Does 3-0 methylglucose absorption in vivo correlate with nutrient absorption and intestinal surface area in experimental short bowel syndrome?
3-0 MG absorption is a useful marker of functional intestinal surface area and of the absorption of dietary fat and protein in experimental SBS. 3-0 MG may be a useful marker of nutrient absorptive capacity in patients with SBS; further study is indicated.
Premorbid behavioural disturbance and maladjustment may predict the later emergence of 'prodromal' symptoms. 'Prodromal' symptoms in young at-risk relatives may define a subgroup worthy of follow-up into the age of risk for psychosis in order to cost-effectively characterize the predictors of psychotic symptoms and SZ.
