Pathologic Features of Miscellaneous Foregut Malignancies.

Neuroendocrine neoplasms are a heterogeneous group of tumors that can occur in almost any organ and share a common neuroendocrine phenotype.

Pathologic Features of Esophageal and Gastric Malignancies.

Esophageal cancer is the eighth most common cancer globally, affecting approximately 570,000 people worldwide and currently ranking sixth among cancer-related mortality (Uhlenhopp et al. in, Clin J Gastroenterol 13:1010-1021, 2020). The prognosis is poor as many patients present with locally incurable or metastatic disease.

Prebiotic utilisation provides a competitive advantage , but is not reflected by an increased intestinal fitness.

Synbiotics combine the concepts of probiotics and prebiotics to synergistically enhance the health-associated effects of both components. Previously, we have shown that the intestinal persistence of inulin-utilizing Lp900 is significantly increased in rats fed an inulin-supplemented, high-calcium diet. Here we employed a competitive population dynamics approach to demonstrate that inulin and GOS can selectively enrich strains that utilize these substrates for growth during cultivation, but that such enrichment did not occur during intestinal transit in rats fed a GOS or inulin-supplemented diet.

Neural correlates of the sound facilitation effect in the modified Simon task in older adults.

Introduction: The ability to resolve interference declines with age and is attributed to neurodegeneration and reduced cognitive function and mental alertness in older adults. Our previous study revealed that task-irrelevant but environmentally meaningful sounds improve performance on the modified Simon task in older adults. However, little is known about neural correlates of this sound facilitation effect.
