Examining the Association between #Coffee Intake and the Risk of Developing #Irritable #Bowel Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a highly prevalent disorder of brain­gut interaction with a significant impact on quality of life. Coffee is a widely consumed beverage with numerous bioactive compounds that have potential effects on human health and disease states. Current studies on the effect of regular coffee consumption on the risk of developing… Continue reading Examining the Association between #Coffee Intake and the Risk of Developing #Irritable #Bowel Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Vitamin #B12 is a limiting factor for induced cellular plasticity and #tissue repair

Transient reprogramming by the expression of OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and MYC (OSKM) is a therapeutic strategy for tissue regeneration and rejuvenation, but little is known about its metabolic requirements. Here we show that OSKM reprogramming in mice causes a global depletion of vitamin B12 and molecular hallmarks of methionine starvation. Supplementation with vitamin B12 increases the efficiency… Continue reading Vitamin #B12 is a limiting factor for induced cellular plasticity and #tissue repair

#Proton pump inhibitors and #dementia: A nationwide population-based study

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may increase dementia risk. However, it is currently unknown whether timing of exposure or age at dementia diagnosis influence the risk.METHODSWe assessed associations between cumulative PPI use and dementia at different ages in a nationwide Danish cohort of 1,983,785 individuals aged 60 to 75 years between 2000 and 2018.RESULTSDuring follow-up, there… Continue reading #Proton pump inhibitors and #dementia: A nationwide population-based study

#Prebiotic #diet changes neural correlates of #food decision-making in #overweight adults: a randomised controlled within-subject cross-over trial 

Objective Animal studies suggest that prebiotic, plant-derived nutrients could improve homoeostatic and hedonic brain functions through improvements in microbiome–gut–brain communication. However, little is known if these results are applicable to humans. Therefore, we tested the effects of high-dosed prebiotic fibre on reward-related food decision-making in a randomised controlled within-subject cross-over study and assayed potential microbial and… Continue reading #Prebiotic #diet changes neural correlates of #food decision-making in #overweight adults: a randomised controlled within-subject cross-over trial 

A two-cohort study on the association between the gut #microbiota and #bone density, microarchitecture, and strength

The gut microbiome affects the inflammatory environment through effects on T-cells, which influence the production of immune mediators and inflammatory cytokines that stimulate osteoclastogenesis and bone loss in mice. However, there are few large human studies of the gut microbiome and skeletal health. We investigated the association between the human gut microbiome and high resolution… Continue reading A two-cohort study on the association between the gut #microbiota and #bone density, microarchitecture, and strength

Detection of high-risk #polyps at screening colonoscopy indicates risk for #liver and #biliary #cancer death

Hepatobiliary cancers share risk factors with colorectal cancer (CRC), but there are no combined screening programs for these conditions.AimsThe aim of this study was to assess whether patients with high-risk colonic polyps are more likely to die from liver related tumors than patients with a negative colonoscopy.MethodsIn this retrospective analysis of mortality data, Austrian screening… Continue reading Detection of high-risk #polyps at screening colonoscopy indicates risk for #liver and #biliary #cancer death

Assessment of Gastroesophageal #Reflux Symptoms and #Sleep Quality Among Women in the Nurses’ Health Study II

Limited data exist on the association of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) symptoms with sleep quality.Objective  To prospectively investigate the association between GER symptoms and sleep quality.Design, Setting, and Participants  This prospective cohort study included data from the Nurses’ Health Study II of female nurses in the US. Participants self-reported the frequency and duration of GER symptoms beginning June… Continue reading Assessment of Gastroesophageal #Reflux Symptoms and #Sleep Quality Among Women in the Nurses’ Health Study II

Risk of #Inflammatory #Bowel Disease in Patients With #Atopic Dermatitis

Data on the association between atopic dermatitis (AD) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are inconsistent. Few studies have examined the association of AD or AD severity with risk of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn disease (CD) separately.Objectives  To examine the risk of new-onset IBD, UC, and CD in children and adults with AD. Design, Setting, and… Continue reading Risk of #Inflammatory #Bowel Disease in Patients With #Atopic Dermatitis

Association of nonalcoholic fatty #liver disease with #colorectal adenomatous #polyps and non-adenomatous polyps: a cross-sectional study

Aim This study aimed to investigate the association between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and both colorectal adenomatous polyps and non-adenomatous polyps, in order to provide evidence for the prevention of colorectal cancer (CRC) in patients with NAFLD.Methods A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted at the First People’s Hospital of Kunshan, Jiangsu, China. The study included 3028 adults who… Continue reading Association of nonalcoholic fatty #liver disease with #colorectal adenomatous #polyps and non-adenomatous polyps: a cross-sectional study
