Is epithelial permeability increased in rats following small bowel resection?
The early adaptive response of the remnant intestine after SBR is associated with reduced permeability. These results suggest an alternative mechanism for the increased bacterial translocation that has been described following SBR.
The SUV95, a biomarker of pretreatment pulmonary metabolic activity, was shown to be prognostic of symptomatic RP. Elevation in this pretreatment biomarker identifies patients at high risk for posttreatment symptomatic RP.
