Background: Malabsorptive interventions are recognized as procedure of choice in metabolic surgery and the best strategy for re-do surgery when restriction failed. We describe a novel procedure, the ileal food diversion, an easy and effective non-restrictive one-anastomosis gastric bypass.

Methods: We report the preliminary results of a series of 68 consecutive patients performed by two surgeons in two different hospitals since 2009 (49 females, 13 re-do surgeries).

Results: Mean operating time was 65 min. All operations were performed by laparoscopy (three-trocar technique in 44 cases and 24 single-incision laparoscopies). Median follow-up is 9.6 months (range 2-48). Diabetes resolution was accomplished in 80% of patients. Average BMI decreases from 44 to 27 after 24 months.

Conclusions: Ileal food diversion is an interesting option in super-obese patients, re-do surgery and patients with metabolic syndrome. Technical considerations, physiological assumptions and rationale were discussed.

Introduction: Enterotoxic (ETEC) is the main pathogen that causes diarrhea, especially in young children. This disease can lead to substantial morbidity and mortality and is a major global health concern. Managing ETEC infections is challenging owing to the increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance.

Approach to Therapy for Chronic Pouchitis.

Annu Rev Med

January 2025

Department of Medicine, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, California, USA.

Chronic pouchitis (CP) occurs in approximately 20% of patients with ulcerative colitis after total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis and is categorized as antibiotic dependent, antibiotic refractory, or Crohn's disease-like. The management of CP is challenging because of limited evidence and few randomized controlled trials. In this review, we discuss the medical management of CP and its supporting data delineated by type of therapy.

Understanding protein fermentation in the hindgut of pigs is essential due to its implications for health, and ileal digesta is commonly used to study this process . This study aimed to assess the feasibility of utilizing digested residues as a replacement for ileal digesta in evaluating the protein fermentation potential. residues from cottonseed meal, maize germ meal, peanut meal, rapeseed cake, rapeseed meal, soybean meal and sunflower meal were analysed using a modified gas production (GP) technique and curve fitting model to determine their fermentation dynamics and compare with the use of ileal digesta.

The intestinal microbiota is known to be altered by -induced coccidiosis, but it remains unclear whether the microbiota is fully restored after recovery. To address this, 110 newly hatched Cobb male broiler chickens were challenged with 2 × 10 sporulated oocysts of (EM) strain M6 or mock-infected with saline on day 10. Body weight and feed intake were recorded.

Grana Padano (GP) is an Italian hard cooked cheese characterized by a long ripening process and high protein and Ca contents. After in vitro static simulated gastrointestinal digestion, GP digest contained caseinophosphopeptides that were 6 to 24 amino acids in length, including tri-phosphorylated species incorporating the pSer-pSer-pSer-Glu-Glu cluster. Using rat ileum tissue, the digest was used to assess Ca absorption ex vivo, which showed significantly better results for the GP digest in comparison to the CaCO aqueous solution.
