Article Abstract
Impulse control disorders (ICDs) are a debilitating non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), often associated with dopaminergic therapy. However, their occurrence in some patients but not others suggests additional biological mechanisms, including the gut microbiome. In this study, we analyzed 191 PD patients (14 with ICDs, 177 without) using 16S rRNA gene sequencing to explore the association between gut microbiota and ICDs. No significant differences were observed in alpha or beta diversity between groups, but several bacterial taxa showed differential abundances. Notably, and were enriched in ICD patients. Functional pathway analysis revealed differences in metabolic pathways, including enrichment of and in the ICD group. These findings suggest that specific gut microbial taxa and their associated metabolic functions may contribute to ICDs in PD, highlighting a potential non-dopaminergic mechanism and opening new avenues for microbiome-targeted intervention.

EVOLVING TRENDS AND EMERGING THEMES IN GUT MICROBIOTA RESEARCH: A COMPREHENSIVE BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS (2015-2024).

The Japanese Society of Internal Medicine, Editorial Department, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: This study aims to analyze research trends and emerging insights into gut microbiota studies from 2015 to 2024 through bibliometric analysis techniques. By examining bibliographic data from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection, it seeks to identify key research topics, evolving themes, and significant shifts in gut microbiota research. The study employs co-occurrence analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), and burst detection analysis to uncover latent patterns and the development trajectory of this rapidly expanding field.

Background And Aims: While this strategy is frequently used for other biologics, real-world evidence on subcutaneous (SC) vedolizumab (VDZ) dose intensification in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is lacking. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of SC VDZ intensification.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study in 25 centers including all patients with active ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) (defined by PRO2), and incomplete or loss of response to SC VDZ 108mg EOW when the drug was intensified.
The contribution of the brain-gut-microbiome axis to intergenerational abnormalities in a rat model of perioperative neurocognitive disorder.

Department of Anesthesiology, University of Florida College of Medicine, Gainesville, Florida.
Background: The brain-gut-microbiome (BGM) axis is a communication network through which the brain and gastrointestinal microbiota interact via neural, hormonal, immune, and gene expression mechanisms. Gut microbiota dysbiosis is thought to contribute to neurocognitive disorders, including perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PND), and to various metabolic abnormalities. Recently, we reported that sevoflurane induces neurocognitive deficits in exposed rats as well as their future offspring, with male offspring being particularly affected (intergenerational PND).

Purpose Of Review: This review aims to characterize the known cardiovascular (CV) manifestations associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and the underlying mechanisms driving these associations.
Recent Findings: Gut dysbiosis, a hallmark of patients with IBD, can result in both local and systemic inflammation, thereby potentially increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the IBD population. Micronutrient deficiencies, anemia, and sarcopenia independently increase the risk of CVD and are frequent comorbidities of patients with IBD.
