Inflammatory Bowel

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a psychosomatic disorder characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Metabolism of an individual affected with IBD is equated to imbalance of jatharagni (digestive fire) which results in atijeernam (hyper digestive disorder), ajeernam (hypo digestive disorder), or kutajeernam (erroneous digestive disorder). Yoga stabilizes jatharagni that helps energy transformation of 1) food substances into nutritious substance, 2) nutritious substance into tissues. It improves anabolic and catabolic processes which help absorption of energy. Yogic cleansing techniques promote elimination of ama (toxic products) and kleda (waste products). Yoga therapy along with herbal medicine and lifestyle modification helps develop balanced state of doshas in individuals with IBD. Yoga practice has a healing effect on mind and body, reduces stress, increases emotional and physical self-awareness, and improves the ability to manage physical symptoms.

Nonspecific digestive disorders (NSDD) are one of the major intestinal problems in rabbit, with considerable economic losses in industrial rabbit farms. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), as small non-coding RNAs, have significant biological involvement in intestinal disorders. In this study, we investigated the expression levels of 25 genes and 25 miRNAs in ileum, rabbit sacculus rotundus (RSR) and colon tissues from 9 rabbits with different severity of NSDD. These molecules have been found to be related to NSDD or inflammatory bowel disease, which will help recognise the miRNA-mRNA pairs. Finally, 108 possible pairs of miRNA-mRNA pairs with an anti-correlation were identified by Pearson’s correlation analysis between differentially expressed 25 miRNAs and 23 mRNAs. Ninety-five of these miRNA-mRNA pairs were hitherto unexplored, and their roles in NSDD biology require further elucidation. Our results give a clue to the potential miRNA-mRNA pairs for the NSDD that can further improve the understanding of the pathogenesis of NSDD in rabbit.

Inflammatory Bowel

INTRODUCTION: It is notable that patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have insufficient knowledge about their disease and are willing to be more involved in their treatment. Nowadays medical information are easily available and health related topics state the third most frequent reason for using the Internet. Therefore patient’s health related self-awareness and willing to take part in medical decisions has improved. The possibility of choice of specialized health services may have positive effect on patient’s satisfaction. The aim of the study was to characterize the extent of Internet use for health information among a representative sample of the IBD patients and to examine the effects that Internet and other resources of information about specialized health services has on patients' pick of a doctor and hospital department. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 135 IBD patients admitted to the Department of General and Colorectal Surgery at Medical University of Lodz were asked to complete a anonymous questionnaire. Only 123 fully completed questionnaires were included for analysis. Study group involved 68 women and 55 men. RESULTS: 85,4% IBD patients used Internet in order to gather medical information about their disease. Age of those patients was significantly lower than these patients who didn’t use Internet. The most reliable source of information about physician was Internet. Opinions and recommendations gathered from Internet have notable influence on patients' preference of hospital department and attending physician. CONCLUSIONS: Majority of patients used Internet as a source of medical information related to IBD. Opinions obtained from the Internet seem to be the most reliable regarding attending physicians treating IBD patients.

BACKGROUND: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an incurable, chronic, gastrointestinal condition characterised by recurrent bouts of debilitating abdominal pain and diarrhoea. There is little information on how adolescents with paediatric IBD (PIBD) face the challenges of living with the disease and their perceptions of their journeys towards adulthood. This paper reports the findings of a qualitative study on these issues in adolescents living with PIBD in South Australia. METHODS: Potential study participants, aged between 12 and 17 years were selected by a treating clinician from the PIBD clinic of a major referral hospital, to achieve gender balance and some diversity in the PIBD stage and severity. In-depth face-to-face interviews focused on participants’ perceptions about living with IBD during adolescence and for the future. Interviews were recorded, transcribed and analyzed thematically. RESULTS: Nine adolescents aged 15-17 years consented to participate in the study. Using an overarching theme of ‘the journey’, three major temporal themes were apparent, namely, ‘Reactions at time of diagnosis’, ‘Learning to cope with IBD’ and ‘Acceptance and the future with IBD’. This study demonstrates that, even with optimum support, the pathways towards adulthood were often turbulent and challenging for these young people due to the unpredictability of painful and/or embarrassing physical symptoms. They nevertheless developed strategies which enabled them to accept and cope with a new ‘normality’ with positivity and determination. More research is warranted to investigate the skills required to navigate this path successfully.

Topical Dosage

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a common pathology that reduces the quality and duration of a patient’s life. The cornerstone of treatment of IBD patients is polypharmacotherapy based on the use of salicylates, antibiotics, immunomodulatory and biological drugs, and topical dosage forms. Multicomponent treatment has shown to reduce the quality of life and negatively affect adherence to drug therapy in IBD patients.One of the leading causes of treatment failure is low treatment adherence, which leads to disease progression, disability, and increased financial costs. Currently, there are many factors that affect adherence to therapy, some of them are modifiable, which creates opportunities to improve the effectiveness of existing medical interventions. However, the available data on the level of adherence in IBD patients are not numerous and homogeneous, so a low level of adherence to drug therapy in IBD patients is registered in 7–72% of cases.An important issue in understanding adherence in IBD patients is a lack of research on the level of adherence to counselling and lifestyle modification. However, the course of IBD, treatment features related to the duration of therapy and necessary lifestyle modifications (nutrition), as well as regular monitoring of laboratory and instrumental parameters determine the need to assess adherence to lifestyle modification and counselling along with adherence to drug therapy.

SynopsisWe compared 71 patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and 40 patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) using structured interviews for psychiatric, gastrointestinal and sexual/physical victimization histories, as well as self-reported measures of personality, functional disability and dissociation. IBS patients had significantly higher lifetime prevalence rates of major depression, current panic disorder, and childhood sexual abuse. Despite the absence of organic pathology, IBS patients had significantly higher numbers of medically unexplained physical symptoms and disability ratings equal to, or greater than, those of patients with severe organic gastrointestinal disease.
