methane and the Gastrointestinal Tract

Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 2009
Several gases are produced through enteric fermentation in the intestinal tract. Carbon dioxide, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, and methane are thought to be the most common of these. Recent evidence suggests that methane may not be inert. In this review article, we summarize the findings with methane.This is a review article discussing the various ...

Neuroimmunophysiology of the gastrointestinal tract

American Journal of Physiology-Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology
Gut physiology is the epicenter of a web of internal communication systems (i.e., neural, immune, hormonal) mediated by cell-cell contacts, soluble factors, and external influences, such as the microbiome, diet, and the physical environment. Together these provide the signals that shape enteric homeostasis and, when they go awry, lead to disease ...

Dosimetry of the Gastrointestinal Tract

Health Physics, 1966
Abstract This paper briefly reviews the dosimetry of the GI tract given in ICRP Publication 2 and comments on certain aspects of it. New equations are derived for calculations of (MPC) w for the four sections of the GI tract. Values for (MPC) W are calculated from these equations using values for the parameters obtained from Eve.

Volvulus of the gastrointestinal tract

British Journal of Hospital Medicine
Volvulus describes the twisting of the intestine or colon around its mesentery. Intestinal obstruction and/or ischaemia are the most common complications of volvulus. Within the gastrointestinal tract, there is a preponderance towards colonic volvulus.

Nutrition and the gastrointestinal tract

Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, 2012
In this year’s issue, we again have a high-calibre collection of topical reviews. Gracie and Ford commence with an assessment of the role of symbiotics (i.e. probiotics and prebiotics given together) in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. They first review the many randomized trials of probiotics and the significant and persistent reductions in ...

HEALING IN THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1997
Healing in the GI tract is rapid when free of complications: Unlike cutaneous healing, in which progress can be observed on a daily basis and intervention instituted early if necessary, healing of the intestinal anastomosis is anatomically obscured from inspection, allowing the surgeon only the patient's parameters of general well-being to judge the ...
