11. Gastrointestinal symptoms in chronic renal failure. Prevalence and pathophysiological mechanisms
Abstract : Chronic renal failure (CRF) has a varying etiology and is characterised by an increasing accumulation of toxic metabolic waste products in the blood. Malnutrition is a common finding in uraemic patients and is regarded as a marker for morbidity and mortality. Many factors, including gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, lead to malnutrition in CRF.

12. Bile Acid Induced Diarrhoea Pathophysiological and Clinical Aspects
Abstract : A common cause for referral to gastroenterologists is chronic watery diarrhoea. Approximately 40% of these patients have idiopathic bile acid malabsorption (BAM) ? a condition with unknown aetiology. The 75SeHCAT test, which correlates inversely with faecal excretion and hepatic synthesis of bile acids, is used to diagnose BAM. READ MORE

13. The small bowel and functional dyspepsia : peptide hormones and neurotransmitters
Abstract : Functional dyspepsia (FD) is believed to be caused by pathophysiological changes in the upper gut. Gastro-intestinal motility, epithelial transport and signalling is associated with the metabolism of nutrients and the complex regulation of hunger and satiety. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and peptide YY (PYY) are considered “hot targets”. READ MORE

14. Nutritional rehabilitation of persistent diarrhea in childhood : factors determining recovery and the relationship of systemic infections with intestinal function
Abstract : Nutritional rehabilitation of persistent diarrhea (PD), a major killer of children in the third world, poses an enormous challenge. We validated the efficacy of a traditional local weaning diet based on rice-lentils (Khitchri) and yogurt (K-Y diet) for nutritional rehabilitation of PD. READ MORE

15. Upper gastrointestinal motility, gut hormones and food intake : a study in normal weight and obese humans
Abstract : The regulation of food intake in man is complex and poorly understood. The main aim of the present study was to investigate how a rapid stimulation of the distal small bowel with nutrients influences upper gastrointestinal motility, some gut peptides and food intake in man. READ MORE
