jejunum slightly more globose/slightly increased jejunal globosity
Explanation:
This ligeira should be written as an adverb, ligeriamente.

Not pretty sure about globose for globoso, but the meaning is this.

Or you could use slightly increased jejunal globosity.

neutral  T o b i a s: Re: link: Apparently, the web page translator thought ‘dura’ (adj.) might as well be translated as ‘lasts’ (vb. ‘last’, 3rd person singular).

  -> lasts here is a noun and not a verb, T o b i a s. Pls do your homework. Lasts are things that come last, such as... when the belly is bloated. Sean is from the UK so Im sure he knows that.
