New Book: Gut Feelings: Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction and the Patient-Doctor Relationship. A Guide for Patients and Doctors

A ground-breaking book on the science, diagnosis, and treatment of the Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI), formerly called Functional GI Disorders and the importance of effective communication skills for patients and their doctors.  The book was written as a collaboration by an internationally acclaimed gastroenterologist and a patient advocate with one main goal: to improve the care of patients with DGBI, as a cooperation between the Drossman Center and Rome Foundation.


Graphical Abstract: Impact of COVID-19 on the brain-gut-microbiota axis in Parkinson’s disease

Dr. Cristian Follmer from Laboratory of Biological Chemistry of Neurodegenerative Disorders, Institute of Chemistry, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, has recently summarized new observations regarding a potential impact of COVID-19 on Parkinson’s disease with respect to the gut microbiome imbalance and neuroinflammation. In his letter published in Movement Disorders he presented how viral infections might promote gut dysbiosis and intestinal inflammation. This can lead to impaired mucosal integrity and release of lipopolysaccharides that, in turn, might stimulate the formation of deposits of α-synuclein in enteric nerves and neuroinflammation via microglial activation.

Graphical Abstract: Large Retrospective Cohort Treated by Sacral Nerve Modulation for Fecal Incontinence

The aim of this study (Ten-year Evaluation of a Large Retrospective Cohort Treated by Sacral Nerve Modulation for Fecal Incontinence: Results of a French Multicenter Study) was to assess the effectiveness of sacral nerve modulation in a large cohort of patients implanted for at least 10 years, quantify adverse event rates, and identify predictive factors of long-term success. Long-term efficacy was maintained in approximately half of the faecal incontinence patients treated by sacral nerve modulation at least 10 years post-implantation.
