Background The disorder of the gut-brain interaction, in adolescence, is high prevalence worldwide. Up till now there no clear aetiology for this gastrointestinal dysfunction. Objective To assess status intestinal barrier those having gut dysfunction compared with control group. Materials and methods A case-control study involved 180 Egyptian adolescents. They were distributed into two groups, cases positive ROME criteria controls negative criteria. Serum anti-flagellin antibodies (IgA IgG) fatty acid binding protein assessed both groups. Results conclusion Ninety-nine adolescents out values equivocal Therefore, screening interaction disorders by worthful all positivity does not always denote an underlying defect.

BACKGROUND Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) in children present with chronic symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation without identifiable structural abnormalities. These are closely linked to gut-brain axis dysfunction, altered gut microbiota, psychosocial stress, leading psychiatric comorbidities such as anxiety, depression, behavioral issues. Understanding this bidirectional relationship is crucial for developing effective, holistic management strategies that address physical mental health. AIM To examine the impacts of FGIDs children, focusing on anxiety depression their association other neurodevelopmental childhood, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, emphasizing role axis, emotional dysregulation, stress. Key mechanisms explored include neurotransmitter microbiota imbalance, central sensitization, heightening stress reactivity, symptom perception. The review also evaluates family dynamics coping exacerbating FGID contributing conditions. METHODS A narrative was conducted using 328 studies sourced from PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, covering research published over past 20 years. Inclusion criteria focused examining diagnosis, mechanisms, comorbidities, factors pediatric populations. commonly affecting including functional constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, gastroesophageal reflux, cyclic vomiting were analyzed concerning psychological impacts. RESULTS highlights a strong connection between symptoms, mediated by dysregulated sensitization. physiological disruptions increase children’s vulnerability while - early-life trauma, maladaptive dynamics, ineffective intensify cycle distress. CONCLUSION Effective requires biopsychosocial approach integrating medical, psychological, dietary interventions. Parental education, early intervention, multidisciplinary care coordination critical mitigating long-term improving both health outcomes FGIDs.

Methods We conducted thorough search across eight databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Web Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM. The covered period from inception each database up June 30, 2024. authors independently reviewed all references, evaluated risk bias, extracted data.

Functional dyspepsia (FD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are the most prevalent disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI), frequently overlapping associated with complex pathophysiological mechanisms. Increasing evidence implicates gut microbiota alterations in driving symptoms via immune activation, altered motility, vascular barrier axis disruption. This review explores role FD IBS pathogenesis symptomatology. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, Google Scholar databases, including studies published between January 2013 March 2025. Particular focus is given to microbiota-targeted therapies such as prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, postbiotics, fecal transplantation (FMT). The also discusses multidimensional treatment strategies combining dietary lifestyle modification, cognitive-behavioral therapy, pharmacological neuromodulation. Recent advances diagnostic methods, capsule-based sampling digital tools for remote psychogastroenterology care, highlighted. Despite scientific progress, current DGBI management remains insufficiently personalized. Future approaches should integrate individualized profiling targeted interventions utilize innovative health technologies enhance clinical outcomes IBS.

A 38-year-old male patient with sedentary lifestyle, diagnosed IBS based on Rome 4 criteria, was underwent Yoga Naturopathy (Y&N) interventions for one month in our outpatient department. The result showed reduced Bowel Syndrome Severity Score (IBS-SSS) (315 to 109) perceived stress (PSS) score (29 12) level.

SummaryIn many social mammals, early life and integration in adulthood largely predict individual health, lifespan, reproductive success. So far, research has mainly focused on chronic stress as the physiological mediator between environment fitness. Here, we propose an alternative, non-exclusive mechanism relying microbially mediated effects: relationships with conspecifics might strongly contribute to diversifying host microbiomes transmission of beneficial microbes. In turn, more diverse valuable would promote pathogen resistance optimal health translate into lifelong fitness benefits. This relies recent findings showing that are transmitted via routes play a pervasive role development, physiology susceptibility pathogens.
