corticosteroids, the prognosis is more guarded. In these cases, further testing is suggested to see if an underlying disease can be identified. Some forms of inflammatory bowel disease may progress to intestinal cancer. Chronic inflammation has been hypothesized as a cause of GI lymphoma in cats....
It is often blamed on eating too fast, having a "sensitive stomach," or hairballs.Endoscopic biopsies of the stomach, the presumed site of the problem, are usually normal, show mild inflammation, or recover Helicobacter. After using this approach for several years, I decided to image the ...

Animal studies, supported by some human findings, have shown mast-cell activation, accretion, and impairment of the serotonin transporter by inflammation, as well as changes of the microbiota. Mast cell and lymphocyte production and an alteration in cytokine level and intestinal permeability seem also...
in metagenomic surveys of whole colon RNA samples, where increased expression of common viruses is associated with bacterial dysbiosis and an increased expression of endogenous retrovirus RNA, which effectively lowers the threshold for triggering inflammation through innate immune pathways [4]. However, ...
Changes specific to the submucosal layer of the bowel have also been reported in certain diseases, such as canine schistosomiasis. A thickened submucosal layer, with or without mineralization, has been associated with edema, granulomatous inflammation, and fragmented schistosome eggs in multiple cases ...
