Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency on the intraluminal pH of the proximal small intestine.

TL;DR: Data indicate that patients with significant exocrine pancreatic disease have an acidic milieu in the upper small intestine both under fasting as well as under postprandial conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Folic acid malabsorption in atrophic gastritis. Possible compensation by bacterial folate synthesis.

TL;DR: Bacteria cultured from the aspirates of subjects with atrophic gastritis were able to synthesize folate in vitro when incubated in a folate-free medium, possibly due to increased bacterial synthesis of folate by bacteria in the small intestine.

Nutrition in the elderly : the Boston nutritional status survey

Journal ArticleDOI

Impaired acid neutralization in the duodenum in pancreatic insufficiency.

TL;DR: It is shown that patients with PI have significantly impaired ability to neutralize even small loads of acid in the duodenum, as compared to controls who virtually completely neutralized acid loads in the range of maximal gastric acid secretion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correlation of dark adaptation test results with serum vitamin A levels in diseased adults.

TL;DR: In individual patients with serum vitamin A levels less than 40 micrograms % one can be sure of vitamin A sufficiency only if a normal dark adaptation response is elicited.
