Toddler's diarrhea may be an allergic disease and its recurrences can be avoided with education to "internal spontaneity" in feeding, i.e., by education to a limited and reproducible decrease in eating incentives at the onset of meals.

Diarrhea, a descriptive term used in medical science for a variety of clinical diseases, denotes an illness that is categorized differently and known by numerous terms in various cultures. These diversified classifications and terminologies are based on the symptoms of diarrheal disorders, their

OBJECTIVE Congenital diarrhea disorders are a group of genetically diverse and typically autosomal recessive disorders that have yet to be well characterized phenotypically or molecularly. Diagnostic assessments are generally limited to nutritional challenges and histologic evaluation, and many

OBJECTIVE Proprotein convertase 1/3 (PC1/3) deficiency, an autosomal-recessive disorder caused by rare mutations in the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1) gene, has been associated with obesity, severe malabsorptive diarrhea, and certain endocrine abnormalities. Common variants in

OBJECTIVE The aim of this report is to delineate the clinical, pathologic, and enteroendocrine (EE) features of prohormone convertase 1/3 (PC1/3) deficiency in children. BACKGROUND Prohormone convertases play a pivotal role in the activation of biologically inactive hormones. Congenital defects in

BACKGROUND Congenital deficiency of the neuroendocrine-specific enzyme prohormone convertase (PC) 1/3 leads to a syndrome characterized by obesity, small intestinal dysfunction, and dysregulation of glucose homeostasis in humans. To date, only two unrelated subjects with this disorder have been

OBJECTIVE To study long-term changes in nutritional status and gastrointestinal (GI) functions of 15 women previously treated with radiotherapy for gynecological cancer. Two years prior to this research, these patients had been assessed twice: before external radiotherapy and 5 weeks later, at the

OBJECTIVE iEat®, a support food for the recovery of eating function, is food that can be easily masticated with little power and has suitable fluidity for enzyme processing, regardless of its normal appearance. We provided iEat® to 5 patients with carcinomatosis-related gastrointestinal passage

BACKGROUND In order to define appropriate plans for respiratory infectious diseases, in accordance with Iranian traditional medicine, one should cover the topic of "havae vabai". "Havae vabai" is related to the epidemics of respiratory infectious diseases. METHODS This study is a review of the role

The longitudinal intestinal lengthening, described by Bianchi in 1980, has been shown to be effective in improving intestinal function, absorption and transit time in patients with short-bowel syndrome. We report the long-term results of 18 survivors of a series of 25 intestinal lengthening

The author claims that dietary treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) consists of methods aiming at improvement of abdominal symptoms and functional disorder of the bowel. Patients with constipation are recommended to take dietary fiber positively, while those with diarrhea should consume

"Spontaneous," i.e., self-promoted, feeding without the promotion of offering of energy-dense food (eating incentives), was maintained for 7 months in a randomized, controlled, prospective, semiblind investigation in 88 2-year-old diarrheic children. This behavior was associated with 30% lower
