TL;DR: In this article, a review systematically synthesised all evidence and estimated thresholds of dose-response relationships of microplastics exposure to human cells and found that minimum, environmentally-relevant, concentrations of 10μg/mL (5-200-µm) had an adverse effect on cell viability, and 20μg /mL (0.4-1.4 µm) on cytokine release.

TL;DR: Latent class analysis identified 7 distinct IBS subgroups characterized by varying degrees of gastrointestinal symptoms, extraintestinal symptoms, and psychological comorbidity, and further research is needed to assess whether they might be used to direct treatment.

TL;DR: A cross‐sectional survey was conducted to examine the relationship between gastrointestinal symptom‐specific anxiety and somatization in patients with irritable bowel syndrome and the performance of the visceral sensitivity index (VSI) for measuring gastrointestinal symptom-specific anxiety.
