We studied the three-dimensional distribution of structures with calcitonin gene-related peptide-like immunoreactivity (CGRPI) in the rat stomach and duodenum, including the origins of these structures, using indirect immunofluorescence in both muscle strips and frozen sections. There was a very dense meshwork of CGRPI fibers in the circular and longitudinal muscle layers, and also in the myenteric and submucous plexuses of the stomach and duodenum. No CGRPI neurons were seen in the stomach, even in rats treated with colchicine; in the duodenum, there was a group of CGRPI cells in the myenteric and submucous ganglia. No regional differences were seen in the stomach and duodenum. We found by experimental manipulations that CGRPI fibers in the stomach were exclusively extrinsic in origin; some of such fibers in the duodenum were intrinsic in origin, though most were supplied by CGRPI cells outside the duodenum.

Background: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant colorectal tumour syndrome characterised by the formation of multiple adenomatous polyps throughout the colon. It is important to understand the extracolonic phenotype that characterizes FAP. Most previous case reports of patients with both FAP and intellectual disability (ID) have described deletions in all or part of chromosome 5q, including the APC locus.

The gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota plays a crucial role in host health and disease in dogs, but the knowledge regarding the mucosal associated microbiota along the GI tract is limited in dogs. Therefore, the objective of this study was to characterize the phylogeny and predicted functional capacity of microbiota residing on the gut mucosa across five GI regions of healthy young adult and geriatric dogs fed different diets. Twelve weanling (8 weeks old) and 12 senior (11.

Objectives: Radiotherapy manages pancreatic cancer in various settings; however, the proximity of gastrointestinal (GI) luminal organs-at-risk (OAR) poses challenges to conventional radiotherapy. Proton beam therapy (PBT) may reduce toxicities compared to photon therapy. This consensus statement summarizes PBT's safe and optimal delivery for pancreatic tumors.

Hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) and hypermobility Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) are frequently associated with gastrointestinal symptoms, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to compare antroduodenal motility in patients with and without HSD/hEDS. We included 239 patients (50 HSD/hEDS and 189 non-HSD/hEDS) with gastrointestinal symptoms undergoing antroduodenal manometry (ADM).

The rare gastrointestinal tract epithelial polyp known as a pyloric gland adenoma (PGA) is more common in elderly women and uncommon in the duodenum. There are reports of two PGA cases involving high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia. A 75-year-old man was admitted to the hospital as Patient 1 due to "epigastric distension and pain for more than 10 days".
