Metabarcoding of Colonic Cleansing Fluid Reveals Unique Bacterial Members of Mucosal Microbiota Associated With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a group of chronic idiopathic inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract associated with the dysbiosis of gut microbiota. Metabarcoding-based profiling of the gut microbiota of IBD patients is generally based on the stool samples collected from individual patients which rarely represent the mucosa-associated microbiota.

Evaluation of autonomic nervous system functions in frame of heart rate variability in children with inflammatory bowel disease in remission

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is one of the reliable and noninvasive parameters to evaluate autonomic control of the cardiovascular system in patients. The aim of our study was to assess autonomic function in pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in remission using Power Spectral Analysis of HRV. Autonomic cardiovascular function was evaluated by time and frequency-domain indexes of spontaneous heart rate in 36 IBD children patients in remission phase and 36 sex and age matched healthy controls.
