A bezoar is a hard, and solid, foreign body located in the gastrointestinal tract that may recur. Bezoar is classified according to its origin. Pharmacobezoars develop in the gastrointestinal tract due to alterations in anatomical structure and/or intestinal motility. In this paper, a case, not yet defined in the literature, of a pharmacobezoar causing a mechanical obstruction that is accompanied by a malignancy in the colon is reported, with the aim of contributing to the literature.

Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv, v for variant) is a genetic disorder characterized by the deposition of misfolded transthyretin (TTR) protein in tissues, resulting in progressive dysfunction of multiple organs, including the nervous system, heart, kidneys, and gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Noninvasive serum biomarkers have become key tools for diagnosing and monitoring ATTRv. This review examines the role of available biomarkers for neurological, cardiac, renal, gastrointestinal, and multisystemic involvement in ATTRv.

A niche in the context of microorganisms defines the specific ecological role or habitat inhabited by microbial species within an ecosystem. For the human commensal Malassezia, the skin surface is considered its primary niche, where it adapts to the skin environment by utilising lipids as its main carbon and energy source. However pathogenic characteristics of Malassezia include the production of allergens, immune modulation and excessive lipid utilisation, which result in several diseases such as pityriasis versicolor, seborrheic dermatitis, Malassezia folliculitis and atopic dermatitis.

With the increasing incidence of non-hereditary Parkinson's disease (PD), research into the involvement of specific environmental factors, in addition to aging, has become more prominent. The effects of microplastic exposure on public health have gained increased attention as it is known to cause a range of neurotoxic changes, some of which are similar to the pathological features of PD. We carried out low-dose microplastic exposure experiments on mice and Caenorhabditis elegans models and implemented a survey regarding the utilization of plastic products in the population.

Erastin, as an effective ferroptosis inducer, has received extensive attention in anti-tumor research. To develop an oral nanocarrier for high efficient loading hydrophobic erastin, here we prepared a fluoro-liposome (FA-3 F-LS) by the self-assembly of the folic acid modified fluorinated amphiphiles-FA-3 F conjugates. The hydrophobic component of three perfluorooctyl chains endows the FA-3 F-LSs with high stability to resist the harsh gastrointestinal tract condition.

Gastrointestinal tract-related cancers pose a significant health burden, with high mortality rates. In order to detect the anomalies of the gastrointestinal tract that may progress to cancer, a video capsule endoscopy procedure is employed. The number of video capsule endoscopic ( ) images produced per examination is enormous, which necessitates hours of analysis by clinicians.
