III infants and children need zinc replacement in total parenteral nutrition solutions, but assessment of these needs and total body zinc status is difficult. Seven infants with severe diarrhea initially given 80 to 100 micrograms/kg/day of elemental zinc developed systemic zinc deficiency as

Activity of alkaline phosphatase (apical membrane) and Na+, K+-ATPase (basal membrane) is determined to decrease in the membrane fractions of intestinal epithelium in the diarrheic new born cattle. It is concluded that Na+, K+-ATPase of basal membranes play a fundamental role in Na+ loss by body

In developed countries, serotypes (or G types) have been identified in > 70% of group A rotavirus using monoclonal enzyme immunoassays (MEIAs); however, these assays have identified < 50% of rotavirus G types from developing countries presumably because the VP7 antigens were damaged by freezing and

The molecular mechanisms underlying how dietary lactoferrin (Lf) impacts gut development and maturation and protects against early weaning diarrhea are not well understood. In this study, we supplemented postnatal piglets with an Lf at a dose level of 155 and 285 mg/kg/day from 3 to 38 days

Diarrhea is a syndrome of digestive disorders in young rabbits and may lead to secondary infections resulting in reduced immunity and higher mortality in baby rabbits, with serious impacts on rabbit farming. In this study, we investigated the effects of diarrhea on the health of baby rabbits in

Brush border membrane-bound digestive enzymes such as disaccharidases (lactase, sucrase, and maltase), leucine aminopeptidase N, and alkaline phosphatase were measured in jejunum from pigs experimentally infected with porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). Three piglets from the infected and

OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of oral supplementation of the gut enzyme intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) in preventing antibiotic-associated infections from Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) and Clostridium difficile. BACKGROUND The intestinal microbiota plays a

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the potential benefit of dietary supplementation of a rice-lentil (Khitchri) and yogurt diet with 3 mg/kg/d of elemental zinc (as zinc sulfate) in hospitalized malnourished children (age 6-36 months) with persistent diarrhea for 14 days. METHODS Randomized, double-blind

BACKGROUND Hypokalemia of clinical significance, severe enough to cause paralysis and cardiac dysrhythmias, is an uncommon life-threatening medical disorder. Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HPP), where an abrupt intracellular shift of potassium has occurred, must be distinguished from hypokalemic

Overstimulation of CFTR-mediated Cl- secretion plays an important role in the pathogenesis of secretory diarrheas, which remain an important global health problem. This study aimed to identify inhibitors of CFTR-mediated Cl- secretion from a library of fungus-derived compounds and to evaluate their

The patient is a 42-year-old male with a past medical history of HIV/AIDS (his most recent CD4 count, four months before admission, was 19) and hepatitis C who presented to the Emergency Department complaining of one week of persistent nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. His admit labs were as follows:
