Investigators have shed new light on the complex relationship between the gut microbiota, inflammatory factors, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). A recent study, published in the journal Neurogastroenterology & Motility, identified a potential causal association between the gut microbiota and IBS. The research suggests that manipulating the gut microbiota may
Gastrointestinal diseases
New research results on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have been published, shedding light on the role of the gut microbiota in modulating the Th17/Treg cell balance. According to the study, IBD is a group of conditions characterized by chronic and recurrent intestinal inflammation, primarily including Crohn's disease
Gastrointestinal diseases
Research has long focused on the bacterial composition of the microbiome in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but a new study highlights the importance of the fungal part of the microbiome, the mycobiome. The study, conducted by researchers at Odense University Hospital in Denmark, found that the mycobiome is altered in
Medical research
Researchers from the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University in Guiyang, People's Republic of China, have issued a warning about the growing burden of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in East Asia, citing rapid socioeconomic development, lifestyle changes, and dietary patterns as contributing factors. According to the study, which
Colorectal cancer
Research conducted by Zhen-Guo Wu and colleagues at Shandong University has established a causal link between gut microbiota and colorectal cancer (CRC), with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) serving as a key mediator. The study utilized Mendelian randomization, machine learning, and transcriptomics to identify specific gut microbial taxa associated with CRC
Colorectal cancer
A prospective cohort study of 129 colorectal cancer patients receiving oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy revealed that the cumulative dose of oxaliplatin plays a significant role in the development of oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (OIPN). The research found that the occurrence of OIPN is associated with the progression of the disease, tumor markers, immune
Colorectal cancer
A new study published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology has found that patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) undergoing colorectal cancer surgery are at an elevated risk of postoperative mortality, particularly due to venous thromboembolism (VTE). The research, conducted by a team of researchers at Aarhus University Hospital, used

Research has shown that traditional Chinese medicine, particularly acupuncture, can provide effective relief for individuals suffering from functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs). A recent study from the Hebei University of Chinese Medicine aimed to identify the most commonly used acupoints and meridians in acupuncture treatment for FGIDs. By analyzing data from
Gastrointestinal diseases
Researchers at Universidad de Leon have made significant findings on the relationship between Brachyspira hyodysenteriae infections and changes in the gut microbiota. According to their study, published in Animal Microbiome, the severity of the infection is directly correlated with changes in the microbiota composition and its associated functionality in the
