Gastroenteritis is inflammation of the stomach and intestines, commonly caused by infections from bacteria, viruses, or parasites.
In the majority of children the mucosa was most abnormal in the proximal small intestine but in two children the whole length of the small intestine was equally abnormal and in one child the ileum was chiefly affected. The mucosal abnormality occurred more commonly in the children under 6 ...
3 The mucosa of the small intestine is involved in secretory and absorptive functions and contains a single layer of epithelial cells called enterocytes. The mucosa along the length of the small intestine is formed into villi, which are fingerlike projections into the intestinal lumen that enlarge...
Gastroenteritis is a relatively common illness and the length of time it lasts can vary significantly from person to person. Depending on whether it is viral or bacterial, gastroenteritis can affect adults for up to a week, although symptoms should start to ease two days after they develop. Sym...
It's highly contagious and humans are the only known reservoir of the virus although it can survive for a significant length of time in the environment. Person-to-person transmission is the most frequent cause of outbreaks, and this may occur by the faecal-oral route, by ingestion of ...
The number of mucus-producing cells along the intestinal length can give a good indication of mucus production in a particular species, age-group or individual [141]. We demonstrated that the number of mucus-producing cells per total epithelial cells increased with pig’s age along the whole in...

Medilac-S: this is “good bacteria”, a powder you put in water 3 times a day. It helps replenish your stomach with healthy bacteria, and also improves overall symptoms and length. Good stuff. Also has a kids version Medilac-Vita. ...
3-5 For acute gastroenteritis in particular (a common condition with established guidelines shown to reduce costs, length of hospital stay, and duration of illness),6-8 more than 30% of children at a sample of US major children's hospitals received care inconsistent with current guidelines.4 ...
and a noninfectious cause in 8% of patients, supporting the need to remain diligent in looking for other causes of diarrhea even in an outbreak. In this study, length of hospital stay (median: 5.5 days) was independent of the pathogen, but was associated with patients who had underlying me...
