Spontaneous intestinal intramural haematomas are uncommon in the absence of trauma and may occur in those on anticoagulation. A young girl presented with generalised abdominal pain and was found to have pneumoperitoneum. She underwent an exploratory laparotomy and was found to have multiple ileal intramural haematomata with an area of possible perforation with a collection of pus. We believe that this is the first reported case of a rupture of spontaneous intestinal intramural haematoma in a young girl with no history of anticoagulation use or coagulation disorders.

Background: Current treatment of giant omphalocele in newborns is not standardized. The main treatments include one-time repair and staged surgery using synthetic and biologic mesh, or silos. However, surgery can lead to various postoperative complications.

Immunoglobulin A (IgA), the most abundantly produced antibody at mucosal surfaces, is thought to play key roles in immune responses to respiratory and enteric pathogens and in the regulation of commensal colonization. Low IgA levels have been associated with recurrent infections and immune dysregulation, including inflammatory bowel disease and autoimmunity. Levels of IgA in maternal breast milk and infant stool are both inversely associated with the emergence of immune responses to food antigens in infants and, in naturally resolving food sensitivity and immunotherapy protocols, the induction of IgA antibodies to dietary antigens has been associated with the acquisition of food tolerance.

Background And Aim: Lubiprostone increases chloride and water secretion in the intestines, and several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of lubiprostone in treating functional constipation. Several new clinical trials have emerged since the previous meta-analysis conducted in 2020. We conducted this updated meta-analysis to assess clinical efficacy of lubiprostone in these patients.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a multifactorial condition with heterogeneous pathophysiology, including intestinal permeability alterations. The aim of the present study was to assess the ability of a probiotic blend (PB) consisting of two strains (CECT7484 and CECT7485) and one strain of (CECT7483) to recover the permeability increase induced by mediators from IBS mucosal biopsies and to highlight the underlying molecular mechanisms. Twenty-one IBS patients diagnosed according to ROME IV criteria (11 IBS-D and 10 IBS-M) and 7 healthy controls were enrolled.

Dysregulation at the intestinal epithelial barrier is a driver of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the molecular mechanisms of barrier failure are not well understood. Here, we demonstrate dysregulated mitochondrial fusion in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) of patients with IBD and show that impaired fusion is sufficient to drive chronic intestinal inflammation.
