Book Description
This book offers a comprehensive and multi-faceted examination of gastrointestinal inflammations, discussing factors that impact gut health. The initial chapters establish a foundational understanding of gastrointestinal inflammations and the critical role of the gut microbiota. The book then delves into the complex pathophysiology and various risk factors associated with these conditions, offering insights into the latest diagnostic, screening, and prevention techniques. It explores the dynamic interactions between the gut and the brain as well as the biochemical interplays involving short-chain fatty acids, reactive oxygen species, and superoxide dismutases. Additionally, the book thoroughly discusses the impact of genetics on gastrointestinal health, the interactions between antibiotics and gut microbiota, and the pivotal role of the immune system in inflammation. It highlights advancements in diagnostic technologies and gut microbiota-based strategies, along with the use of nanoparticles in treatment. The book also examines the psychological aspects associated with gastrointestinal inflammations, emphasizing the importance of mental health for physical well-being. It assesses the potential of functional foods, various types of nanocarriers, and plant-based bioactives in managing gastrointestinal inflammations. As such, this book is primarily intended for researchers and students in the fields of gastroenterology and microbiology.Key Features: Provides an extensive overview of gastrointestinal inflammations, starting from the basic concepts of the gut microbiota to complex pathophysiological aspectsDelves into the latest advancements in diagnostic, screening, and prevention techniques, highlighting cutting-edge technologies and approaches in gastroenterologyExplores the role of the immune system and the impact of genetics and diet on gastrointestinal healthExamines use of probiotics, prebiotics, postbiotics, and various nanotechnology-based approaches for gastrointestinal inflammation managementEmphasis on the psychological factors associated with gastrointestinal inflammations
