“…Eosinophilic gastritis associated with Meckel’s diverticulum has not been previously reported in children to the best of our knowledge. There have been previous reports of eosinophilic infiltration in Meckel’s diverticulum in adult patients in association with irbesartan intake and nematode infection [3,4]. But our patient had no associated conditions such as rhinitis, eczema, asthma or food intolerance except for gastric heterotopia with raised serum gastrin.…”

“…It appears that the results of the pooled analysis of observational studies by Singh et al were kept to create a positive effect of the HBOT therapy in IBD without analyzing the combined results of RCTs. Moreover, it is important to know that two of the three RCTs were stopped prematurely due to slow recruitment which tells the practical difficulties and patient reluctance for its use [3,4]. These premature terminations of the trials further…”

“…The data on the use of HBOT in IBD is limited and in the event of limited numbers of trials, meta-analysis gives a wise idea on its usefulness. Singh et al in their search found three randomized controlled trials done for HBOT in ulcerative colitis [2][3][4]. Though the authors calculated the pooled response to HBOT therapy for ulcerative colitis, they failed to do the meta-analysis of the available randomized controlled trials.…”

“…Second, acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) has been recognized as a critical entity distinct from acute decompensation of cirrhosis [4] and has been associated with a higher incidence of AKI and impaired response to specific pharmacological treatment for HRS-AKI [5]. As patients with ACLF have significantly higher short-term mortality than non-ACLF, the orchestration of ACLF and AKI in the prognostication of patients with decompensation cirrhosis should be carefully analyzed.…”

The Role of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in the Life Cycle of Toxocara spp.

et al. 2021

The present study aimed to experimentally assess Nile tilapia as potential paratenic host of Toxocara spp. A total of 15 Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) were fed with 300 embryonated Toxocara canis eggs by oral gavage, while five others of the control group received distilled water. The fish were individually analyzed at 16, 24, 48, 72, and 240 h after inoculation. Water contamination was assessed, and tissue migration by liver, gastrointestinal tract (GIT), eyes, and central nervous system. A murine model was used as the paratenic host for egg infectivity assessment. Eggs and larvae were found in plastic tank water and fish GIT, ranging from 23 to 86% per fish. Eggs and larvae were recovered from the tank water (76.3%) and fish GIT (23.7%). The counting of eggs and larvae observed was negatively correlated with number of eggs and larvae in the water tank (rho = −0.698, p = 0.003). Shedding of embryonated eggs was first detected at 16 and up to 240 h, with significant egg and larvae yield decrease on water-shedding (p = 0.001) and in the GIT (p = 0.007). Although no T. canis larva was recovered in fish tissues, egg infectivity after fish GIT transit was experimentally confirmed by mice assessment. In conclusion, despite shedding viable embryonated eggs through the gastrointestinal tract, tilapias may not play a role as a suitable paratenic hosts for Toxocara spp., posing low risk of zoonotic transmission by fish meat consumption.
