Validation of a Hand-Held Point-of-Care Device to Measure Breath Hydrogen and Its Utility in Detecting Response to Antibiotic Treatment Open
Measuring postprandial hydrogen shows potential as a means of differentiating patients with chronic GI symptoms from healthy controls and may be useful in monitoring patients before, during, and after treatment. Future studies could help d…

Long-term neurological and gastrointestinal sequelae of SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and other neurotropic infections with and without vaccination Open
COVID-19 increases the risk of neurological and gastrointestinal sequelae, but it is unclear if it does so more than other infections. Using a multicenter record network, we matched 649,478 COVID-19 patients to negative controls (NCs) and …

Joint Hypermobility, Autonomic Dysfunction, Gastrointestinal Dysfunction, and Autoimmune Markers: Clinical Associations and Response to Intravenous Immunoglobulin Therapy Open
INTRODUCTION: We examined autoimmunity markers (AIM) and autonomic dysfunction in patients with chronic neurogastroenterological symptoms and their relationship to joint hypermobility/hypermobility spectrum disorder (JH/HSD). METHODS: AIM …

A Syndrome of Joint Hypermobility, Autonomic Dysfunction, Gastrointestinal Dysfunction and Autoimmune markers (JAG-A): Clinical Associations and Response to Intravenous Immunoglobulin Therapy Open
Background and aims We examined autoimmunity markers (AIMs) in patients with unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms, their relationship to joint hypermobility/hypermobility spectrum disorder (JH/HSD) and the response to intravenous immunogl…

Gastrointestinal syndromes preceding a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease: testing Braak’s hypothesis using a nationwide database for comparison with Alzheimer’s disease and cerebrovascular diseases Open
Objective Braak’s hypothesis states that Parkinson’s disease (PD) originates in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and similar associations have been established for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and cerebrovascular diseases (CVD). We aimed to de…

Improving the Diagnosis of SIBO Using an At-Home Handheld App Connected Breath Analysis Device (AIRE) Open
INTRODUCTION Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is a common yet underdiagnosed condition. Lactulose hydrogen breath tests (LHBT) are typically used to detect SIBO; however, current breath testing methods require specialised, expe…
