The interplay between diet-induced obesity and gastrointestinal dysfunction is an evolving area of research with far-reaching implications for understanding the gutbrain axis interactions. In their study, Ramírez-Maldonado et al. employ a cafeteria (CAF) diet model to investigate the effects on gut microbiota, enteric nervous system (ENS) integrity and function, and gastrointestinal motility in mice.

The stomach is responsible for physically and chemically processing the ingested meal before controlled emptying into the duodenum through the pyloric sphincter. An incompetent pylorus allows reflux from the duodenum back into the stomach, and if the amount of reflux is large enough, it could alter the low pH environment of the stomach and erode the mucosal lining of the lumen. In some cases, the regurgitated contents can also reach the esophagus leading to additional complications.

Background/aims: Oro-pharyngeal dysfunction has been reported in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). We aimed to assess ALS patients upper gastrointestinal (GI) motor activity and GI symptoms according to bulbar and spinal onset and severity of ALS.
Methods: ALS bulbar (B) and spinal (S) patients with ALS Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS-r) ≥35, bulbar sub-score ≥10, and Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) >50%, underwent to: Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES); esophageal manometry; gastric emptying; Rome symptom questionnaire.

In patients with disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI), overlapping non-gastrointestinal conditions such as fibromyalgia, headaches, gynaecological and urological conditions, sleep disturbances and fatigue are common, as is overlap among DGBI in different regions of the gastrointestinal tract. These overlaps strongly influence patient management and outcome. Shared pathophysiology could explain this scenario, but details are not fully understood.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and esophageal motility of patients with gastric cardia submucosal tumors (SMTs) and the associated changes after endoscopic resection based on high-resolution impedance manometry (HRIM).
Methods: From our electronic database, we identified patients who underwent pre-operative evaluation of gastric cardia SMTs between 2015 and 2023. All patients completed standardized symptom questionnaires and underwent endoscopic ultrasonography and HRIM.
