The baseline fecal microbiome differs in patients with and without anastomotic leakage after colorectal cancer surgery.

Background: Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a severe complication of colorectal surgery. The risk of AL is affected by both surgery and patient factors. Gut microbiomes can be generated from the residual material from the fecal immunochemical test (FIT).

Case series: Treatment considerations in x-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.

Aims: To describe our treatment considerations obtained from the dental care of several boys affected with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) and to discuss the different problems that may arise in connection with these kinds of treatments.

Study Design: The subject group included 10 males affected with X-linked HED, treated at the department of Paediatric Dentistry and Clinical Genetics, Copenhagen School of Dentistry. All patients were treated, after a period of adaptation, with removable prostheses and whenever necessary, composite restoration of the conical crown morphology of the maxillary incisors.

Effect of commercial rye whole-meal bread on postprandial blood glucose and gastric emptying in healthy subjects.

Background: The intake of dietary fibre has been shown to reduce the risk of developing diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of commercial rye whole-meal bread containing whole kernels and white wheat bread on the rate of gastric emptying and postprandial glucose response in healthy subjects.

Methods: Ten healthy subjects took part in a blinded crossover trial.

Effects of 1 and 3 g cinnamon on gastric emptying, satiety, and postprandial blood glucose, insulin, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, glucagon-like peptide 1, and ghrelin concentrations in healthy subjects.

Background: A previous study of healthy subjects showed that intake of 6 g cinnamon with rice pudding reduced postprandial blood glucose and the gastric emptying rate (GER) without affecting satiety.

Objective: The objective was to study the effect of 1 and 3 g cinnamon on GER, postprandial blood glucose, plasma concentrations of insulin and incretin hormones [glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1)], the ghrelin response, and satiety in healthy subjects.

Design: GER was measured by using real-time ultrasonography after ingestion of rice pudding with and without 1 or 3 g cinnamon.

Effect of muesli with 4 g oat beta-glucan on postprandial blood glucose, gastric emptying and satiety in healthy subjects: a randomized crossover trial.

Objective: Products enriched with oat beta-glucan have been shown to reduce postprandial glucose and insulinemic responses. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of an extruded muesli product based on oat beta-glucan on the rate of gastric emptying, postprandial blood glucose and satiety in healthy subjects.

Methods: Gastric emptying rate (GER) was measured by standardized real-time ultrasonography.
