Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders are a common cause of emergency presentation in rabbits. Gastrointestinal stasis is a syndrome that is frequently caused by various primary conditions (including but not limited to affections of the GI tract itself). Over the last years, clinical features, diagnosis, management, and prognosis of GI disorders-such as GI obstructions, appendicitis, rabbit hemorrhagic virus disease, or liver lobe torsion-have been studied. Recent data about diseases of the stomach, intestine, liver, and pancreas in rabbits are reviewed in this article.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers have faced challenges in treating benign biliary strictures (BBS) due to a lack of effective study models.
- The study aimed to create a rabbit model of BBS by surgically inducing bile duct injury, allowing for comprehensive examination of the condition.
- The model successfully exhibited symptoms such as jaundice and liver dysfunction, along with pathological changes that mirror human BBS, thus providing a valuable tool for further research.

Background: Non-invasive methods to diagnose non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), an inflammatory subtype of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), are currently unavailable.
Aim: To develop an integrin αvβ3-targeted molecular imaging modality to differentiate NASH.
Methods: Integrin αvβ3 expression was assessed in Human LO2 hepatocytes Scultured with palmitic and oleic acids (FFA).

Background/aim: This study aims to explore the role of NF-kB p65/p50 expression in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and normal controls.
Patients And Methods: Twenty patients with IBS, 19 subjects with IBD and 18 normal controls, who underwent colonoscopy, provided us with biopsies from the terminal ileum, cecum and rectum. Patients with IBS were categorized according to bowel habits.

Microsporidia are intracellular parasites with significant impact on both animal and human health. The prevalence of microsporidia infections in rabbits, including the genera Enterocytozoon and Encephalitozoon, underscores the importance of understanding their epidemiology for effective control strategies. This systematic review and meta-analysis estimated the global prevalence of microsporidia infection in rabbits using five databases (Scopus, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar) to retrieve articles published between 03 December 2003 and 26 March 2023.
