Mashup Score: 21Patient-Reported Outcomes in Disorders of Gut–Brain Interaction - 25 day(s) ago
Disorders of gut–brain interaction are characterized by chronic gastrointestinal symptoms in the absence of abnormal endoscopic or radiologic findings or objective biomarkers that can be identified during routine clinical evaluation. The assessment of the symptom pattern and severity, therefore, is the key modality to evaluate the presence, impact, and evolution of these conditions, for both clinical and regulatory purposes. Patient-reported outcomes are structured symptom assessment questionnaires designed to evaluate symptom patterns, quantify severity of symptoms, and evaluate response to treatment at follow-up.

Mashup Score: 16Prebiotic diet changes neural correlates of food decision-making in overweight adults: a randomised controlled within-subject cross-over trial - 7 month(s) ago
Objective Animal studies suggest that prebiotic, plant-derived nutrients could improve homoeostatic and hedonic brain functions through improvements in microbiome–gut–brain communication. However, little is known if these results are applicable to humans. Therefore, we tested the effects of high-dosed prebiotic fibre on reward-related food decision-making in a randomised controlled within-subject cross-over study and assayed potential microbial and metabolic markers. Design 59 overweight young adults (19 females, 18–42 years, body mass index 25–30 kg/m2) underwent functional task MRI before and after 14 days of supplementary intake of 30 g/day of inulin (prebiotics) and equicaloric placebo, respectively. Short chain fatty acids (SCFA), gastrointestinal hormones, glucose/lipid and inflammatory markers were assayed in fasting blood. Gut microbiota and SCFA were measured in stool. Results Compared with placebo, participants showed decreased brain activation towards high-caloric wanted foo

Mashup Score: 9
Objective Braak’s hypothesis states that Parkinson’s disease (PD) originates in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and similar associations have been established for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and cerebrovascular diseases (CVD). We aimed to determine the incidence of GI syndromes and interventions preceding PD compared with negative controls (NCs), AD and CVD. Design We performed a combined case-control and cohort study using TriNetX, a US based nationwide medical record network. Firstly, we compared subjects with new onset idiopathic PD with matched NCs and patients with contemporary diagnoses of AD and CVD, to investigate preceding GI syndromes, appendectomy and vagotomy. Secondly, we compared cohorts with these exposures to matched NCs for the development of PD, AD and CVD within 5 years. Results We identified 24 624 PD patients in the case-control analysis and matched 18 cohorts with each exposure to their NCs. Gastroparesis, dysphagia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) without diarrhoea
