Since 1981, a consensus is appeared in order to define and to precise the natural evolution of short bowel with a maximal remaining small bowel of 150 cm. The phenomenon of intestinal adaptation which are better known in animals than in humans, are on the dependence of luminal, hormonal and humoral factors (epidermal growth factor, polyamines). The knowledge of prognostical factors and the anatomical and functional evaluation of remaining small bowel allow to "measure" the improvement of digestive absorption and to decide the duration of nutritional support. An experience in 80 cases of short bowel syndrome is reported. A significant correlation exists between the duration of parenteral nutrition support and the length of the remaining gut (p < 0.001) and multifactorial analysis differentiates 3 groups of short bowel characterized by their length and parenteral support duration.

Background: We aimed to examine the relationship between disease symptoms and disease phenotype in a large Canadian cohort of persons with Crohn's disease (CD).

Methods: Adults (n=1515) with CD from 14 Canadian centers participated in the Mind And Gut Interactions Cohort (MAGIC) between 2018 and 2023. Disease activity was measured using the 24-item IBD Symptom Inventory-Short-Form (IBDSI-SF).

Introduction: The gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in influencing host health, through the production of metabolites and other key signalling molecules. While the impact of specific metabolites or taxa on host cells is well-documented, the broader impact of a disrupted microbiota on immune homeostasis is less understood, which is particularly important in the context of the increasing overuse of antibiotics.

Methods: Female C57BL/6 mice were gavaged twice daily for four weeks with Vancomycin, Polymyxin B, or PBS (control).

Objective: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder. Increasing evidence suggests that it is potentially related to gut microbiota, but no prior bibliometric analysis has been performed to explore the most influential works in the relationships between ASD and gut microbiota. In this study, we conducted an in-depth analysis of the most-cited articles in this field, aiming to provide insights to the existing body of research and guide future directions.
