We report the case of a 56-year-old male patient with history of tobacco use and a subacute presentation of weight loss, vomiting and cerebellar ataxia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Sepsis
[…] implications that include malnutrition secondary to reduced feed tolerance and absorption, reflux and aspiration resulting in reduced lung function and ventilator-associated pneumonia, bacterial overgrowth and possible translocation causing nosocomial sepsis [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pneumonia
[…] dysmotility is a common feature of critical illness, with a number of significant implications that include malnutrition secondary to reduced feed tolerance and absorption, reflux and aspiration resulting in reduced lung function and ventilator-associated pneumonia [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Jaundice
There was also a trend suggesting that more infants with prolonged feed intolerance developed cholestatic jaundice in the placebo than in the oral erythromycin group (10 v 5 infants). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
Our finding adds to the genetic heterogeneity of MNGIE-like gastrointestinal symptoms and highlights the importance of a thorough genetic workup in case of suspected mitochondrial disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
BACKGROUND: Sporadic cases of abdominal pain and dysmotility has been described after treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogs. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
It is rarely possible to alter disease trajectory; consequently, prognosis may be poor. Multi-disciplinary teams in a specialist setting can improve outcomes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
We reviewed explanted organs, histochemistry, and immunohistochemistry and classified cases by etiology. RESULTS: We selected 12 children with GID from 124 patients transplanted. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology
We evaluated published data on the pathophysiology and management of gastrointestinal dysmotility in systemic sclerosis patients using the MEDLINE database for English and non-English articles from 1966 to July 2005. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
