Abstract:
Doctor of Philosophy<br>Nineteenth century philosophy and anatomy regarded the nervous system as the only pathway of communication between the brain and body but now, research in the field of psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) has provided evidence to prove the age-old belief that there is a connection between the mind (or mental/emotional states) and the body. Researchers in PNI have now shown that the communication between the nervous and immune systems is bi-directional – i.e. there is a psychological reaction to physical disease and a somatic presentation of psychological disorders - and that the

Abstract:
Bloating and distension remain important and intrusive manifestations of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Although much of previous literature has used the the terms bloating and distension interchangeably, epidemiological data suggest that (i) distension is seen more commonly in IBS with constipation (IBS-C) compared with IBS with diarrhoea (JBS-D) patients (ii) bloating and distension seem to "correlate predominantly but not exclusively in IBS-C.

Abstract:
Background The importance of interactions between the host and gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is becoming increasingly apparent. Probiotics offer a potential new therapy for the treatment of IBS, but current results with these products are conflicting, largely as a result of poorly designed trials and non-standardisation of outcome measures. Aims The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of a liquid, multi-strain probiotic in the treatment of IBS.

Background and aims Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common gastrointestinal disorder characterized by abdominal pain and altered bowel habits. The societal costs of the disorder are significant, as are its negative effects on quality of life. Medical treatment options are limited, but psychological treatments such as hypnotherapy have proven to be effective. Important pathophysiological mechanisms include disturbances in brain processing of visceral sensation and expectation of visceral sensation.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is characterized by chronic abdominal pain/discomfort along with altered bowel habits, which accounts for a large proportion of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders worldwide. While psychiatric distress like depression is one of the most frequent comorbidities in IBS patients, which not only influences the quality of life, it also leads to a substantial economic burden and inefficient treatment in IBS patients. Inflammation, altered activities of the HPA axis, aberrant central neuroplasticity and neurotransmission have been highly regarded as pathogenic factors of the

Abstract:
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a condition where abdominal pain, diarrhoea, constipation, gas distension and/or variability in the bowel habit are experienced.

Abstract:
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), majorly characterized by irregular bowel movements and abdominal pain, is one of the most prevalent functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) in the world. Disturbance of gut microbiota, closely linking with gut dysfunction, has been regarded as one of important pathogenetic factors for IBS. However, gut microbiota-driven mechanism underlying IBS remains unclear, which leads to inefficient and non-specific effects of current microbiota-oriented therapy.

Abstract:
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) remains a heterogeneous condition and is a common condition. The causes of IBS remain poorly understood and there is a lack in biomarkers to distinguish this condition. Recently, there have been reports on the release of immune mediators leading to symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. Mast cells, which can be activated by allergy or stress, are thought to be important cause of symptoms in some IBS patients because they can release chemicals, which cause pain and diarrhoea. Currently, there are few effective treatments available to alleviate these symptoms. Recen
