Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder. Its diagnosis is based on symptoms, and the Rome IV criteria are recognized as the gold diagnostic standard. The Korean Society of Neurogastroenterology and Motility (KSNM) recently updated their clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of IBS, which were last issued in 2011. In this updated edition, the KSNM defines IBS as a chronic, recurrent symptom complex that includes abdominal pain or discomfort, changes in bowel habits, and bloating for at least 6 months, which is somewhat broader than the previous definition. Four major topics have been changed in the up-dated version in-line with the results of recent studies, that is, colonoscopy; a diet low in fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols; probiotics; and rifaximin. Herein, we review the 2017 revised edition of the KSNM with respect to recommended clinical practice guidelines for IBS and compare these with other guidelines.

Purpose: Over the past 15 years, the landscape of early phase clinical trials (EPCTs) has undergone a remarkable expansion in both quantity and intricacy. The proliferation of sites, trials, sponsors, and contract research organizations has surged exponentially, marking a significant shift in research conduct. However, EPCT operations suffer from numerous inefficiencies, such as cumbersome start-up processes, which are particularly critical when drug safety and the recommended phase II dose need to be established in a timely manner.

College of Nursing & Health Science, Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia.
Background: Despite an overall decline in serious adverse events in hospitalized patients, approximately one third of inpatient mortality continues to relate to adverse events impacting patients on general wards. The preparedness of nurses, midwives, and nursing assistants (collectively referred to as ward-based staff) to recognize patient deterioration is therefore seen as critical.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore ward-based staff perspectives regarding their preparedness to recognize patient deterioration.
