Disorders of the oesophagus and stomach in infants

Baillière's Clinical Gastroenterology

Abstract

Pathological processes and disease entities in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract, specifically those of the oesophagus and the stomach in infancy, have received a disproportionately small amount of attention until recently when appreciation of their pathophysiology and concordant importance in terms of symptomatology has been highlighted. This is probably a phenomenon secondary to improved diagnostic yield from the recent technical advances in areas such as infant endoscopy and a shift in opinion regarding the pathophysiological origin of ubiquitous symptoms of infancy such as feeding disorders, colic and irritability. In addition, the apparently complex interactions of various aetiological factors such as pH-independent gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR), cow's milk protein intolerance (CMPI), Helicobacter pylori gastritis and upper GI motor disorders have in the past 1-2 years become underlined in terms of aetiopathogenesis and have radically changed thinking regarding diagnosis and therapy of infants with apparent upper-GI-associated symptoms. The contribution to comprehension of infant upper GI disorders of inflammatory paradigms and ontogeny of the upper GI tract is also a recent area worthy of mention. The recent advance...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
