Green tea and its main polyphenolic component, (−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), exert powerful anti-inflammatory effects that are protective against both inflammatory diseases cancer. Research with animal human cell lines provide plausible support for these claims. Poor absorption results in low systemic bioavailability of EGCG after oral administration but high colonic mucosal exposure. Patients mild to moderate ulcerative colitis (UC) were randomized daily doses Polyphenon E (400 mg...
Factors underlying gastroparesis are not well defined, nor is the mechanism of action gastric electrical stimulation (GES). We hypothesized that GES acts via several mechanisms related to disordered pathophysiology.We studied 43 consecutive eligible patients with gastroparetic symptoms, previously evaluated by two methods in each five core areas: inflammatory, autonomic, enteric, electrophysiologic, and hormonal; also categorized GI metabolic status, illness quantification, physiology. then...
Gastroparesis (Gp) is a poorly understood chronic gastrointestinal medical condition for which patient reported outcomes (PRO) are lacking. Previously developed symptoms scoring has been used several decades. Using scores as basis documentation, 12 years of support/focus group feedback from the nearly 1000 attendees were integrated with care and recommendations treatment developed. Early attenders support compared non-attendees illness acuity, disability, duration number office phone...
Abstract Surprising social complexity and variability have recently been documented in several mammalian species once believed to be strictly solitary, variation resource abundance may drive this sociality. Wagner et al. (Wagner, A. P., S. Creel, L. G. Frank, T. Kalinowski. 2007. Patterns of relatedness parentage an asocial, polyandrous striped hyena population. Molecular Ecology 16:4356–4369) reported unusual space-use patterns among female hyenas (Hyaena hyaena) central Kenya, where...
Anthropogenic disturbance, such as land conversion, recreation, and predation, can affect how wildlife select resources across the landscape. Prey species are thought to rely on both a cognitive map of risks ('landscape fear') schedule ('schedule navigate their environment make trade-offs among habitats. Using popular game species, Canada goose (Branta canadensis), we aimed expand our understanding landscape fear by evaluating resource selection home range changed in response predation...
Introduction: Referral access to subspecialty care for patients (pts) with GI diseases is not well defined. We hypothesized that might have barriers between 2 common subspecialties—liver and motility— in a university medical center. Methods: 213 consecutive (mean age 46.5 years; 66.5% females; 85.6% Caucasians) were evaluated by formatted questionnaire on care. Liver disease older (49.7 years, p=0.008); motility predominantly female (76.8 %): gender distribution was more even liver (51.2%...
In August, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy issued a new policy requiring that all federally funded scholarly research be accessible to public immediately upon publication. While this open access will ultimately benefit society by increasing availability data outputs, it could place heavy burden on researchers due relatively high cost alongside an academic culture tends favor publishing in impact subscription journals. We examine complexities traditional landscape...
