Abstract
Fecal bile salt excretion was studied in healthy volunteers, patients with regional ileitis, and patients with ileal resection. 10 μc of carboxyl-14C-cholic acid was given orally. Stools and urine were collected daily for 5-10 days, the bile salts extracted, and the radioactivity assayed. Urinary excretion was negligible. All patients with ileal resection excreted bile salts in the feces significantly faster than controls, and five of the six excreted 50% of the radioactivity within 24 hr. Their mean intestinal transit time was 5.6 hr compared to 26 hr for the controls. Two of the three patients with regional ileitis excreted bile salts almost as rapidly as patients with ileal resection. Vitamin B12 absorption was also defective in those patients, but the intestinal transit time was not decreased.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
