In addition the villi gradually become less numerous, smaller, and more finger-like, with distance from the duodenum. Numerouslymph nodes, called Peyer’s patches are present in the mucosa and submucosa of the ileum. The junction between the ileum and the large intestine is the ileocaecal ...
Histopathology of healthy and diseased pouches has shown that chronic inflammation is usual, even when the patient is asymptomatic.68,69Villus architecture is distorted, and colonic metaplasia is present in biopsies from most pouches, even in the absence of severe acute inflammation. Thus, these chan...

The inner hot region Comptonizes photons from the outer disk to give the primary spectral component. The spectrum of the high flux state is not compatible with such a geometry. Instead, it is consistent with a model where a hot corona covers a cold accretion disk and Comptonizes the disk...
Identifying the microbial diversity of the host gut is a necessary first step, but provides only limited information on functional aspects of the microbial community47. It is not only important to understand what microbial species may be present in the intestine, but it is more critical to unders...

whereas others stem from the small bowel in the pre-pouch region or the cuff of remnant anal tissue. Some authors are quite sceptical about the entity of pouchitis, believing that in many patients there are immunological features superimposed on non-specific inflammatory change in the ileal mucosa...
