Background/Objectives: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a gut-brain disorder characterized by abdominal pain, altered habits, and psychological distress. While brain-gut interactions are recognized in IBS pathophysiology, the relationship between brain morphometry, cognitive function, clinical features remains poorly understood. The study aims to conduct following: (i) replicate previous univariate morphometric findings patients software comparisons; (ii) investigate whether multivariate...
Dyspeptic symptoms are common in patients with functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, and may be related to visceral hypersensitivity. We aim explore the relation between hypersensitivity by using an ultrasonographic meal test questionnaires irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and/or dyspepsia (FD).Patients (FD, n = 94; IBS, 88; IBS + FD, 66, healthy controls [HC], 30) were recruited consecutively examined ultrasound of proximal distal stomach after drinking 500 mL a low caloric meat soup,...
Abstract Background Gastroparesis is a severe diabetes complication characterized by delayed gastric emptying. We examined patients with symptoms of diabetic gastroparesis using emptying scintigraphy and ultrasound drink test. The primary aim was to investigate how could provide information about motility features in gastroparesis. Material methods prospectively included 58 (48 type 1) 30 healthy controls. Patients were the stomach seated position after drinking 500 ml low‐caloric meat soup,...
Abstract Background A low FODMAP diet (LFD) is an established dietary treatment for patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). However, knowledge on the extended effects of restriction phase regarding nutrient intake, symptom severity, and quality life (QoL) sparse. Therefore, our objectives were to evaluate safety a dietitian‐led 12‐week strict LFD measures blood biochemistry, nutritional status, QoL. Methods In this open‐label intervention IBS predominantly diarrhea or mixed stool...
The relationship between gut microbiota and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) subtype is unclear. We aimed to explore whether differences in fecal bacteria composition short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) levels were associated with subtypes symptoms of IBS.
Abstract Purpose Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a diagnosis defined by gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms like abdominal pain and changes associated with defecation. The condition classified as disorder of the gut-brain interaction (DGBI), patients IBS commonly experience psychological distress. present study focuses on this distress, from reports fatigue, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, performance cognitive tests. aim was to investigate joint contribution these features distress in...
Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms appear frequently in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN), but the associations between psychopathological, GI, and eating disorder (ED) remain unclear. This study aimed to determine relationships of GI complaints psychopathological measures, ED symptoms, body mass index (BMI) AN.Thirty outpatients AN aged >16 years were included. Psychopathological measures (Symptom Checklist-90-Revised, Beck Depression Inventory-II, Anxiety Inventory), (Eating Disorder...
Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is characterized as a disorder of the gut-brain interaction (DGBI). Here, we explored presence problems related to executive function (EF) in patients with IBS and tested relative importance cognitive features involved EF. Methods: A total 44 22 healthy controls (HCs) completed Behavior Rating Inventory Executive Function (BRIEF-A), used identify nine EF features. The PyCaret 3.0 machine-learning library Python was explore data, generate robust...
The Ultrasound Meal Accommodation Test (UMAT) is a clinical test used to assess gastric accommodation, emptying, and visceral sensitivity. It has been as tool at Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen for more than 20 years.Five-hundred nine patients were retrospectively evaluated, 71% females, 51% referred from other hospitals or specialists. aim was explore the usefulness of UMAT in with suspected functional GI disorders (FGID).One hundred sixty diagnosed dyspepsia (FD), 154 irritable bowel...
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common clinical label for medically unexplained gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, recently described as disturbance of the brain-gut-microbiota (BGM) axis. To gain better understanding mechanisms underlying poorly understood etiology IBS, we have designed multifaceted study that aim to stratify complex interaction and dysfunction between brain, gut, microbiota in patients with IBS.Deep phenotyping data from IBS (n = 100) healthy age- (between 18 65)...
Background Gastrointestinal symptoms are common in ME/CFS, but there is a knowledge gap the literature concerning gastrointestinal motility features and detailed symptom description.
In the following review we outline how ultrasound can be used to measure physiological processes in gastrointestinal tract.We have investigated potential of assessing physiology including original research regarding both basic methodology and clinical applications.Our main findings show use study esophageal motility, volume contractility stomach, assess wall thickness, perfusion small bowel, evaluate vascularization diameters large bowel.Ultrasound is a widely accessible technology that for...
Objective: Gastric emptying measurements are mandatory in gastroparesis diagnostics, but the association between delayed and symptoms is questionable. It imperative to find biomarkers better correlated symptom generation. Hence, we examined severity gastrointestinal motility measured by wireless capsule. Patients Methods: In this prospective single-centre study, patients with were simultaneously investigated gastric scintigraphy capsule, measuring regional transit times contractility...
Abstract Background Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) has a high worldwide prevalence and there are few effective treatment options. Patient education can influence patient behavior that subsequently may lead to changes in attitudes skills necessary for maintenance or improvement management of symptom severity quality life. However, as postdiagnostic be resource demanding, assessment digital approaches verification their effectiveness is warranted. Objective This cohort study aimed investigate...

Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by recurrent abdominal pain associated with alterations in stool form and/or frequency. Co-morbidities such as anxiety, depression, fatigue, and insomnia are frequently reported patients suffering from IBS. Identification of these symptoms should thus be an integral part IBS assessment. However, optimal tool to screen for core psychological still missing. Here, we aim develop symptom...
