The aim of this study was to investigate whether heparan sulfate, as an adjunct to resuscitation following hemorrhagic shock: (1) improves gut absorptive capacity and if so, (2) whether the mechanism involved is alteration of whole blood viscosity (WBV). Rats were anesthetized, a laparotomy

The aim of this study was to determine whether ATP-MgCl2 as an adjunct to resuscitation has any beneficial effect on the depressed gut absorptive capacity (GAC) after hemorrhage and, if so, whether alterations in whole blood viscosity (WBV) are, in part, responsible for those effects. Rats were

We are reporting on four infants with cow's milk protein intolerance who presented with hypochromic anemia and occult gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed erosive gastritis or gastroduodenitis in all cases. Management with a cow's milk-free diet led to a favorable

Although bacterial translocation occurs after trauma-hemorrhage, it is unknown whether gut absorptive capacity (GAC) is altered under those conditions. The aim of this study, therefore, was to determine this and also whether diltiazem (DZ) has any effect on GAC after hemorrhage. Rats (n = 12; 270 to

Recently, it has become evident that the gut plays a central role in the development of multiple organ failure in the critically ill patient after trauma-hemorrhage and sepsis. However, it remains unknown whether gut absorptive capacity (GAC) is altered under those conditions. The aim of this study,

Aqueous and KCl-soluble polysaccharides were extracted from Laurencia dendroidea (Rhodomelaceae, Ceramiales) and their chemical profile was accessed by anion-exchange chromatography, chemical and spectroscopic analyses. The homogeneous agaran DHS-4 (181.3 × 10³ g. mol^-1, 21.3%

Accidental or intended radiation exposure in mass casualty settings presents a serious and on-going threat. The development of mitigating and treating agents requires appropriate animal models. Unfortunately, the majority of research on radiation enteritis in animals has lacked specific assessments

Systemic amyloidosis involving the digestive tract is described in an 11-year-old Morgan stallion. The disease was characterized clinically by weight loss, ptyalism, anaemia, persistent mature neutrophilia, hypoalbuminaemia and hypergammaglobulinaemia. The D-xylose absorption test indicated

Intestinal transplantation using living-related donors could potentially reduce the severity of rejection responses against this highly immunogenic organ by better tissue matching and shorter cold ischemia duration, compensating for the shortage of donor grafts. The purpose of this study is to

Iron status, iron absorption, and intestinal blood loss were studied in 199 children undergoing diagnostic evaluation for suspected malabsorption. Evaluation of iron status included hematological indices, serum ferritin, and transferrin saturation. Iron absorption was assessed by the increment of

BACKGROUND Serial transverse enteroplasty (STEP) is a novel intestinal lengthening procedure introduced in 2003. To date, no human studies exist that report objective assessment of intestinal absorptive capacity. The aim of this study was to report intermediate outcomes in patients who have received
