  1. 1. Aloe barbadensis Mill. as a therapeutic option for irritable bowel syndrome

    Författare :Bani Ahluwalia; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aloe; Microbiota; Irritable Bowel Syndrome etiology; Irritable Bowel Syndrome therapy; Aloe barbadensis Mill.; Aloe; irritable bowel syndrome; metabolites; microbiota; prebiotic; immunosuppressive;

    Sammanfattning : Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic and prevalent functional gastrointestinal disorder, with an incompletely understood pathophysiology. Because of the disease complexity and heterogeneity, the currently available treatment options for IBS are limited. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Challenge models and biomarkers of human intestinal barrier function

    Författare :María Fernanda Roca Rubio; Julia König; Robert J Brummer; Richard Forsgård; Kaatje Lenaerts; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bacterial translocation; biomarkers; challenge models; intestinal barrier function; intestinal permeability; irritable bowel syndrome; physiological stress; psychological stress;

    Sammanfattning : The intestinal barrier is an essential component in maintaining human health, and several diseases and disorders have been associated with a disrupted intestinal barrier function. To evaluate the efficacy of different interventions intended to strengthen intestinal barrier function, there is a need for both appropriate challenge models as well as easily accessible biomarkers.

  4. 3. Neuro-immuno-regulation of inflammation in the colonic mucosa : Focus on mast cells and eosinophils in bowel disorders

    Författare :Maria Teresa Casado Bedmar; Åsa Keita; Johan D Söderholm; Marie Carlson; Melanie Gareau; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mast cells; Eosinophils; Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide; Neuro-immune; Intestinal barrier; Irritable bowel syndrome; Inflammatory bowel diseases; Ussing chamber; Advance image analysis;

    Sammanfattning : Intestinal homeostasis is key to control uptake across the mucosa and protect from harmful substances. Disturbances in the bidirectional communication between the gut and the brain are implicated in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), being Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) the two most common IBD subtypes.

    Sammanfattning : Inflammatory bowel diseases, (IBD), are a group of chronic disorders of the gastro-intestinal tract, and include Crohn’s disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). The pathogenesis is not known, but involves at least in part a loss of tolerance towards the commensal colonic microbiota. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Body composition and quality of life in patients with IBD, ileostomy and short bowel syndrome

    Författare :Eva Carlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; inflammatory bowel disease; Crohn´s disease; ulcerative colitis; short bowel syndrome; quality of life; health related quality of life; coping; concern; body composition; bioelectric impedance spectroscopy; Dual-energy absorptiometry; total body water;

    Sammanfattning : Patients with IBD are at risk for intestinal disability (e.g. having a stoma, malnutrition). The general aim of the thesis was to investigate physiological, psychological and social consequences of having IBD and an ileostomy or short bowel syndrome (SBS). LÄS MER
