Pathogenesis of Functional Bowel Disease
In their second year in medical school, students begin to learn about the differences between "disease" and "illness." In their studies of pathology they learn to understand disease as pertubations of molecular biological events. And we clinicians can show disease to them by our scans, lay it out even on our genetic scrolls, and sometimes even point out the errant nucleotide. Disease satisfies them and us; at Yale, lectures on the gastrointestinal tract run from achalasia to proctitis. There is, alas, little mention of functional bowel disease or of the irritable or spastic colon, for that is not easy to show on hard copy. Functional bowel disease represents "illness," the response of the person to distress, to food, to the environment, and to the existential problems of living. In real life such matters are most important. Richard Cabot first found out at the Massachusetts General Hospital almost a century ago that 50% of the patients attending the outpatient clinic had "functional" complaints. The figure had grown to over 80% when the very same question was reexamined 60 years later.
Wake Up and Change Your Ways
At breakfast in the morning, without thinking, we might pop a piece of bread, a donut or a pastry in our mouths, while catching up on the news on TV or social media. That ́s just how it is! But from that first moment in the kitchen, we should be asking ourselves, “What am I putting into my body?”; and later in the bath or shower, we should wonder “What am I putting on my skin?” The moment you ask these questions, you become aware. The questions raise more questions, and we find that one by one, the answers trigger events that will lead to a true awakening! After ten years of research, I want to share some revelations that could change your life - and perhaps the course of humanity - for the better.
Intestinal Lipid Metabolism
This book was stimulated by the enthusiasm shown by attendees at the meetings in Saxon River, VT, sponsored by the Federation ofAmerican Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), on the subject of the intestinal processing of lipids. When these meetings were first started in 1990, the original organizers, two of whom are editors ofthis volume (CMM and PT), had two major goals. The first was to bring together a diverse group ofinvestiga tors who had the common goal of gaining a better understanding of how the intestine ab sorbs lipids. The second was to stimulate the interest of younger individuals whom we wished to recruit into what we believed was an exciting and fruitful area ofresearch....
