Review
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease characterized by noncaseating granulomas in the affected organs, including skin, heart, nervous system, and joints. Diagnosis of sarcoidosis is generally based upon a compatible history, demonstration of granulomas in at least two different organs, negative staining and culture for acid fast bacilli, absence of occupational or domestic exposure to toxins, and lack of drug-induced disease. Involvement of the hollow organs is rare. Rather than being due to sarcoidosis, some reported mucosal lesions may simply have incidental granulomas. Extrinsic compression from lymphadenopathy can occur throughout the gastrointestinal tract. The stomach, particularly the antrum, is the most common extrahepatic organ to be involved, while the small bowel is the least common. Liver involvement frequently occurs and ranges from asymptomatic incidental granulomas to portal hypertension from granulomas in the portal triad, usually with relatively preserved liver function. CT scans show hepatosplenomegaly and adenopathy, followed in frequency by focal low-attenuation lesions of the liver and spleen. Ascites is usually a transudate from right heart failure (because of pulmonary hypertension) or portal hypertension (because of biliary cirrhosis). Rarely, an exudative ascites may occur from studding of the peritoneum with nodules. Pancreatic involvement presents as a mass, usually in the head or a diffusely firm, nodular organ. Corticosteroids should be instituted when organ function is threatened, usually lungs, eyes, and central nervous system. Their role in the treatment of hepatic sarcoidosis is unclear. The overall prognosis is good although most patients will have some permanent organ impairment. Cardiac and pulmonary diseases are the main causes of death.

Review
Numerous digestive tract diseases in pet rabbits and guinea pigs result from both an inherent physiological predisposition and from poor feeding and husbandry. A large proportion of digestive disturbances in rabbits and guinea pigs are secondary to changes in the oral cavity caused by inadequate teeth wear. The required regular trimming of the cheek teeth using a modified spatula and hollow pair of pincers is described and illustrated. The symptoms, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of a selection of digestive disorders, as commonly encountered in small animal practice, are presented. The difficulties of using antibiotics in view of the gram positive intestinal flora and possible dysbacteria, dysentery and enterotoxaemia are considered. Finally, advice on feeding and on the rearing of orphan neonates is given.

Review
Between 1966 and 2000 the pattern of gastroenterological disease in children in developed communities changed. Clinically severe infective gastroenteritis has declined in incidence. Infection of children with the conventional serotypes of Escherichia coli dramatically declined. During this period many new infective agents notably rota virus were recognised. By contrast, more children with chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), especially Crohn's disease, have been diagnosed than ever before. Gastrointestinal allergy is increasingly recognised but the pattern of disease has changed. Technological advance in accurate diagnosis occurred with an emphasis upon tissue diagnosis. Introduction to clinical practice of ileocolonoscopy in the late 1970s immensely increased the ability to make the diagnosis of chronic IBD in children. Therapeutic advance has seen development of parenteral nutrition and enteral feeding as major therapies for children. In the UK there has been a rise and fall in university departments of paediatric gastroenterology.

Review
Congenital epidermolysis bullosa is an inherited disorder characterized by an anomaly of joint structures between epidermis and dermis. This anomaly involves different malpighian epithelium and particularly in the digestive chorioepithelial junction. Digestive and oropharyngeal manifestations include bullae, erosions and ulcerations that heal by fibrosis, leading to retraction and stenosis. We report two cases of esophageal stenosis, the first one in a young patient with a congenital epidermolysis bullosa of Hallopeau-Siemens and the second one, in a young woman with a Pasini variant. In the first case, the esophageal stenosis was treated by careful dilation. In the second case, the endoscopy induced hemorragic bullae and septicemia, which were treated with antibiotics and total parenteral nutrition.

Review
In the more than 40 years since the combined oral contraceptive pill was first marketed, much information has been obtained as to its risks. Considerably less publicity has been given to the balancing benefits that have also emerged. There has been an increasing realization that the risks are focused in those women with recognised risk factors, meaning that the remainder can use the product with increasing reassurance. The doses of both hormones have also been lowered considerably since the early years. Thus, it can be a rational decision by a fully informed woman to use this form of contraception.
