No difference in the incidence of NEC (stage ≥II), intestinal perforation, mortality from NEC, age at NEC diagnosis, or feeding intolerance between groups was found. [48] ...

A multicenter trial provides additional evidence that breastmilk provides protection against NEC. [53] Neonates in the study were divided into groups fed only formula, those receiving formula and ...

Celiac disease and gluten sensitivity damage intestinal villi and create malabsorption that often shows up in nail changes before digestive symptoms become severe.

If you have coeliac disease, eating foods that contain gluten can damage your villi, structures in the small intestine that help the body absorb nutrients. Following a meal containing gluten, you may ...

Therefore, we determined how the Western-style diet, as a model of sporadic intestinal cancer, altered programming in either crypt or villus cells of the histologically normal mucosa before tumors ...

Background: Small intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) show apoptosis in physiological turnover of cells and in certain inflammatory diseases. Aims: To investigate the role of caspases in the progression ...

Epithelial cells shed from the intestinal villus in starved rats were trapped in mucus which the goblet cells were stimulated to secrete; the number of trapped cells per villus was counted in whole ...

Villous atrophy occurs when your intestinal villi —the microscopic, finger-like tentacles that line the wall of your small intestine—erode away, leaving a virtually flat surface. Celiac disease, an ...

Three sections were prepared for each intestinal segment. For each section, three non-overlapping fields of view were randomly selected. The microscopic images were analyzed using ImageJ software to ...
