Large bowel strictures in retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) are uncommon. We report a case of multiple colonic strictures in a patient presenting with RPF and document their resolution following steroid therapy.

DIGITAL THERAPEUTIC COMBINING HYPNOSIS AND DIAPHRAGMATIC BREATHING INTERVENTION FOR FUNCTIONAL ABDOMINAL BLOATING (FAB): A FEASIBILITY STUDY.

Background And Aims: Abdominal bloating is a difficult symptom to treat. Hypnotherapy and diaphragmatic intervention have separately shown benefit on bloating in prior work but have not been united into a single intervention. We aimed to obtain data on the potential therapeutic impact of a novel audio-recorded bloating treatment for bloating integrating hypnosis and diaphragmatic breathing, with proposed synergistic effect.

Introduction: The current understanding of colorectal carcinogenesis is based on the adenoma-carcinoma sequence, where genetics, intestinal microbiota changes and local immunity shifts seem to play the key roles. Despite the emerging evidence of dysbiotic intestinal state and immune-cell infiltration changes in patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma, early and advanced adenoma as precursors of colorectal cancer, and carcinoma as the following progression, are rather less studied. The newly colon-site adapted AI-based analysis of immune infiltrates is able to predict long-term outcomes of colon carcinoma.

Ulcerative colitis affects the inner lining of the large intestine, causing discomfort, pain, and digestion issues, and sometimes leading to life-threatening complications. With proper medication, symptoms and inflammation can be reduced, improving the condition. In this research, a multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCN)-modified circular interdigitated electrode (circular-IDE) biosensor was developed to detect the ulcerative colitis biomarker lipocalin-2 and measured at 0-2 V.

Background: Visceral pain sensitization and emotional reactions due to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) occur frequently in the general population. Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of IBS. Previous studies have demonstrated that activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) has analgesic effects.

Given ketamine's conflicting impacts on the central nervous system, investigating its effects within an inflammatory context becomes crucial. This study aimed to assess the impact of varying ketamine doses on neurotrophin and inflammatory cytokine levels within the brains of rats submitted to the sepsis model. Wistar rats were submitted to the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model of sepsis.
