INTRODUCTION Pneumatosis coli is a rare disease with heterogeneous symptoms which can be detected in the course of various acute and chronic intestinal diseases in children, such as necrotizing enterocolitis, intestinal obstruction and intestinal bacteriological infections. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 12-month-old boy who died of pneumatosis coli caused by an acute intestinal ga...

Although intestinal metastases from lung cancer are not rare at postmortem studies, the development of clinically significant symptoms from the gastrointestinal metastases is very unusual. We report a case of small intestinal hemorrhage leading to intestinal perforation secondary to metastases from a large cell carcinoma of the lung in a 31-year-old man along with a review of the literature.

Five children with atrial isomerism developed intestinal obstruction caused by malrotation of the gut. Other than asplenia, the extracardiac anomalies in these syndromes are rarely regarded as important as the outcome after intestinal surgery is poor. As cardiac treatment improves, early investigation and intervention for intestinal symptoms becomes more important.

Intestinal dysbiosis has been described in patients with certain gastrointestinal conditions including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and ulcerative colitis. 2?-fucosyllactose (2?-FL), a prebiotic human milk oligosaccharide, is considered bifidogenic butyrogenic. To assess effects of 2?-FL, alone or combination probiotic strains (potential synbiotics), vitro experiments were conducted on stool ...

Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBDs), including Ulcerative Colitis (UC), Crohn’s Disease (CD), Irritable Syndrome (IBS), and Coeliac (CoD), primarily affect the intestinal tract but show some extra-intestinal manifestations affecting skin, joints, liver, pancreas, lungs. The aim of this survey was to define how often these conditions oral manifestation. study involved 46 patients 56 recruited at ...

Intestinal intussusception is a common problem in the children, but in adults, it's very unusual. It's responsible for 1-2% of the intestinal obstruction in adults. Adult intussusception etiology differs from that in pediatric patients. Almost all of such cases are due to organic lesions in the adult. Patients commonly presents with nonspecific signs and symptoms similar to a bowel obstruction....

Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction is a rare intestinal motility disorder. It is characterized by recurrent or persistent findings of intestinal obstruction in the absence of any mechanical obstruction. Various systemic or congenital diseases are held responsible in the etiology; moreover, it is accepted as idiopathic upon failure of detection of a true reason. We present hereby two rare cas...

Influenza in humans is often accompanied by gastroenteritis-like symptoms such as diarrhea, but the underlying mechanism is not yet understood. We explored the occurrence of gastroenteritis-like symptoms using a mouse model of respiratory influenza infection. We found that respiratory influenza infection caused intestinal injury when lung injury occurred, which was not due to direct intestinal ...
