	GI tract symptoms in diabetes
		GI tract symptoms are very common in individuals with diabetes, and many health care workers in clinical practice feel that it is the autonomic neurologic complications that contribute to this.
		The authors conclude that the prevalence of most GI tract symptoms in people with diabetes as evaluated in the community (and not in a hospital-type setting) is similar to that of age- and sex-matched controls except for the two above-mentioned conditions.
		This is not seen in the general, community-based diabetic population, Thus, the presence of GI tract symptoms in diabetes is usually not associated with autonomic symptoms.

	GI Joe
		G.I. Joe Extreme was another attempt to reposition Joe after the manner of many popular superhero action figure lines, but died after only two assortments.
		Created in 1963, G.I. Joe was inspired in part by a TV show called “The Lieutenant.” A licensing agent named Stan Weston brought the concept to Don Levine at Hasbro, with the idea of creating a poseable soldier for boys.
		Hasbro has kept G.I. Joe on the market nearly continuously since 1964, with the exception of a few years between the death of the classic “vintage” Joe in 1976 and the introduction of the new “Real American Hero” in 1982.

	Feeling Retro
		GI Joe was masculine, plus had his own Jeep, so Tuesday Taylor didn't have to borrow Barbie's corvette for dates, or worse, take the giant RV to the beach (the bathroom sink) or the drive-in (the tv).
		The Joe's were so heavy that the string snapped and the kite, trailing about 300 feet of cheap ass cotton twine and my two beloved GI Joe's soared off over the bay and vanished forever.
		I had a full foot locker and was a member of the GI Joe Club.

	Johnson Works to Expand Access to Montgomery GI Bill
		The Montgomery GI Bill was implemented a year later in 1985 and allowed individuals already enrolled in VEAP accounts to transfer their benefits to the new MGIB in 1996.
		The Montgomery GI bill currently excludes around 74,000 servicemen and women on active duty who, because they were on active duty before 1985 and did not participate in the Veterans' Educational Assistance Program, are not eligible for the MGIB.
		Johnson's bill will allow a one year open enrollment period for thousands of career military personal who are not allowed to sign up for education benefits under the MGIB.

	GI Bill
		Top Up is a really good deal because your total GI Bill education benefit is reduced only by the actual amount used to pay the difference between the total tuition cost and the amount paid for with Tuition Assistance.
		The buy-up program allows anyone who is participating in the Montgomery GI Bill program to contribute up to $600 (in increments as small as $20 per pay period) at any time before leaving active duty.
		Even if you don't plan to use your GI Bill education benefit right away, submit the applicable forms early so when you do want to file a claim to start withdrawing money from your account you won't have to wait more than a week or so.

	'The GI Bill Experience at NC State' Exhibition - NCSU Libraries, 2004
		In the all-volunteer military, the GI Bill has operated in a way similar to civilian retirement programs: service personnel contribute part of their pay, which is matched several times over by the government.
		Estimates are that some 450,000 engineers, 240,000 accountants, 238,000 teachers, and 91,000 scientists advanced their education under the first GI Bill, as did thousands of lawyers, doctors, dentists, journalists, members of the clergy, corporate executives, skilled crafts workers and technical specialists.
		From the perspective of six decades, the legacy of the GI Bill transcends specific issues of veterans benefits–encompassing two general principles about the relationship between citizens and government in a democratic society.

	Antibiotics alter GI tract microbes and increase lung sensitivity to allergens
		Huffnagle maintains that disruptions in the growth of bacteria and fungi in the GI tract somehow interfere with the ability of regulatory T cells to dampen the immune response to respiratory allergens.
		albicans is normally found in the GI tract, and increased growth of C. albicans in the gut is a common side-effect of antibiotics.
		In the absence of regulatory T cells from the GI tract, T cells in the lungs become sensitized to the presence of ordinary mold spores, pollen or other allergens.

		The good news is that malfunctioning GI tract can be brought back to health by improving digestion, cleansing and detoxification of the colon, providing proper amount of fiber, supporting the liver and restoring the balance of bacteria.
		Major components of GI tract are mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, pancreas and the liver.

	Impact of Dietary and Environmental Factors on Microbial Communities of the Avian GI Tract
		Dirty litter and other animal management parameters affect microbial composition of the chicken GI tract both directly by providing a continuous source of bacteria and indirectly by weakening the physical condition and defence of the birds.
		Furthermore, most of the bacteria in the GI tract of the broiler chicken seem to represent species different from any of those deposited in the public sequence databases.
		Bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract derive most of their energy for reproduction and growth from dietary compounds, which are either resistant to attack by digestive fluids or absorbed so slowly that bacteria can successfully compete for them.
