Malignant Gastrointestinal Neuroectodermal Tumor (GNET), also called clear cell sarcoma-like tumor of the gastrointestinal tract, is a rare, aggressive mesenchymal neoplasm with distinctive morphology, immunoprofile, and EWSR1 rearrangements. Its diagnosis is challenging due to overlap with other neoplasms.

Impact of a synbiotic formulation on intestinal symptoms and quality of life in patients with irritable bowel syndrome

In a real-world setting, this study assessed the efficacy of a nutraceutical containing microencapsulated probiotics (Lactobacillus plantarum LP01, Bifidobacterium breve BR03), fructooligosaccharides, tryptophan, vitamins B3 and B6 in reducing symptoms and improving quality of life in patients suffering from any of the four irritable bowel syndrome subtypes. In this study, 121 patients received
