Researchers have discovered a way to help aging intestines heal themselves using CAR T-cell therapy. By targeting senescent cells that build up over time, the treatment boosted gut regeneration, reduced inflammation, and improved nutrient absorption in mice.
Blast wave damage affected lungs, ears, and abdominal organs, rupturing eardrums, lungs, and intestines. The blast was potent. The causes of death include deep wounds and excessive bleeding, with cross-injury patterns indicating victims were thrown against walls or the ground.
In an unusual medical emergency, doctors treated two siblings, aged three and four, who suffered severe tears and injuries in their stomach and intestines after swallowing small toy magnets purchased online from a leading children's toy brand.
Using a novel approach, the medical team employed a cardiac occluder device, typically used in heart surgeries, to seal the fistulas, offering a new treatment option for this challenging condition.
A team of doctors, led by Dr Shubham Vatsya, Senior Consultant in Gastroenterology at Fortis Hospital, Vasant Kunj, assessed the case and removed the cockroach through a 10-minute endoscopic procedure.
One of the most striking examples of gut plasticity can be seen in animals that are subjected to prolonged periods of fasting, such as hibernating animals or phyton snakes that go months without eating, where the gut shrinks by up to 50 per cent but recovers in size after a few days of refee
The incident came to light when a 26-year-old young patient came to the emergency ward of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital with complaints of repeated vomiting and abdominal pain for more than 20 days. The patient was also not able to eat anything.
Resistant starch is a nondigestible fibre that ferments in the large intestine and has previously been found to boost metabolism in animal tests.
A 4-month randomised controlled experiment in persons with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) found that regularly eating resistant starch
Resistant starch is a nondigestible fibre that ferments in the large intestine, and it has previously been demonstrated in animal experiments to have a favourable effect on metabolism. A 4-month randomised controlled experiment in persons with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has fo
We've all experienced the workings of the so-called "brain-gut-axis," or how stress affects our intestines. However, researchers still don't know much about the relationship between our gut and our brain.
High use of soybean oil has been associated with obesity and diabetes, as well as autism, Alzheimer's disease, anxiety, and depression. Add ulcerative colitis, a kind of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterised by chronic inflammation of the large intestine, to the growing list.
