Adhering to a higher number of healthy lifestyle behaviors, such as not smoking, staying physically active and getting optimal sleep, was significantly associated with lower incidence of irritable bowel syndrome, according to data in Gut. “Finding a primary prevention strategy for IBS is essential for reducing its disease burden,” Fai Fai Ho, of the School of Chinese Medicine at The

Mashup Score: 10Novel Symptom Subgroups in Individuals With Irritable Bowel Syndrome Predict Disease Impact and Burden - 2 month(s) ago
Current classification systems based on bowel habit fail to capture the multidimensional nature of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). We previously derived and validated a classification system, using latent class analysis, incorporating factors beyond bowel habit. We applied this in another cohort of people with IBS to assess its ability to capture the impact of IBS on the individual, the health care system, and society.

There is increasing evidence that the pathophysiology of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), once considered a functional gastrointestinal disorder and now reframed as a disorder of gut–brain interaction,1 has an organic basis. Some patients with IBS exhibit evidence of low-grade mucosal inflammation.2 One of the most well-replicated observations over the last 20 years has been reports of mast cell activation in IBS, with degranulation and a resulting increase in mucosal tryptase and histamine,3 as well as increased proximity of mast cells to visceral nerves, which correlate with abdominal pain severity and frequency. Colonic biopsy supernatants from patients with IBS are able to excite rat nociceptive visceral sensory nerves in vitro.4 The cause of mast cell activation in this group of patients is unknown. However, evidence suggests this could relate to a break in oral tolerance to a dietary antigen, following either an acute enteric infection or a psychological stressor. In a mouse model

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common, debilitating disorder characterized by abdominal pain and disordered bowel habits. Current pharmacologic treatments often provide incomplete symptom relief and may be poorly tolerated. Furthermore, alleviation of gastrointestinal symptoms does not always translate into improved quality of life for IBS patients. Current treatment guidelines recommend brain–gut behavior therapy (BGBT) in conjunction with other IBS therapies, and, in randomized controlled trials, BGBT has been shown to improve symptoms, patient satisfaction, functioning, and quality of life.

Mashup Score: 9Blue Notes - 4 month(s) ago
Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection is highly prevalent worldwide, and positivity rates depend strongly on the population under study. However, there are few contemporary data describing HP epidemiology in the racially and ethnically diverse population of the United States. This retrospective study included over 900,000 individuals that had undergone HP testing between 1998 and 2018 in the Veterans Health Administration system. HP testing included serology, fecal H. pylori antigen or urea breath test, rapid urease test, CLO test, and histology evaluation, and the approach was validated against medical records.

Mashup Score: 7A Diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome Using Rome IV Criteria and Limited Investigations is Durable in Secondary Care - 4 month(s) ago
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a positive diagnosis, made using symptom-based criteria and limited, judicious, investigation. However, this may lead to uncertainty on the part of clinicians regarding potential for a missed diagnosis of organic gastrointestinal disease. Few studies have examined durability of a diagnosis of IBS, and none have used the current gold standard to diagnose IBS, the Rome IV criteria.

Research suggests that about 12% of people in the U.S. have irritable bowel syndrome, and it's more common among women than men and in people younger than 50. Learn about the symptoms and risk factors for #IBS: https://t.co/JxnSNkgA9X
