On April 15th, 1986, the patient, a 58-year-old man, felt ill because of a stomachache. On April 15, he was referred to our hospital and admitted after having been diagnosed as having pan peritonitis. During surgery, an extraintestinal growth, a small fist-size tumor, was detected in the jejunum. The tumor was partly perforated, and a partial resection of the small intestine was carried out. A histopathological examination led to the diagnosis of a leiomyosarcoma of the small intestine. On June 12, 1987, the patient again returned to our hospital, complaining of a stomachache. A reoperation was performed for perforative peritonitis due to its recurrence but only palliative treatment could be provided.

An experiment was conducted to assess the effects of the BCAA and their interactions on performance, carcass composition, lipid metabolism, liver health, and intestinal morphometry in broiler chickens. Male chickens ( = 1080) were randomly assigned into floor pens in a 3 × 3 factorial design with 3 dietary ratios of SID Leu:Lys (110, 150, and 190%), and 3 dietary ratios of SID Ile-Val:Lys (68-77, 78-87, and 88-97%). Performance parameters were assessed from 1 to 35 days of age.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Bacillus subtilis supplementation on the health of weaned piglets and whether Bacillus subtilis supplementation can reduce the damage of piglets induced by ETEC K88.

Methods And Results: The experiment was designed with a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement, comprising the control (CON) group, Bacillus subtilis (PRO) group, Escherichia coli K88 (ETEC) group, and Bacillus subtilis + ETEC (PRO + ETEC) group. Regardless of the presence of ETEC, the addition of PRO increased the piglets' final body weight (FW), average daily gain (ADG), and daily feed intake (ADFI).

Background: Gastric cancer remains a major global health challenge, ranking fourth in cancer-related deaths. Total gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy is the standard treatment, with advancements in surgery shifting towards minimally invasive techniques to reduce surgical trauma and metabolic response. Esophagojejunal anastomotic leak is a frequent complication of gastrectomy, significantly increasing morbidity and mortality rates by up to 64%.
