Unlabelled: Gastrojejunocolic fistula (GJF) is an infrequent condition that presents late as a complication of gastroenterostomy conducted for complications of peptic ulcer disease and is believed to be a result of continuous acid secretion due to insufficient stomach resection and incomplete vagotomy. Symptoms of the fistula present late, usually 20 years or more after gastroenterostomy. Patients with GJF usually present with chronic on-and-off diarrhea, weight loss, fecal-smelling belching or vomiting, and malnutrition.

Background: Following acute myocardial infarction (MI), irreversible damage to the myocardium can only be reduced by shortening the duration between symptom onset and revascularization. While systemic hypothermia has shown promising results in slowing pre-revascularization myocardial damage, it is resource intensive and not conducive to prehospital initiation. We hypothesized that topical neck cooling (NC), an easily implemented therapy for en route transfer to definitive therapy, could similarly attenuate myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI).

Disruption in the nerve-tumor interaction is now considered as a possible anticancer strategy for treating various cancer types, particularly colorectal cancer. However, the underlying mechanisms are not still fully understood. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the effects of sympathetic and parasympathetic denervation on the inhibition of colorectal cancer progression in early and late phases and assess the involvement of nerve growth factor in denervation mediated anticancer effects.

Circadian phase shifts in peripheral clocks induced by changes in feeding rhythm often result in insulin resistance. However, whether the hypothalamic control system for energy metabolism is involved in the feeding rhythm-related development of insulin resistance is unknown. Here, we show the physiological significance and mechanism of the involvement of the agouti-related protein (AgRP) in evening feeding-associated alterations in insulin sensitivity.
