Journal ArticleDOI
The immune system in children with malnutrition--a systematic review.
Maren Johanne Heilskov Rytter,Lilian Kolte,André Briend,Henrik Friis,Vibeke Brix Christensen +4 more
TL;DR: The Immunological alterations associated with malnutrition in children may contribute to increased mortality, however, the underlying mechanisms are still inadequately understood, as well as why different types of malnutrition are associated with different immunological alterations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental enteropathy: critical implications of a poorly understood condition
Poonum S. Korpe,William A. Petri +1 more
TL;DR: The failure of nutritional interventions and oral vaccines in the developing world may be attributed to environmental enteropathy, as the intestinal absorptive and immunologic functions are significantly deranged.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lactase Deficiency: An Example of Dietary Evolution
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that prior to the domestication of animals and the development of dairying, the normal condition for all men was adult lactase deficiency, but that with the introduction of lactose into the adult diet in certain cultures, new selective pressures were created that favored the genotype for adult lact enzyme production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Familial enteropathy: A syndrome of protracted diarrhea from birth, failure to thrive, and hypoplastic villus atrophy
TL;DR: 5 infants with persistent severe diarrhea from birth and marked abnormalities of absorption associated with failure to thrive leading to death in 4 infants evidently suffered from a congenital enteropathy which caused profound defects in their capacity to assimilate nutrients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preventing environmental enteric dysfunction through improved water, sanitation and hygiene: an opportunity for stunting reduction in developing countries.
TL;DR: It is suggested that a package of baby‐WASH interventions that interrupt specific pathways through which feco‐oral transmission occurs in the first two years of a child's life may be central to global stunting reduction efforts.

Journal ArticleDOI
Method for assay of intestinal disaccharidases.
TL;DR: A unit for disaccharidase activity is defined that is in accord with recommendations made by the Joint Sub-Commission on Clinical Enzyme Units of the International Unions of Biochemistry and of Pure and Applied Chemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mucosa of the small intestine.
TL;DR: Observations that abnormalities of the intestinal mucosa might be present in patients suffering from intestinal malabsorption syndrome contradicted Thaysen's view that any changes found in the intestine mucosa in tropical sprue or idiopathic steatorrhcea were due only to postmortem autolysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies of celiac sprue. iv. the response of the whole length of the small bowel to a gluten-free diet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acquired milk intolerance in the adult caused by lactose malabsorption due to a selective deficiency of intestinal lactase activity.
Urs Peter Haemmerli,Hansjörg Kistler,Rudolf Ammann,Thomas Marthaler,Giorgio Semenza,Salvatore Auricchio,Andrea Prader +6 more
TL;DR: At present it appears best to separate the puzzling syndrome described by Durand from that of “benign” lactose intolerance described by Holzel and to regard Durand’s syndrome as a seperate entity rather than a more severe form of Holzel's entity.
