Article Synopsis
  • - Neonatal sepsis poses a serious threat to newborn health, leading to high rates of illness and death, and emphasizes the need for prompt detection to improve long-term health outcomes.
  • - A new, non-invasive technology called cNose, which uses volatile organic compound biomarkers and machine learning algorithms, was developed to quickly diagnose sepsis at the point of care.
  • - The cNose system demonstrated high accuracy (90.63%), sensitivity (88.24%), and specificity (93.33%) in identifying sepsis in neonates, showcasing its potential to enhance real-time diagnosis and patient care.

Studies on the contribution of enteric neuropathy and intestinal homeostasis to central nervous system degeneration using animal models have reported varying results. Recently, colonic myenteric plexus degeneration was observed in trimethyltin-treated rats. Further characterization of this animal model is necessary to determine its potential for investigating the relationship between the enteric nervous system and central nervous system degeneration.

Purpose: We investigated the effect of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α antagonist on the structure and function of the streptozotocin-nicotinamide (STZ-NA)-induced diabetic rat colon.

Methods: Thirty rats were divided into normal control (NC), diabetic control (DC), and diabetic etanercept (DE) groups. The DE group was injected with etanercept twice a week.

Background: With improvement in a population's welfare, its food consumption patterns may change, including those of nursing mothers. This, in turn, could influence their human milk composition.

Research Aim: To investigate the secular trend in macronutrient composition of mature human milk from mothers of healthy, full-term infants in urban populations in Indonesia from 1974 and 2019.

Gastrointestinal symptoms are common health problems found during aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Trimethyltin-induced rat is known as an animal model of hippocampal degeneration with no data on enteric neurodegeneration. This study aimed to investigate the effect of trimethyltin (TMT) induction on the gastrointestinal tract.
