Mechanisms of enteric neuropathy in diverse contexts of gastrointestinal dysfunction

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 37, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract The enteric nervous system (ENS) commands moment‐to‐moment gut functions through integrative neurocircuitry housed in the gut wall. The functional continuity of ENS networks is disrupted in enteric neuropathies and contributes to major disturbances in normal gut activities including abnormal gut motility, secretions, pain, immune dysregulation,

Improved diagnosis of active Schistosoma infection in travellers and migrants using the ultra-sensitive in-house lateral flow test for detection of circulating anodic antigen (CAA) in serum

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2018
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease affecting over 250 million people in the tropics. In non-endemic regions, imported Schistosoma infections are commonly diagnosed by serology, but based on antibody detection an active infection cannot be ...
