OBJECTIVES To assess the effect of acute changes in serotonin (5-HT) synthesis using tryptophan depletion (ATD) paradigm on gastrointestinal (GI) and mood symptoms irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). METHODS In a randomized double-blind crossover study, 29 subjects (18 patients with ROME II defined IBS 11 age-matched controls) were studied under ATD increase (ATI) conditions.

Pulmonary colonization by Burkholderia cepacia in cystic fibrosis (CF) may be associated with enhanced deterioration of pulmonary function. This due to a more florid host inflammatory response than Pseudomonas aeruginosa, leading greater lung injury. Circulating markers inflammation were determined during infective exacerbations and periods clinical stability an 18 month prospective study adults CF colonized P. aeruginosa (n=41). B. (n=13) who intermittently grew (n=6). There no differences...
