Small intestinal disorders in the elderly

Best Practice & Research. Clinical Gastroenterology

Abstract

The topic of gastroenterology (GI) in the elderly has been extensively reviewed. It takes special skill, patience and insight to interview the elderly, as well as to appreciate their altered physiology and interpretation of their presenting symptoms and signs, often against an extreme background of complex medical problems. The maldigestion and malabsorption coupled with altered motility contributes to the development of malnutrition. There generally a decrease of function of the GI tract, but there may be loss of adaptability in response to changes in diet or nutritional stress. Pathological alterations which might lead to minor overall intestinal functional variations in the young because of a normal process of adaptation, may lead to much more serious events in the elderly.

Adult Stem Cells

Adult stem cells reside in unique niches that provide vital cues for their survival, self-renewal, and differentiation. They hold great promise for use in tissue repair and regeneration as a novel therapeutic strategies. Here is the latest research.

Cancer Epigenetics & Metabolism (Keystone)

Epigenetic changes are present and dysregulated in many cancers, including DNA methylation, non-coding RNA segments and post-translational protein modifications. The epigenetic changes may or may not provide advantages for the cancer cells. This feed focuses on the relationship between cell metabolism, epigenetics and tumor differentiation.

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.

Atrophic Gastritis

Atrophic Gastritis is a process where gastric glandular cells are lost and replaced with firbous tissues, as a result of chronic inflammation. Learn more about Atrophic Gastritis here.
