The gastrointestinal metastases (GIM) of breast carcinoma (BC) are a rare clinical finding, even more rarely diagnosed as initial symptoms at unknown BC. We present a 50-year-old woman with metastases in the terminal ileum combined with multiple bone metastases from an unknown invasive carcinoma of left mammary gland. Gastrointestinal metastases are rarely observed in invasive lobular breast carcinoma.

2 cases of patients with remarkable survival time in stage IV rectal cancer are presented. Histopathological data attributable to malignant tissues may deliver possible reasons for the favorable course. Arguments to acknowledge the value of the modulation of the intra- and peritumoral microenvironment in the treatment of metastatic dieases are presented.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic condition well defined in the last 15 years. Its management increasingly involves different clinicians such as gastroenterologists and dentists, because of dental erosions attributable to extraesophageal symptoms. This review provides a summary of the oral consequences of GERD, despite the fact that dental erosion can occur every time an acid attacks enamel surfaces, even more so the right diagnosis is crucial and the cooperation between clinicians is advisable.

The peritoneum is a membrane consisting of one layer of mesothelic cells which is separated from the vascular connective tissue underneath by the basement membrane. It forms a closed pouch where the visera can move freely inside. The peritoneum includes the abdominal cavity as the parietal peritoneum and bends to the organs as the visceral peritoneum.

The primary reflex involved with belching is associated with the activation of neurons in the area postrema (AP), therefore, we investigated the role of the AP in the activation of belching. The effects of mechanical lesions of the dorsal brainstem on activation of belching, esophago-UES contractile reflex (EUCR), and the pharyngeal swallow (PS) were determined in 13 decerebrate cats.
