Adult Patients who were Breastfed are Less Anxious but Suffer More Frequently of Non-Diarrheic Functional Bowel Disorders

Michel Bouchoucha, Ghislain Devroede, Pierre Rompteaux, Florence Mary, Bakhtiar Bejou and Robert Benamouzig

Many patients have persistent and recurring GI symptoms attributed to the digestive system. The Rome criteria, a classification of the functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) has been proposed, for FGIDS not associated to any structural or biochemical abnormalities. These disorders can affect any part of the GI tract (esophagus, stomach, colon, terminal intestine). FGIDs are not psychiatric disorders, although stress and psychological difficulties can make FGIDs worse. There are three prim...

On the Neurophysiology of Delusional Disorders: Top-Bottom vs. Bottom-Up Theories

Gentian Vyshka and Jera Kruja

Article Type: Opinion Paper | First Published: October 14, 2019

The psychopathology of delusions has been indelibly denoted from top-bottom theories, with a very long psychiatric tradition explaining the issue as a cortical derangement. The reverse face of the entire issue has been poorly if ever, scrutinized. The role of the peripheral nervous system in the installing and the maintaining of delusive ideas and convictions, albeit elusive, need to be addressed. The hallmark of bottom-up theory relies upon distorted primary processing of peripheral stimuli, wi...

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) has been employed for more than four decades. A crucial concern is the etiology of infertility due to the fact that it may range widely, from reproductive system anatomy and endometrium receptivity to multisystem disorders and several immunologic factors. Among the immune pathologies that could compromise fertility are the autoantibodies affecting thyroid function. Infertile women are in a great prevalence of thyroid autoimmune disorders. However, there are still uns...

Human Physiology in Extreme Heat and Cold

Braian M Beker, Camila Cervellera, Antonella De Vito and Carlos G Musso

Article Type: Review Article | First Published: March 31, 2018

The interest in the human body physiological capacity to adapt to extreme heat and cold conditions has increased enormously in the last few decades because of global warming and the consequent changing temperatures. The human body has multiple thermoregulatory mechanisms to counter the external extreme temperatures whose main objective is to keep temperature homeostasis within normal values. As exposure time to these stressful conditions increases and the external temperature becomes even more e...
