“…But in general, many digestive system disorders occur in children. Gastrointestinal disease is the main contributor to deaths worldwide, causing one in ten child deaths [1]. Various digestive system disorders can be found in the community, such as the stomach, duodenum rectum, and the most straightforward problem, diarrheic and colon or significant intestine disorders [2].…”

This study aims to determine the effect of adding inulin to synbiotic beverage chemical and organoleptic properties. The study consisted of two stages, the first stage was the isolation of inulin from dahlia tubers and the second stage was the manufacture of synbiotic beverage. The design used in this study was a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with one factor, namely the concentration of dahlia tuber inulin added with a concentration level of 0 %, 1 %, 3 %, 5 %, and 7 %. One-factor research with two replications has ten experimental units with research variables: qualitative dahlia tuber inulin, synbiotic beverage water content, ash content, lipid content, protein content, fiber content, and organoleptic tests. The addition of inulin significantly affected the chemical variables of ash, lipid, protein, and fiber, and organoleptic variables of aroma, texture, colour, and taste. The best treatment results from this study were F0 treatment with the addition of 1 % inulin concentration resulting in 85 % water content, 0.14 % ash content, 3.58 % protein content, 0.32 % lipid content, and 1.76 % fiber content. The best treatment organoleptic results were 4.96 % aroma variables, 5.20 % texture, 4.96 % colour, and 4.60 % taste variables.

“…Hugar et al mention that limited studies are presented in the literature despite gastrointestinal diseases being an important cause of sudden natural death. Sudden GI death is an unexpected death due to digestive system causes usually found on autopsy [9]. There may be congenital or acquired causes of sudden GI deaths.…”

Introduction: Gastrointestinal disorders (GI) including hepatobiliary-pancreatic (HBP) diseases are a cause for significant morbidity and mortality. Mortality due to nonmalignant disorders are often diagnosed but are less studied. Limited autopsy-based studies have been conducted on gastrointestinal causes of death despite gastrointestinal and hepato-biliary-pancreatic diseases being one of the important causes for morbidity and mortality. Autopsy is still considered a valuable tool in reliably determining the underlying pathology and cause of death. This study of gastrointestinal causes of death was conducted to evaluate and understand its impact. Methods: This is a 5-year retrospective autopsy-based study for the period August 2016 to July 2021. Data was collected from autopsy request forms, patients’ hospital records and autopsy reports, which included age, gender, ethnicity, salient clinical features, key autopsy findings and the cause of death. Results: During the 5-year period, a total of 3435 autopsies were performed, out of which 294 cases were found to have gastrointestinal-hepato-biliarypancreatic (GIHBP) disorders as the cause of death, contributing to 8.6%. This accounts for the third leading cause of death. The main causes of death were gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) (26%), perforation of a viscus organ and peritonitis (23%), hepato-biliary-pancreatic disease (17%), ischemic bowel changes (13.6%), neoplastic disease (11.6%) and others. Majority of patients were males and of African ethnicity. Patients aged above 40 years accounted for 83% of the deaths. Abdominal pain was the most common presenting symptom. Three leading autopsy findings include gastrointestinal bleeding, ascites, perforation and peritonitis. Conclusion: GIHBP disorders are the third leading cause of death. GI bleeding, non-traumatic perforation and peritonitis are identified as significant mechanisms of death. Autopsy still plays an important role in reliably determining the cause of death. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management may decrease mortality. This study augments the limited body of literature and provides insight into gastrointestinal causes of death.
