First registry of adult patients with chronic intestinal failure due to short bowel syndrome in Argentina: The RESTORE project.

Background: Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is considered a low prevalence disease. In Argentina, no registries are available on chronic intestinal failure (CIF) and SBS. This project was designed as the first national registry to report adult patients with this disease.

Better quality of life and reduced fecal incontinence in rectal cancer patients with the watch-and-wait follow-up strategy.

Introduction: The watch-and-wait (WW) strategy is an alternative to anterior resection in patients with rectal cancer (RC) that have had a complete clinical response to neoadjuvant treatment. Few reports describe the quality of life and functional anorectal disorders (FADs) in that population.

Aim: To analyze and compare the FADs and quality of life in patients with locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the rectum treated with neoadjuvant therapy, divided into two different strategy groups: group 1 (G1), WW; and group 2 (G2), anterior resection.

Effect of NLS super strain in symptomatic coeliac disease patients on long-term gluten-free diet - an exploratory study.

NLS super strain ( NLS-SS) was previously shown to alleviate gastrointestinal symptoms in newly diagnosed coeliac disease (CD) patients consuming gluten. A high proportion of patients following a gluten-free diet experiences symptoms despite dietary compliance. The role of in persistently symptomatic CD patients has not been explored.
