Visual obstacle avoidance using genetic programming: first results

Abstract

A case of acquired jejuno-ileal malabsorption complicated by vitamin B12 malabsorption with macrocytic anemia and posterior column dysfunction is reported. Few such observations have been published in the medical literature. In the light of published studies and case-reports the authors review the pathogenic hypotheses concerning the formation of diverticula, the part played by bacterial infection in the mechanisms of malabsorption and the value of antibiotic therapy in the initial treatment of this condition.
