    Journal:  Performance, nutrient digestibilities, and metabolic profiles of Holstein calves fed whole milk or milk replacer at two feeding levels. (Pubmed Central) -  Mar 3, 2025   
    From a single oral dose of indigestible markers (Cr-EDTA, lactulose, and d-mannitol), calves fed a high milk allowance showed greater urinary recovery of all markers after 6 h of collection, but not after 24 h. Calves fed a high milk allowance had a higher proportion of days with lower fecal scores during the preweaning phase...Higher milk allowance increased growth performance and had no adverse effects on starter feed intake or nutrient digestibility in the post-weaning phase. The multiple effects described for milk source and level of supply were overall independent, presenting no relevant interactions.

    Journal:  Drug Utilization of Rifaximin-? in Patients with Hepatic Encephalopathy: Evidence from Real Clinical Practice in Italy. (Pubmed Central) -  Feb 26, 2025   
    Although rifaximin 550 mg is the only formulation with specific indication and reimbursability to prevent HE relapses in Italy, rifaximin 200 mg is more largely used. The need to improve rifaximin prescribing choices is supported by higher persistence, lower switching rates, and average doses aligned to recommendations in patients treated with rifaximin 550 mg.

    Journal:  Exploring the protective effects of vasoactive intestinal peptides on dry eye disease in SARS-CoV-2 survivors. (Pubmed Central) -  Feb 17, 2025   
    Laxative use (lactulose and polyethylene glycol) correlated positively with dry eye disease (OR 1.939, p = 0.016; OR 2.094, p = 0.015, respectively)...Conversely, omeprazole showed an inverse correlation with dry eye disease (OR 0.332, p < 0.001)...Proton pump inhibitors may mitigate the risk of dry eye disease, contrasting with adverse effects linked to laxatives and metoclopramide. Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), which links gut and lacrimal gland functions, is a strong candidate for the basis of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms.

    Journal:  The administration route of indigestible gut permeability markers modulates urinary marker recovery in calves. (Pubmed Central) -  Jan 29, 2025   
    To evaluate gut permeability, indigestible markers (lactulose, d-mannitol, and chromium [Cr]-EDTA) were administered in 2 periods, on Tuesday and Thursday in the third week after arrival...This suggests that both ADM_R were equivalent in assessing the effects of dietary interventions on gut permeability. However, different ADM_R likely affected the trajectory and time spent by the markers in each segment of the gut.

    When the Lungs Breathe Trouble: Ureaplasma Infection Causing Hyperammonemia Syndrome, Followed by HSV Pneumonitis, After Bilateral Lung Transplant (Poster Hall) -  Jan 19, 2025 - Abstract #ISHLT2025ISHLT_461;    
    He underwent bilateral lung transplant with induction on basiliximab and methylprednisolone 1 week later, and started on maintenance immunosuppression with corticosteroids, mycophenolate, and tacrolimus...He was initiated on dialysis, lactulose, and rifaximin for HALT, and doxycycline and azithromycin for empiric mollicute coverage; his ammonia subsequently down trended with these interventions...Prophylactic famciclovir was transitioned to acyclovir for fourteen days, with valacyclovir thereafter as alternative viral prophylaxis...Empiric testing of serum ammonia for the week after lung transplant may trigger concern for mollicute infection, which historically carries high mortality after lung transplantation. Meanwhile, while airway wall erythema due to reperfusion injury may be observed soon after transplantation, new sudden onset erythema in subsequent weeks should provoke investigation for infectious causes, particularly HSV pneumonitis.

    Journal:  Gastrointestinal permeability and kidney injury risk during hyperthermia in young and older adults. (Pubmed Central) -  Jan 3, 2025   
    Gastrointestinal permeability was assessed using a multi-sugar drink test containing lactulose, sucrose and rhamnose...Furthermore, our data indicate that older adults might be more at risk for increases in gastroduodenal permeability, as evidenced by the larger increases in sucrose excretion in response to heat stress. Finally, our findings show that heat stress impairs kidney function and elevates markers of kidney injury; however, these responses are not modulated by age.
