UEG Activity Grant

We are pleased to inform you that the United European Gastroenterology (UEG) approved two recent grant applications for ESNM, both on guideline development. One grant was approved for development of a guideline on achalasia (chaired by Arjan Bredenoord), another grant will allow the development of guideline for gastroparesis and functional dyspepsia (chaired by Paul Enck and Jan Tack).

Report IBS Days Bologna 2018

Nearly 400 physicians – mostly from Italy, but also from abroad – resembled in Bologna in these days to attend again the 2nd IBS Bologna Days (May 17 – 19, 2018), after a first edition in 2016, a CME programme dedicated to progress in our understanding and clinical management of the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). World-known speakers from Europe, the US/Canada and from Asia presented an update on their research into mechanisms, diagnosis and therapy of IBS and related functional gastrointestinal disorders, including the role of the gut microbiota, food interventions, and associated conditions, e.g. celiac and non-celiac gluten hypersensitivity.

ESNM at the 8th European Paediatric Gastrointestinal Motility Meeting

The ESNM were well represented at 8th European Paediatric Gastrointestinal Motility Meeting (22nd-24th March, London, UK) particularly in the symposium ‘Key Players in GI motility: The Cutting Edge’ in which I spoke about ‘ The Microbiome’, Adam Farmer, ‘The Brain’ and Giovanni Barbara, ‘Neuroimmune Interactions’. This international meeting provides the main forum for Paediatric Neurogastroenterology and Motility and celebrated the real progress made in the field and exciting prospects for the future.

DDW 2018 Debate! To POEM or not to POEM?

Lee Swanstrom, surgeon, promoted POEM and stated that this technique already reached 10 years of clinical experience (7000 cases) with hundreds of publications. According to his experience and according to a metaanalysis, Heller myotomy and POEM are equivalent in regard to complications, relief of dysphagia (Eckardt Score) and GERD. In contrary, Peter Kahrilas promoted dilation, demonstrating that dilation of Type 2 is very successful (95-100%)

Highlights NMO Journal (Volume 30, Number 7)

In the current issue of NGM https://doi.org/10.1111/nmo.13393, Chen and Yin review acupuncture and transcutaneous electrical stimulation as a treatment possibilities for functional gastrointestinal diseases. In the same issue two placebo-controlled studies document long-standing effects on functional dyspepsia https://doi.org/10.1111/nmo.13316 and constipation https://doi.org/10.1111/nmo.13307. Although the studies have limitations it is worth noting that the effects of neuromodulation on motility are at least as effective as prokinetics and analgesics, and it is likely worthwhile to include acupuncture and similar techniques in the treatment armamentarium for neurogastroenterologists.

"Low-dose penicillin exposure in adolescent mice has long-term, sex-dependent consequences on behaviour and physiology" by Karen-Anne Neufeld
To date, no work has examined the potential impact of low-dose antibiotic treatment during later critical windows of development. Adolescence is a vulnerable period during which the brain is highly plastic and psychiatric illness often first manifests. Examining low-dose penicillin administration during this developmental period, and its effects on the microbiota-gut-brain axis is of high relevance.

GMFH Wold Summit 2018 Report

Over 300 researchers, physicians, dietitians and other healthcare professionals gathered in Rome (Italy), last March, for the 7th edition of the Gut Microbiota for Health World Summit 2018. They discussed the latest developments in the field of gut microbiota and their application to clinical practice. With Prof. Fernando Azpiroz as Chair of the Scientific Committee, the summit was co-organized by the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA), the European Society for Neurogastroenterology & Motility (ESNM), and the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN).
