Abstract

Abdominal pain is an important symptom in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but patients report typical pain intensities ranging from mild to very severe. In a sample of women, the authors sought to determine whether measures of systemic autonomic activity are related to self-reported pain intensity and the occurrence of pain in the postprandial period. One hundred and six women with IBS and 41 controls completed bowel symptom and psychological distress questionnaires and wore 24-h Holter electrocardiogram monitors to estimate global heart rate variability measures of parasympathetic activity and sympathetic nervous system/parasympathetic nervous system balance. About one-third of the IBS sample reported severe or very severe abdominal pain (n = 34/106), and about one-half of the IBS sample reported postprandial pain (n = 52/106). Even after statistically controlling for age, body mass index, and psychological distress, vagal heart rate variability measures were markedly lower in women reporting high pain (P < 0.01) and markedly higher in women reporting postprandial pain (P < 0.02). The vagal component of heart rate variability appears to be reduced in women with severe abdominal pain, especially in those whose pain is not postp...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
