1. Prevention of Postoperative Duodenal Ileus by COX-2 Inhibition Improves Duodenal Function in Anaesthetised Rats
Abstract : Abdominal surgery inhibits gastrointestinal motility, a phenomenon referred to as postoperative ileus. Since the postoperative ileus disturbs duodenal physiology it is important to minimize the side effects of this condition. READ MORE

2. Luminal Hypotonicity and Duodenal Functions : An Experimental Study in the Rat
Abstract : After drinking water, the fluid quickly leaves the stomach thereby creating a hypotonic luminal environment in the duodenum. This in turn constitutes a potential threat to the integrity of the duodenal epithelium. It therefore seems highly likely that luminal hypotonicity activates physiological mechanisms that aim to increase luminal osmolality. READ MORE

3. Membrane transport and the human small intestine : Relation to mucosal protection, intestinal anaphylaxis and nitric oxide
Abstract : The tightly adherent monolayer of epithelial cells that line the luminal side of the intestine provides a dynamic and highly regulated barrier to the passive and active transport of ions, water and macromolecules. Cathecol-O-methyl transferase inhibition prevents tissue degradation of catecholaminesincluding dopamine and intracellular carbonic anhydrase activity is an important regulator of ion and water transport in the small intestine.

4. Regulation of Duodenal Mucosal Barrier Function and Motility : The Impact of Melatonin
Abstract : The duodenal mucosa is regularly exposed to acid, digestive enzymes and ingested noxious agents. It is thus critical to maintain a protective barrier to prevent the development of mucosal injury and inflammation, which are often observed in situations when barrier function is impaired. READ MORE

5. Sleep and cardiovascular health in women : the Stockholm female coronary risk study
Abstract : Background: Both sleep disturbances and snoring has been related to an increased mortality and CHD risk. However, despite the fact that women report sleep difficulties more often than men, most studies have been done in men. A large amount of the studies is of cross-sectional character and no conclusions about cause and effect can be drawn. READ MORE
