- 神经学 神经学
背景情况:
- 后急性感染综合征 (PAIS) 可以在SARS-CoV-2感染后发展,有时会发展为肌痛性脑筋炎/慢性疲劳综合征 (ME/CFS).
- ME/CFS是一种严重的多系统性疾病,其特点是运动后不适 (PEM),尽管怀疑神经,免疫和代谢变化,其病理生理学尚不清楚.
- 胃肠道微生物群在ME/CFS中的作用正在研究中,与免疫和炎症途径的潜在联系.
研究的目的:
- 审查目前关于胃肠道微生物群及其介质在ME/CFS中的变化的研究结果.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome I: Introduction
272
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is characterized by functional disturbances in the gastrointestinal system, presenting a cluster of symptoms without evident structural or biochemical abnormalities. It primarily affects the large intestine and may cause abdominal pain, bloating, excessive gas, diarrhea, constipation, or both.
IBS is a chronic condition that can persist over a long period or recur frequently.
The pathogenesis of IBS involves a complex interplay of the following factors:

Anatomy of the Intestines
71.8K
Although digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids may begin in the stomach, it is completed in the intestine. The absorption of nutrients, water, and electrolytes from food and drink also occurs in the intestine. The intestines can be divided into two structurally distinct organs—the small and large intestines.
Small Intestines
The small intestine is an ~7 meter-long tube with an inner diameter of just 2.5 cm. Since most nutrients are absorbed here, the inner lining of the...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Diagnostic Studies and Management I-Nutritional Therapy
331
Various diagnostic tests are employed in the diagnostic process for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), particularly to differentiate between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...
