Acidic colonic microclimate

Acidic colonic microclimate--possible reason for false negative hydrogen breath tests.

About 5% of normal subjects fail to produce increased hydrogen breath concentration after ingestion of the non-digestible carbohydrate lactulose (low hydrogen producers). The existence of low hydrogen producers limits the diagnostic use of hydrogen (H2) breath tests. We studied the effects of lactulose and of magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) pretreatment on stool-pH and on hydrogen exhalation after o...

Engrained experience—a comparison of microclimate perception schemata and microclimate measurements in Dutch urban squares

Acceptance of public spaces is often guided by perceptual schemata. Such schemata also seem to play a role in thermal comfort and microclimate experience. For climate-responsive design with a focus on thermal comfort it is important to acquire knowledge about these schemata. For this purpose, perceived and "real" microclimate situations were compared for three Dutch urban squares. People were a...

رژیم‌درمانی در Colonic interposition و گاسترکتومی همزمان

  Background: Diet therapy in gastrointestinal (GI) surgeries is influenced by site of surgery and its complications. Some GI surgeries are rare so diet therapy becomes complicated. The aim of this report is informed the appropriate nutritional management in wide and rare GI surgeries.   Case report: The case is a patient by colon interposition and partial gastrectomy surgery. Complications suc...

Microclimate Conditions and Space Use Variations

This paper is a part of study about the impact of the microclimate on the space use and the user’s behaviours. The purpose of our study is to get an in-depth understanding of how people use out door public spaces in different climatic conditions, how their behaviour and perception of the space change with the climatic variations. We have employed a multi-method approach which combines a “qualit...
