Risk of intestinal parasitic infections in people with different exposures to wastewater and fecal sludge in Kampala, Uganda : a cross-sectional study [PDF]
, 2016 There are health risks associated with wastewater and fecal sludge management and use, but little is known about the magnitude, particularly in rapidly growing urban settings of low- and middle-income countries.

Effect of Ozone on Intestinal Epithelial Homeostasis in a Rat Model
Rambam Maimonides Medical Journal, 2015 Background: The positive effects of ozone therapy have been described in many gastrointestinal disorders. The mechanisms of this positive effect of ozone therapy are poorly understood.

Intestinal gene expression in pigs: effects of reduced feed intake during weaning and potential impact of dietary components [PDF]
, 2011 The weaning transition is characterised by morphological, histological and microbial changes, often leading to weaning-associated disorders. These intestinal changes can partly be ascribed to the lack of luminal nutrition arising from the reduced feed ...

World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2006 Intestinal failure is a condition characterized by malnutrition and/or dehydration as a result of the inadequate digestion and absorption of nutrients. The most common cause of intestinal failure is short bowel syndrome, which occurs when the functional gut mass is reduced below the level necessary for adequate nutrient and water absorption.

The Pathogenesis of Resection-Associated Intestinal Adaptation. [PDF]
Cell Mol Gastroenterol Hepatol, 2016 After massive small-bowel resection, the remnant bowel compensates by a process termed adaptation. Adaptation is characterized by villus elongation and crypt deepening, which increases the capacity for absorption and digestion per unit length. The mechanisms/mediators of this important response are multiple.

Intestinal barrier function and absorption in pigs after waeaning: a review [PDF]
, 2011 Under commercial conditions, weaning of piglets is associated with social, environmental and dietary stress. Consequently, small-intestinal barrier and absorptive functions deteriorate within a short time after weaning.

Short bowel syndrome and intestinal failure in adults: Anatomy-driven phenotypes, adaptation biology, and contemporary intestinal rehabilitation [PDF]
Halo 194Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is the leading cause of chronic intestinal failure in adults and most commonly follows extensive small-bowel resection. The resulting loss of absorptive surface and regulatory feedback leads to a spectrum of malabsorption ...

Increasing weaning age of piglets from 4 to 7 weeks reduces stress, increases post-weaning feed intake but does not improve intestinal functionality [PDF]
, 2010 This study tested the hypothesis that late weaning and the availability of creep feed during the suckling period compared with early weaning, improves feed intake, decreases stress and improves the integrity of the intestinal tract.

PLoS ONE, 2020 Background Short bowel syndrome (SBS) results from significant loss of small intestinal length. In response to this loss, adaptation occurs, with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) being a key driver.
