Time Courses of Gastric Volume and Content after Different Types of Casein Ingestion in Healthy Men: A Randomized Crossover Study.

Background: Few studies have evaluated differences in the curd-forming ability of casein on gastric volume and content directly after ingestion in humans.

Objectives: This study evaluated the time course of gastric volume and curd conditions in the stomach after protein ingestion.

Methods: This was an open-labeled, randomized crossover trial.

[Acute hepatitis C infection with prolonged intrahepatic cholestasis and remarkable progression of fibrosis mimicking fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis].

We report the case of a 71-year-old woman with acute hepatitis C infection and persistent viremia since 2 years. Her clinical course was characterized by general fatigue and prolonged jaundice with unusually high serum bilirubin levels. Liver histology showed lymphocyte infiltration, marked fibrosis, and severe cholestasis in the periportal zone, findings mimicking fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis (FCH).
