Intestinal Adaptation: Structural, Functional and Cytokinetic Changes (First of Two Parts)

Williamson, Robin C. N.·1978·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

THE mucosal lining of the intestinal tract is in a constant state of renewal. Enteric* epithelium has the fastest rate of turnover† for any tissue in the body, exceeded only by a few rapidly growing malignant tumors.1 Nonetheless, proliferation of epithelial cells may be further accelerated by a number of stimuli, notably partial intestinal resection. Survival of animals and man is possible after the loss of most of the small bowel, and postoperative diarrhea and malabsorption tend to improve with time. Clearly, the gut, like the liver and kidney, has both a functional reserve and a . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
