Infectious Diseases of the Small Intestine

Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2006
Infectious diseases of the small intestine are prevalent around the world. Intestinal infections can be caused by viruses, fungi, bacteria, and parasites. Conventional endoscopy has a limited role in the evaluation of infectious disease of the small intestine. Capsule endoscopy is a noninvasive modality to examine the small bowel.

Probiotics in Intestinal and Non-Intestinal Infectious Diseases – Clinical Evidence

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2008
There is increasing evidence that certain probiotic strains can be useful in improving human health. The use of probiotics has received attention as a natural way of restoring body's normal microbiota, and an alternative and inexpensive way of preventing or treating infectious diseases without side effects.

Biopsy diagnosis of intestinal infectious diseases

Current Diagnostic Pathology, 2000
Abstract Infectious diseases of the gastrointestinal tract can be broadly divided into three morphological categories: (1) non-specific active infectious bacterial colitis caused by infectious agents such as Campylobacter , Shigella or Salmonella , (2) specific histopathological changes such as Cytomegalovirus colitis, or colitis associated with ...

The role of neuroenteric hormones in intestinal infectious diseases

Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 2000
It is now well established that communication among the enteric nerves, hormones, and neuropeptides plays a role in the pathogenesis of infectious gastrointestinal conditions. The results of several studies suggest that enteric nerves and hormones modulate important gastrointestinal functions such as intestinal motility and transport, intestinal ...

Application of Intestinal Xenografts to the Study of Enteropathogenic Infectious Disease

1997
We have developed, characterized and utilized paired segments of fetal intestine subcutaneously transplanted into heterogenic nude or SCID mice as a model system for the study of viral, bacterial and protozoal pathogens. The xenografted intestine matures in the recipient mouse and is biochemically and anatomically comparable to intestine from age ...

study of infectious intestinal disease in england 1993 1996

2003
The aim of the study was to estimate the number of cases of gastro-enteritis, or infectious intestinal diseases (IID) occurring in the population of England, and to find out how many people with IID consulted their GPs and how these numbers compared with the numbers in national surveillance.

Intestinal Infectious Diseases

1990
We begin now a systematic study of mortality by cause, following the order of the rubric number of the Ninth Revision, 1975, of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). Thus, we begin with the infectious or organismal diseases. It is necessary to give, if only for the ease of remembering, some character to the disease rubrics, so we give the

Intestinal Ion and Nutrient Transport in Health and Infectious Diarrhoeal Diseases

Drugs, 1988
Absorption of water from the intestine occurs in response to the osmotic gradient as a passive consequence of the active transfer of solutes (nutrients and electrolytes, with Na absorption playing a key role) from the intestinal lumen to the serosal side.

Neuroimmune Interactions and Pathogenesis of Intestinal Inflammation in Infectious Diseases

2014
The attachment of bacteria to mucosal surfaces is the initial event in the pathogenesis of several bacterial infections in the gastrointestinal tract. Macrophages also express substance P (SP) mRNA, which can be upregulated, leading to the release of SP when exposed to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in vitro or during intestinal inflammation in ...

Foodborne transmission of infectious intestinal disease in England and Wales, 1992–2003

Food Control, 2007
This paper reports information on foodborne outbreaks of infectious intestinal disease (IID) in England and Wales during the period 1992–2003 collected as part of a major investigation into Breakdowns in Food Safety. Between 1992 and 2003, 7620 general outbreaks of IID were reported to the Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre and in 1729 (23%) the ...
