Evaluation of functional gastrointestinal disorders in children aged 4-10 years with autism spectrum disorder
CONCLUSION: In this study, the most common FGIDs in the ASD group were abdominal migraine, functional constipation, and non-retentive fecal incontinence. The finding that most children with ASD who had fecal incontinence did not show stool retention implicated social, psychological, and behavioral factors as the causes of incontinence. Raising awareness of healthcare professionals about the frequency of FGIDs in children with ASD will improve many areas in the daily lives of these children.PMID:38523379 | DOI:10.24953/turkjped.2023.558 (Source: The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics)

Profiling of Metabolites in a Fermented Soy Dietary Supplement Reinforces its Role in the Management of Intestinal Inflammation
ConclusionThe identification of bioactive molecules, such as genistein and SCFAs, capable of modulating anti-inflammatory signaling cascades in the stomach's gastric and neuroendocrine tissues can explain the reported biological effects in GAD and is supported by in vivo data.

Development and validation of the Gastrointestinal Symptom Severity Scale in Spanish children and adolescents
Conclusions: The GSSS shows promising psychometric properties for assessing GS in neurotypical Spanish adolescents and children.What is Known:• To the best of our knowledge, instruments assessing the severity of gastrointestinal symptoms in children and adolescents are still too few.What is New:• The GSSS shows promising psychometric properties for assessing GS in neurotypical adolescents and children. The GSSS may help improve understanding of GS involvement in the gut-brain microbiota axis in children and adolescents. (Source: European Journal of Pediatrics)

A systematic review of Sandifer syndrome in children with severe gastroesophageal reflux
ConclusionThe primary care providers should keep SS in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with abnormal posturing and no apparent neuromuscular disorders. Fundoplication may be effective especially for patients with anatomical anomalies or those whose symptoms do not improve after more than 1 month with nonsurgical treatment.

Risk factors associated with functional esophageal disorders (FED) versus gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
DiscussionThis is the first report of a greater risk of FED in patients with underweight BMI, insomnia, chronic pain, allergic rhinitis, or of Asian or Hispanic ethnicities. The weak associations between female gender and anxiety are corroborated in other studies. Our findings enable clinicians to better screen patients with reflux for this disorder.Graphical abstract (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Prevalence and causes of chronic cough in Japan
CONCLUSIONS: We confirmed that the main causes of chronic cough were cough variant asthma, SBS, atopic cough, and their complications. We also showed that complicated GER-associated cough was more likely to become refractory. This is the first nationwide study in Japan of the causes and treatment effects of chronic cough.PMID:38522360 | DOI:10.1016/j.resinv.2024.02.017 (Source: Respiratory Care)

Obesity and Upper Gastrointestinal Diseases
Korean J Gastroenterol. 2024 Mar 25;83(3):81-86. doi: 10.4166/kjg.2024.015.ABSTRACTObesity increases gastroesophageal reflux disease through several factors. As a result, Barrett's esophagus, esophageal adenocarcinoma, and gastroesophageal junctional gastric cancer are increasing. Existing studies usually defined obesity by body mass index and analyzed the correlation. Recently, more studies have shown that central obesity is a more important variable in upper gastrointestinal diseases related to gastroesophageal reflux. Studies have reported that weight loss is effective in reducing gastroesophageal reflux symptoms. Obesi...
