Gastric emptying, small intestinal transit and fecal output in dystrophic (mdx) mice.

2009

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), which results from deficiency in dystrophin, a sarcolemma protein of skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle, is characterized by progressive striated muscle degeneration, but various gastrointestinal clinical manifestations have been observed. The aim was to evaluate the possible impact of the dystrophin loss on the gastrointestinal propulsion in mdx mice (animal model for DMD). The gastric emptying of a carboxymethyl cellulose/phenol red dye non-nutrient meal was not significantly different at 20 min from gavaging between wild-type and mdx mice. The intestinal transit and the fecal output were significantly decreased in mdx versus normal animals, although th…

The management of crop-livestock systems at a territory level: the example of grain legume crops and of monogastric livestock in Burgundy, France

2012

Although cereals and oil seed crops are very developed in Burgundy, the area of grain legumes cultivation is small. Concerning monogastric livestock, the region is characterised by a medium size poultry production focussed on markets under quality and origin signs (SIQO) and a relatively small pig production. Although a tendency of co-location of these productions can be observed (at territory and farm scales) and some animals consume locally-produced proteins, there is no strong functional link between these crops and animal activities. This situation is confirmed by the fact that a significant proportion of produced grain legumes are exported by Burgundy, while large quantities of soybean…

Baveno VII – Renewing consensus in portal hypertension

2022

To expand on the work of previous meetings, a virtual Baveno VII workshop was organised for October 2021. Among patients with compensated cirrhosis or compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD – defined at the Baveno VI conference), the presence or absence of clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) is associated with differing outcomes, including risk of death, and different diagnostic and therapeutic needs. Accordingly, the Baveno VII workshop was entitled “Personalized Care for Portal Hypertension”. The main fields of discussion were the relevance and indications for measuring the hepatic venous pressure gradient as a gold standard, the use of non-invasive tools for the …

Gastric metastasis from breast cancer

2020

Introduction: Breast carcinoma is the most common malignancy in women and the main cause of tumor deaths. Despite early recognition by screening and improvement in treatment regimens, many patients will eventually develop metastases, either locoregional recurrences or distant metastases, most frequently in the skeleton, liver and lung. Metastases to the gastrointestinal tract are infrequent and not even mentioned in the major oncologic textbooks. Case presentation: We report a case of metastasis to the stomach from occult breast cancer. The diagnosis was established by computed tomography (CT), histologic and immunohistochemical analyses of biopsies of the stomach lesion. The patient was tr…

Management of Patients with Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer: From Theory to Integrated Clinical Path- ways Implementation in the Real Wor…

2022

Introduction: Best care of esophagogastric junction and gastric cancer (EGC) requires a complex, timely interaction between members of a multi-disciplinary team (MDT). An integrated clinical pathway (ICP) is necessary to achieve this goal as well as the implementation of its use in daily practice. The objective of this study was to elaborate on an integrated clinical pathway for the multi-disciplinary management of ECG. Authors also put in act an implementation program to improve adherence to guidelines thought an ICP. Method: This prospective work carried out by a multi-institutional MDT in Italy identified expert panel extracted relevant recommendations and/or statements from published pa…
