Migration of eosinophils and CCR2-/CD68-double positive cells into the duodenal mucosa of patients with postinfectious functional dyspepsia.

TLDR
Migration of inflammatory cells, in particular, duodenal CCR2-positive macrophages, may have an important function in the pathophysiology of postinfectious FD patients.

Global Epidemiology of Campylobacter Infection

TL;DR: Overall, campylobacteriosis is still one of the most important infectious diseases that is likely to challenge global health in the years to come.

Impaired duodenal mucosal integrity and low-grade inflammation in functional dyspepsia

TL;DR: It is suggested that impaired intestinal barrier function is a pathophysiological mechanism in FD and restoration of intestinal barrier integrity may be a potential therapeutic target for treating patients with FD.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mucosal immune system: master regulator of bidirectional gut-brain communications.

TL;DR: The role of the immune system is considered as the gatekeeper and master regulator of brain–gut and gut–brain communications and how these key immune cells respond to environmental variables, including the microbiota, to alter gut homeostasis is considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional dyspepsia--symptoms, definitions and validity of the Rome III criteria.

TL;DR: Preliminary pathophysiological studies suggest that PDS might be characterized by a higher prevalence of impaired gastric accommodation than EPS and raised duodenal eosinophil counts, and whether different treatment approaches are needed for EPS and PDS is currently unclear.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for functional dyspepsia

TL;DR: The proposed pharmacological treatment is divided into two steps: initial treatment including an acid inhibitory drug (H2RA or PPI) or prokinetics, (strong recommendation); second-line treatment including anxiolytics, antidepressants, and Japanese traditional medicine (weak recommendation).

Classification and grading of gastritis.The updated Sydney system

TL;DR: The Sydney System for the classification of gastritis emphasized the importance of combining topographical, morphological, and etiological information into a schema that would help to generate reproducible and clinically useful diagnoses as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

The functional gastrointestinal disorders and the Rome III process.

TL;DR: Two important processes have occurred to legitimize these conditions, and to increase attention toward the research and clinical care of patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID), a shift in conceptualizing these disorders from a disease-based, reductionistic model, to a more integrated, biopsychosocial model of illness.

Increased rectal mucosal enteroendocrine cells, T lymphocytes, and increased gut permeability following acute Campylobacter enteritis and in post-dysenteric irritable bowel syndrome

TL;DR: Increased EC, T lymphocytes, and gut permeability are acute changes following Campylobacter enteritis which can persist for more than a year and may contribute to PD-IBS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of impaired gastric accommodation to a meal in functional dyspepsia

TL;DR: Impaired relaxation of the proximal stomach to a meal is present in a high proportion of patients with functional dyspepsia and is associated with symptoms of early satiety, and restoring gastric accommodation with a fundus-relaxing drug improves early satieties.
