Background And Aim: Patients with Crohn's disease (CD) are at risk for short bowel syndrome (SBS). We investigated independent predictors for SBS in these patients to allow the development of preventive strategies.
Methods: All adult patients seen at the Nancy University hospital for CD or SBS between 2012 and 2019 were eligible for inclusion in this case-control study. Each CD patient with SBS was matched to 9 controls.
Results: 410 CD patients were included (369 without SBS and 41 with SBS). Subjects with SBS underwent significantly more bowel resections (median value of 3 vs 1, p<0.0001) and median time before the first surgery was not different than controls (6 vs 4 years, p=0.59). A higher need for parenteral support was found in end-jejunostomy SBS than in jejunocolic and jejunoileal SBS (70.6% vs 25% and 0%, p=0.0031). Montreal B1 behavior (OR 0.02, CI 95% 0-0.08) and budesonide treated-patients (OR=0.03, CI 95% 0.003-0.2) were at lower risk of SBS, while IV steroid treated-patients were at higher risk (OR=8.5, CI 95% 3.0-24.9).
Conclusion: Montreal B1 behavior, IV steroids and budesonide use are influencing predictors for this complication. These predictors should be assessed in daily clinical practice to prevent SBS occurrence.

The vagus nerve is proposed to enable communication between the gut microbiome and the brain, but activity-based evidence is lacking. We find that mice reared germ-free exhibit decreased vagal tone relative to colonized controls, which is reversed via microbiota restoration. Perfusing antibiotics into the small intestines of conventional mice, but not germ-free mice, acutely decreases vagal activity which is restored upon re-perfusion with intestinal filtrates from conventional, but not germ-free, mice.

Introduction And Hypothesis: This manuscript is part of the International Urogynecological Consultation (IUC) on Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP), Chapter 3, Committee 1 focusing on pessary management of POP.
Methods: A narrative review was conducted by an international, multi-disciplinary group of clinicians working in the field of pelvic health following a search of the literature using the MeSH terms "pelvic organ prolapse" OR "urogenital prolapse" OR "vaginal prolapse" OR "uterovaginal prolapse" AND "pessary" OR "support device" OR "intravaginal device." Relevant studies, as determined after review using the Covidence manuscript review platform, were included.

Curcuminoids, found in turmeric ( L.), include curcumin (CUR), demethoxycurcumin (DMC), and bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC). Although CUR and DMC are well-studied, the anti-inflammatory effects of BDMC remain less explored.

Unlabelled: Although metagenomic investigations into microbial fiber-degrading capabilities are currently prevalent, there is a notable gap in research concerning the regulatory mechanisms underpinning host-microbiota interactions that confer tolerance to high-fiber diets in pigs. In this study, 28 Meishan (MS) and 28 Large White (LW) pigs were subjected to feeding experiments involving various fiber levels. Subsequently, multi-omics was employed to investigate the influence of host-microbiota interactions on the fiber degradation of pigs.

Background: Management of children with functional abdominal pain (FAP) or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is difficult in primary care. When education and reassurance do not alleviate symptoms, primary care physicians lack treatment options for children with FAP or IBS. Home-based guided hypnotherapy is a promising treatment because of its accessibility.
