Do pets at birth increase allergic disease in at-risk children?
Pets at birth either decreased or had no effect on allergic disease up to age 12. We found no evidence that exposure to cats or dogs at birth increases the risk of allergic disease in high-risk children.
Ghrelin and PP fall transiently after surgery, possibly due to vagal dysfunction, and ultimately, as weight loss ensues, ghrelin secretion increases to higher than preoperative levels. The RYBGP procedure affects the gastric mucosa, as reflected by a transient increase in circulating PGI, and subsequently, the mucosa in the excluded stomach is at rest, as shown by low levels of PGI and gastrin.
