<h3>Objective</h3> Enteric glial cells (EGC) have been suggested to participate in host–bacteria cross-talk, playing a protective role within the gut. The way EGC interact with microorganisms is still poorly understood. We aimed evaluate whether: interaction; S100B and Toll-like receptor (TLR) signalling converge common pathway leading nitric oxide (NO) production. <h3>Design</h3> Primary cultures of human were exposed pathogenic (enteroinvasive <i>Escherichia coli</i>; EIEC) probiotic...
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), including erosive and non-erosive (NERD), is a chronic with significant negative effect on quality of life. State-of-the-art treatment involves proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). However, relapse symptoms occurs in the majority patients who require recurrent or continuous therapy. Although PPIs are well tolerated, little information available about gastrointestinal side effects.To evaluate effects long-term PPI development bowel and/or small intestinal...
Oesophageal sensory stimuli alter neurocardiac function through autonomic reflexes.To evaluate in patients with idiopathic supraventricular cardiac dysrhythmias and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) whether GE alters the effect of acid suppression on symptoms.Thirty-two (13 females 19 males; age: 20-69 years) plus GERD, nine (five four 43-58 GERD only, underwent simultaneous 24-h pH-metry ECG monitoring. Power spectrum analysis heart rate variability (PSHRV) was obtained both its low...
Mental stress (MS) may alter gastric sensory-motor function. The aim of the study was to assess postprandial autonomic nervous system activity and hormones in response acute mental dyspeptic patients.A total 25 patients with distress syndrome (PDS; 11 mol L(-1), age 35.9 ± 9.3 years) 12 healthy controls (5 25.8 4.6 underwent electrogastrography (13) C-octanoate emptying using a 480 kcal solid meal. Heart rate variability (LF/HF ratio) corticotrophin-releasing factor, adrenocorticotropic...
Oesophageal acidification induces dyspeptic symptoms in healthy individuals. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between oesophageal acid exposure and patients with nonerosive reflux disease.A total of 68 dominant heartburn, negative upper gastrointestinal endoscopy concomitant participated study. The severity dyspepsia reflux-related was evaluated, 24-h gastro-oesophageal pH-monitoring performed all at baseline after 4 weeks therapy esomeprazole 40 mg.Oesophageal basal pathological...
Patients with constipation often report dyspeptic symptoms, but whether is associated specific symptoms and altered gastrointestinal (GI) motility, remains to be established. Our aim was study association GI motility parameters in patients functional dyspepsia.42 different severity of dyspepsia were enrolled. Scintigraphic gastric emptying, colonic transit time gallbladder contraction studied all subjects.No significant observed between individual dyspepsia. more severe did not have higher...
Abstract Background The use of percutaneous stellate ganglion block (SGB) in the management drug-refractory electrical storm (ES) has been increasingly reported last years. Few data are available on safety, duration, and dosage local anaesthetic used. Case summary A 66-year-old male patient with a history ischaemic cardiomyopathy an implantable cardioverter–defibrillator (ICD) presented to emergency room complaining several ventricular arrhythmias ICD shocks received 24 h. He was treated...
Introduction Circadian rhythms, defined as endogenous oscillations that regulate metabolism, physiology and behaviour, may be frequently disrupted in mood disorders, influencing their clinical presentation course (Srinivasan V. et al. World J Biol Psychiatry. 2006;7(3):138-151). Objectives To characterise circadian rhythm disruptions a population of patients with analysing differences subjects without clinically significant alterations Methods Patients selected for this cross-sectional study...
