An ileostomy, therefore, creates a temporary or permanent opening between the ileum (the portion of the small intestine that empties to the large intestine) and the abdominal wall. The colon and/or rectum may be removed or bypassed. A temporary ileostomy may be recommended for patients ...
Our patient had typical NET with small dimensions and localized disease at the time of diagnosis. Despite this, we observed aggressive Cushing’s syndrome with a short duration of symptoms and life-threatening hypokalemia. It has been observed that there is no correlation between tumor size and ho...
Although the involvement of immune mechanisms in multiple sclerosis (MS) is undisputed, some argue that there is insufficient evidence to support the hypothesis that MS is an autoimmune disease, and that the difference between immune- and autoimmune disease mechanisms has yet to be clearly delineated...
Unlike our genes, which have remained relatively stable, our microbiome has undergone radical changes in response to shifts in our diet, our antibiotic use, and our increasingly sterile living environments, raising the possibility that "incompatibilities between the two could rapidly arise." In parti...
To address the extent of the transcriptional rewiring in the liver of NAD+-treated obese mice, we performed a transcriptomic analysis at light (ZT6) and dark (ZT18) phases in mouse livers from CD, HF, and HFN groups. 76 common genes were differentially expressed (DE) between day and nigh...
Research has suggested a link between the way red meat is prepared and cancer. “The risk seems to be higher when people eat in particular – red meats cooked to very high temperatures or over a flame”, Dr Nelson said. This is because carcinogens are created in food at high temperatures...
The researchers found no difference between calorie intake, energy expenditure, sleep duration, or levels of the appetite-related hormones leptin and ghrelin between the early and the late eaters. This suggested that the timing of the meal was, in and of itself, a significant factor influencing ...
The absence of any difference between the luminal areas of tall fescue and bermudagrass steers on Day 0 may have been due to the stress of placement into an unfamiliar environment when steers were taken off of pasture and placed into pens. Additionally, it has been previously noted that the ...
