Decoding Gastric Reflexes: The Role of Mechanosensitive Enteric Neurons in Stomach Motility
ABSTRACT This review focuses on mechanosensitive enteric neurons (MEN) in the guinea pig stomach and their roles in gastric motor reflex pathways. The guinea pig model is advantageous for studying gastric physiology, as its stomach structure and function closely resemble those of humans. Gastric motility involves distinct functional regions: the fundus

Contemporary Concise Review 2024: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS Non‐smoking COPD is common in LMICs, especially in women. Biomass fuel and air pollution are major risk factors with distinct pathophysiology. The ‘eosinophilic’ endotype in COPD is biologically distinct from asthma. PRISm, FEV1/FVC Z‐scores, and quantitative CT improve early COPD detection.
