Symptoms include projectile vomiting without the presence of bile. [1] This most often occurs after the baby is fed. [1] The typical age that symptoms become obvious is two to twelve weeks old. [1] The cause of pyloric stenosis is unclear. [2] Risk factors in babies include birth by cesarean section, preterm birth, bottle feeding, and being ...
[1] [2] Biliary reflux can be confused with acid reflux, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). While bile reflux involves fluid from the small intestine flowing into the stomach and esophagus, acid reflux is the backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus. These conditions are often related, and differentiating between the two ...
Primary bile acid diarrhea (Type 2 bile acid "malabsorption") may be caused by an overproduction of bile acids. [5] [9] Several groups of workers have failed to show any defect in ileal bile acid absorption in these patients, and they have an enlarged bile acid pool, rather than the reduced pool expected with malabsorption.

Reactive gastropathy, is characterized histologically by: [2] - Foveolar hyperplasia (black arrow), as a tortuosity in the "neck" region of the gastric glands. - Scant or minimal inflammatory cells (white arrow), i.e. lack of large numbers of neutrophils and plasma cells.. - Smooth muscle hyperplasia in the lamina propria (in black oval).
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an intestinal disease that affects premature or very low birth weight infants. [4] [1] Symptoms may include poor feeding, bloating, decreased activity, blood in the stool, vomiting of bile, multi-organ failure, and potentially death.
[1] [2] [3] There is a significant correlation between the syndrome and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD); however, it is estimated to occur in less than 1% of children with reflux. [ 4 ] Symptoms and signs
There is seldom nausea preceding the expulsion, and the undigested food lacks the bitter taste and odour of stomach acid and bile. [2] Symptoms can begin to manifest at any point from the ingestion of the meal to two hours thereafter. [3] However, the more common range is between thirty seconds and one hour after the completion of a meal. [4]
The aflatoxin damaged liver cells and bile duct cells are removed by neutrophil elastase [23] and by involvement of immune system mediators such as CCL-2 or MCP-1, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin-6 (IL-6), TGF-beta, endothelin (ET), and nitric oxide (NO). Among these, TGF-beta is the most important pro-fibrogenic cytokine that can be ...
