We report a male patient with fibromyalgia that significantly improved pain and associated symptoms without medication, physical therapy or psychotherapy. Psychological stress has been implicated in the origin of fibromyalgia and avoidance of stress may be pivotal to its treatment. There are no conclusive studies demonstrating the beneficial effects of diet to treat fibromyalgia, however some r...

Diarrhea remains a common problem for patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection despite highly active antiretroviral therapies (HAART) and can negatively affect patient quality of life and lead to discontinuation or switching of HAART regimens. In the era of HAART, diarrhea from opportunistic infections is uncommon, and HIV-associated diarrhea often has noninfectious causes, in...

A leak is a vertex that not allowed to perform force during the zero forcing process. Leaky was recently introduced as new variation of in order analyze how leaks network disrupt The ?-leaky number graph size smallest set can despite ? leaks. G ?-resilient if its same number. In this paper, we and show an (??1)-leaky B robust enough, then set. This provides framework for characterizing sets. Fu...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Defective epithelial barrier has been implicated in the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate gut permeability in patients with inactive ulcerative colitis (UC) and in patients with IBS. METHODS IBS patients of the diarrhea-predominant (IBS-D) and of the constipation-predominant subgroup (IBS-C)...

We present a model of the internal representation and reproduction of temporal durations, the 'dual klepsydra' model (DKM). Unlike most contemporary models operating on a 'pacemaker-counter' scheme, the DKM does not assume an oscillatory process as the internal time-base. It is based on irreversible, dissipative processes in inflow/outflow systems (leaky klepsydrae), whose states are continuous...

Oxidative reactions in premixes or final-compound feed pose considerable challenges to the poultry industry, both terms of rancidity reducing palatability and shelf life vivo oxidative stress negatively impacting animal performance. Whilst there has been broad awareness oxidation for many years, recognition impact on industry grown past twenty years. The appearance woody breast associated muscl...

Autism is a life-long developmental disorder affecting as many as 1 in 500 children. The causes for this profound disorder are largely unknown. Recent research has uncovered pathology in the gastrointestinal tract of autistic children. The pathology, reported to extend from the esophagus to the colon, is described here along with other studies pointing to a connection between diet and the sever...

While irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is still considered a ‘disorder of gut function’ and is diagnosed on the basis of symptoms, evidence is growing to indicate the existence of biochemical, molecular, immune, and microbiological abnormalities in large subsets of patients. According to the current view, luminal factors (e.g. derived from food, microbiota, and bile acids) permeate into the mucos...

The full-wave spectral domain approach is applied to investigate a partially open slotline integrated on multi-dielectric layers containing a femte substrate. When frequency decreases from high frequency to low frequency, the bounded modes start to leak in the form of improper forward leaky waves. Then one of the improper forward leaky waves becomes proper backward leaky wave as frequency decre...
