Recent research is unraveling pathophysiology beyond symptom-only definitions, focusing on the duodenum with innate immune disturbance (duodenal eosinophilia) and microbial disruption as possible cause. Management of functional dyspepsia includes making a secure diagnosis, treatment with first-line proton pump inhibitors (PPI), then tricyclic antidepressants, and careful choice of prokinetics. Herbal treatments (peppermint oil) and STW-5 have in this age group limited efficacy. Summary: Further studies are needed to define the prevalence of functional dyspepsia in the elderly and of prime importance, to exclude organic disease as a cause for symptoms of dyspepsia.]]> Wed 15 Dec 2021 16:10:33 AEDT ]]> The stomach-brain axis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18853 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:03:16 AEDT ]]> Hemolymph chemistry and histopathological changes in pacific oysters (crassostrea gigas) in response to low salinity stress https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19136 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:55:55 AEDT ]]> Duodenal eosinophilia and early satiety in functional dyspepsia: confirmation of a positive association in an Australian cohort https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20655 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:49:58 AEDT ]]> Familial association of laryngeal, lung, stomach and early-onset breast cancer https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5401 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:43:56 AEDT ]]>
