Changes in colonic enteroendocrine cells of patients with irritable bowel syndrome following fecal microbiota transplantation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Objectives The aim was to investigate the effect of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) on colonic enteroendocrine cells densities in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Materials and methods This study ... -
Clinical response to fecal microbiota transplantation in patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome is associated with normalization of fecal microbiota composition and short-chain fatty acid levels
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Objectives: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may be associated with disturbances in gut microbiota composition and functions. We recently performed a study of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in diarrhea-predominant ... -
EUS-guided gastroenterostomy with a lumen apposing self-expandable metallic stent relieves gastric outlet obstruction–a Scandinavian case series
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: EUS-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) with lumen-apposing metallic stents (LAMS) in patients with gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) has proven to be an alternative to luminal stenting in the duodenum and surgical ... -
The fecal microbiota transplantation response differs between patients with severe and moderate irritable bowel symptoms
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Objectives: Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a promising intervention for patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The present study aimed to identify any differences in FMT response between patients with ... -
Increasing the transplant dose and repeating faecal microbiota transplantation results in the responses of male patients with IBS reaching those of females
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) performed with a proper protocol is a safe treatment for IBS that has high efficacy and durable effects. Females have been reported to respond better than males to FMT. ... -
The multidimensional fatigue inventory (MFI-20): psychometrical testing in a Norwegian sample of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)OBJECTIVES To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Norwegian version of the multidimensional fatigue inventory (MFI-20) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. METHODS Participants were recruited from nine ... -
Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency in diabetes is associated with autonomic dysfunction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Objectives: Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) is prevalent in diabetes. Pathophysiological theories imply autoimmune destruction, lack of trophic effects of insulin or impaired neuronal stimulation, but the relationship ... -
Pathophysiology of idiopathic gastroparesis and implications for therapy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Objectives: Idiopathic gastroparesis is a gastric motility disorder characterized by chronic upper gastrointestinal symptoms and delayed gastric emptying without an identifiable underlying condition. This review summarizes ... -
Patient-Reported Outcome Measures after Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography: A Prospective, Multicenter Study
(Journal article, 2013)Objective: While patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in ERCP are scarce, these reports are important for making improvements in quality of care. This study sought to document patient satisfaction and specifically ... -
Plasma levels of guanylins are reduced in patients with Crohn’s disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background: Guanylin (GN) and uroguanylin (UGN) are endogenous ligands for the intestinal receptor guanylate cyclase C (GC-C), an important regulator of intestinal fluid homeostasis. Gene expression and protein levels of ... -
Presence of interferon-λ 4, male gender, absent/mild steatosis and low viral load augment antibody levels to hepatitis C virus
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Objectives Despite recombinant interferon-λ 4 (IFN-λ4) demonstrating anti-viral activity in vitro and the ancestral functional gene (IFNL4) being conserved in all other primates, there has been speculation that IFN-λ4 may ...
