2. 6. An insight towards food-related microbial sets through metabolic modelling and functional analysis

   Author : Simonas Marcisauskas; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; RAVEN; gut; systems biology; comparative genomics; Kluyveromyces marxianus; bile acids; genome-scale metabolic model; next-generation sequencing; transcriptomics; thermotolerance;

   Abstract : The dietary food digestion depends on the human gastrointestinal tract, where host cells and gut microbes mutually interact. This interplay may also mediate host metabolism, as shown by microbial-derived secondary bile acids, needed for receptor signalling. Microbes are also crucial in the production of fermented foods, such as wine and dairy. READ MORE

4. 7. Studies of ulcerative colitis with concomitant primary sclerosing cholangitis : Beyond the clinical phenotype

   Abstract : Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of chronically relapsing immune-related disorders, engaging the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms vary depending on inflammatory phenotype, but may include diarrhoea, bowel pain and weight loss. The two most common entities are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (UC). READ MORE

5. 8. Melatonin in the gastrointestinal tract

   Abstract : Melatonin is recognised as the pineal hormone regulating sleep and circadian rhythm. It has also been identified in peripheral tissues (mainly in animals) and thought to display a variety of actions, including anti-inflammatory properties, regulation of gastrointestinal (GI) functions, glucose homeostasis and beneficial effects in different tumour types.

6. 9. Factors of importance for work productivity in Irritable Bowel Syndrome

   Author : Åsa Frändemark; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Irritable bowel syndrome; Disorders of gut-brain interaction; Work productivity impairment; Fatigue; Work;

   Abstract : Disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI) are highly prevalent in the general population, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common DBGI. Having IBS, and many of the DGBI, can impact work life. However, this has not been fully explored. READ MORE

7. 10. Psychiatric aspects on acute abdominal pain

   Author : Erik Lexne; Ina Marteinsdottir; Lars Brudin; Per-Olof Nylander; Lars Tanum; Linnéuniversitetet; []

   Abstract : Introduction: Psychiatric comorbidity is estimated to occur in up to 40% of all patients with somatic disorders, and it can have an influence on patient morbidity and mortality. Approximately 20% of patients who seek care for abdominal pain receive the diagnosis nonspecific abdominal pain, and later develop chronic abdominal pain. READ MORE
