Most patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are managed in primary care. When first-line therapies for IBS ineffective, the UK National Institute Health and Care Excellence guideline suggests considering low- dose tricyclic antidepressants as second-line treatment, but their effectiveness care is unknown, they infrequently prescribed this setting.

Background Irritable bowel syndrome, characterised by abdominal pain and a change in stool form or frequency, is most often managed primary care. When first-line therapies are ineffective, National Institute for Health Care Excellence guidelines suggest considering low-dose tricyclic antidepressants as second-line treatment, but their effectiveness care unknown they infrequently prescribed general practitioners.

Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can cause troublesome symptoms impacting patients’ quality of life and incur considerable health service resource use. Guidelines suggest low-dose amitriptyline for IBS as second line treatment, but this is rarely prescribed in primary care. Aim: To explore general practitioners’ (GPs) views experiences using IBS. Design Setting: Qualitative interview study with patients GPs England, nested within the ATLANTIS trial versus placebo ( ISRCTN48075063...

Materials used to replace peat in growing media include wood fibre (WF), often combination with composted bark (BC), coir (CR), green compost (GC), and anaerobic digestate (AD). The physical chemical properties of these materials are relatively well characterised; however, biological less understood. Biological stability is an important factor plant performance. aim this research was identify whether dynamic respirometry methods suitable for measuring assess the effect blending two raw a...
