Publication date: Available online 18 September 2017 Source:Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology Author(s): Andrew D. Spence, Mais Khasawneh, Patrick B. Allen, Jennifer Addley Effective communication between healthcare staff and patients is central to development of the patient-professional relationship. Many barriers influence this communication, often resulting in patients' lack of understanding and retention of information, particularly affecting advice regarding lifestyle habits, such as alcohol consumption and smoking. Alcohol and smoking misuse are potentially modifiable risk factors known...

Action and function of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii in health and disease
Publication date: Available online 18 September 2017 Source:Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology Author(s): Carmen Veríssima Ferreira-Halder, Alessandra Valéria de Sousa Faria, Sheila Siqueira Andrade Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, anaerobic bacteria, is one of the main components of gut microbiota and the most important butyrate-producing bacteria in the human colon. So far, this commensal bacterium has been considered as a bioindicator of human health, once when its population is altered (decreased), inflammatory processes are favored. Several reports in the literature highlighted that the amo...

Tobacco smoking, alcohol consumption and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease
Publication date: Available online 7 September 2017 Source:Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology Author(s): Eivind Ness-Jensen, Jesper Lagergren Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) develops when reflux of gastric content causes troublesome symptoms or complications. The main symptoms are heartburn and acid regurgitation and complications include oesophagitis, strictures, Barrett's oesophagus and oesophageal adenocarcinoma. In addition to hereditary influence, GORD is associated with lifestyle factors, mainly obesity. Tobacco smoking is regarded as an aetiological factor of GORD, while alcohol ...

The role of smoking and alcohol behaviour in management of functional gastrointestinal disorders
Publication date: Available online 7 September 2017 Source:Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology Author(s): Bodil Ohlsson Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are common disorders in the population. Lifestyle habits have been suspected to influence the presence and degree of symptoms, and many studies have examined the role of food components and physical activity on the disease development. The role of smoking and alcohol intake on FGID has been less thoroughly examined. This systematic literature review, of a large amount of studies from different countries around the world with different...

Alcohol, smoking and benign hepato-biliary disease
Publication date: Available online 7 September 2017 Source:Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology Author(s): Daniel Mønsted Shabanzadeh, Srdan Novovic Gallstone disease and pancreatitis are the most frequent benign hepato-biliary causes of hospital admissions. Gallstone disease is prevalent, but symptomatic disease develops only in about one out of five carriers. Alcohol intake seems to protect gallstone formation in cohort studies possibly through effects on bile cholesterol metabolism, the enterohepatic circulation, and gallbladder function. The impact of smoking on gallstone formation seems mino...

Alcohol, smoking and risk of oesophago-gastric cancer
Publication date: Available online 8 September 2017 Source:Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology Author(s): Jing Dong, Aaron P. Thrift Oesophago-gastric cancers (oesophageal and gastric cancers) are common, highly fatal cancers. Oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) are the two main histological subtypes of oesophageal cancer. Globally, OSCC remains the most common histological subtype of oesophageal cancer, with the highest burden occurring along two geographic belts, one from north central China through the central Asian republics to northern Iran, and on...

Tobacco and alcohol as risk factors for pancreatic cancer
Publication date: Available online 6 September 2017 Source:Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology Author(s): Murray Korc, Christie Y. Jeon, Mouad Edderkaoui, Stephen J. Pandol, Maxim S. Petrov Pancreatic cancer is projected to become the leading cause of cancer deaths by 2050. The risk for pancreatic cancer may be reduced by up to 27% by modifying lifestyle risk factors, most notably tobacco smoking. Based on analysis of more than 2 million unselected individuals from general population, this article quantified the risk of pancreatic cancer in relation to lifelong tobacco smoking and alcohol cons...

Lifestyle alters GUT-bacteria function: Linking immune response and host
Publication date: Available online 6 September 2017 Source:Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology Author(s): Omid Jazayeri, S. Mojtaba Daghighi, Farhad Rezaee Microbiota in human is a “mixture society” of different species (i.e. bacteria, viruses, funguses) populations with a different way of relationship classification to Human. Human GUT serves as the host of the majority of different bacterial populations (GUT flora, more than 500 species), which are with us (“from the beginning”) in an innate manner known as the commensal (no harm to each other) and symbiotic (mutual benefit) relationsh...

Alcohol, smoking and the liver disease patient
Publication date: Available online 7 September 2017 Source:Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology Author(s): Hannes Hagström Alcohol is an established risk factor for cirrhosis. Current recommendations for a “safe” limit for alcohol consumption are usually set to around 30 g of alcohol per day for men and 20 g per day for women, but evidence is mounting that these cut-offs might be set too high. Also, inter-individual differences in the hepatic sensitivity for alcohol likely play into the risk of development of cirrhosis. In patients with concomitant liver diseases, a synergistic effect on fib...

Diet, microbiome, and colorectal cancer
Publication date: Available online 5 September 2017 Source:Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology Author(s): Sergey R. Konstantinov The scientific interests in the colorectal cancer (CRC) associated microbiome have increased significantly in the past decade. Mechanistically, several members of the human microbiome and products thereof have been implicated as inductors of the pathogenic inflammation related to CRC. Conversely, the activities of the human intestinal microbial community influenced by specific diet might confer a protective effect against the CRC risks and progression. As the microbiome ...

The gastrointestinal microbiota and its role in oncogenesis
Publication date: Available online 5 September 2017 Source:Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology Author(s): S.Y. Lam, J. Yu, S.H. Wong, M.P. Peppelenbosch, G.M. Fuhler Advances in research techniques have made it possible to map the microbial communities in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, where the majority of bacteria in the human body reside. Disturbances in these communities are referred to as dysbiosis and have been associated with GI cancers. Although dysbiosis is observed in several GI malignancies, the specific role of these changes has not been understood to the extent of Helicobacter p...

NAFLD, Helicobacter species and the intestinal microbiome
Publication date: Available online 5 September 2017 Source:Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology Author(s): Natalia Castaño-Rodríguez, Hazel M. Mitchell, Nadeem O. Kaakoush Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most common chronic liver disease worldwide. It is well-accepted that gut dysbiosis is associated with NAFLD, however, there is some conflicting evidence regarding the nature of these alterations. Infection with Helicobacter species, mainly H. pylori, has also been associated with increased NAFLD risk, however, some studies have failed to reproduce this finding. Further...

Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)
Publication date: Available online 6 July 2017 Source:Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology Author(s): Lorenzo Fuccio, Thierry Ponchon Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an interventional procedure for en-bloc resection of gastrointestinal lesions. ESD is a challenging and can involve a reasonable degree of risk, therefore case selection is of crucial importance, especially in the colo-rectum. This procedure should be mainly used for dissection of lesions when there is a high suspicion of superficial malignant invasion; several classifications have been proposed in order to better identify l...
