Cadmium (Cad) is a worldwide heavy metal pollutant associated with global health challenges. Alteration of the intestinal microbiome, due to chemicals' exposure, plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal diseases such as pancreatic disorders. Hence, modulation of the gut microbiota might be a targeted approach to manage pancreatic diseases.

Objective: Approximately 30% of the 700 000 US Gulf War Veterans (GWVs) report symptoms collectively termed Gulf War Illness (GWI), a multisymptom illness of uncertain pathophysiology. Prior studies in GWI focus on overlap with irritable bowel syndrome. This study examines the associations between upper gastrointestinal (UGI) symptoms, GWI and specialty GI care.

Unlabelled: Cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) impairs sensorimotor and autonomic functions. We investigated the effects of lumbosacral transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) on urinary bladder, bowel, and sexual function as well as cardiovascular and sensorimotor functions in one individual with chronic clinically motor-complete cervical SCI, 11 years post-injury. Following 30 sessions of lumbosacral tSCS, the individual presented with improved urinary bladder compliance as well as anorectal function in parallel with mitigation of the severity of autonomic dysreflexia during filling cystometry and anorectal manometry.

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a long-lasting, nonspecific inflammatory bowel disease involving continuous, diffuse intestinal mucosal injury. The pathogenesis of UC involves genetic polymorphism, oxidative stress, immune response, and microbial infection. Ferroptosis participates in UC progression as a novel non-apoptotic cell death, and its specific mechanism in UC progression deserves further investigation.

Background: Pulmonary manifestations occur in a wide range of multisystemic diseases and can affect the lung parenchyma, airways, vascular system, and respiratory musculature in various ways. In particular, severe and potentially life-threatening pulmonary complications are of major concern in systemic conditions such as immunological and hematological disorders. The increasing incidence of hematological, gastrointestinal, and hepatological diseases in recent years-driven in part by lifestyle factors in Western industrialized nations-highlights the growing clinical relevance of these entities and the need for a comprehensive understanding of their pulmonary manifestations.
