The placebo effect is the therapeutic result derived from the use of a drug, device or inert physical treatment, with which an improvement or change in a subjective malaise or illness is achieved. It is believed that the mechanism of the placebo effect is related to changes of the central nervous system and that, consequently, there are changes at the sensory level and in bodily functions. In the process, an expectation of benefit is generated, although there is no specific effect that changes a specific disorder or, at least, a scientific theory that explains its action. In functional gastrointestinal disorders, the placebo effect is sig-nificant, and it is reported to be present in 6-72% of patients with functional dyspepsia and 0-84% with irritable bowel syndrome. Therefore, it is necessary to have a scientific study of the placebo effect and related effects such as nocebo or precebo. It is important to determine if each of these factors are caused by psychological or neurobiological factors, or if this is a methodological variant that affects the outcome of clinical studies, causing biases in the interpretation of them. This review analyzes the literature and evaluates the psychological and neurobiological mechanisms of the placebo-analgesia, the complexity of the interaction and its evaluation, since the term placebo is not limited to the use of inert substances.

Breath tests (BTs) have long been used as a valuable diagnostic tool in medicine. Their longevity in the diagnostic realm is likely due to the following advantages: they are noninvasive, easy to perform, and capable of repetitive testing. BTs have a variety of indications and have been used to explore the pathophysiology of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs). Hydrogen and methane BTs are often used to evaluate FGIDs but have several caveats to its methodology and interpretation. The recent release of the North American consensus guidelines provides uniformity to these BTs in attempts to provide standardization. This review explores the role of methane/hydrogen and also gastric emptying carbon-13 BTs in FGIDs, specifically irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), IBS-like symptoms, and functional dyspepsia. We review the role of BTs in FGIDs and how they not only provide diagnostic information, but the pathophysiologic mechanisms that drive these disorders. This, ultimately, can provide guided treatment for these disorders that at times can be difficult to manage.

The motor esophageal disorders are categorized according to the Chicago Classification 3.0 into major and minor disorders of peristalsis; and those with outflow obstruction; divided in achalasia and esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO). The present study has as an objective to revise the types of EGJOO, their etiology, clinical manifestations, pathophysiology, diagnostic tests and different treatment options. EGJOO comprises a heterogeneous group of patients characterized by manometric findings of an alteration in the EGJ, with the presence of intact or weak peristalsis of the esophageal body, in such a way that the criteria for achalasia are not met. It can be caused not only by functional pathology (idiopathic) but structural (secondary) pathology. Dysphagia is the most common symptom, followed by chest pain, regurgitation and heartburn. The finding of EGJOO in the absence of secondary etiology is accompanied by clinical uncertainty. Some seem to have an early stage of achalasia, while others have almost no obstructive symptoms and the finding of a high integrated relaxation pressure may be only an incidental finding without clinical implication or relevance. Differentiating secondary EGJOO is important because these patients will require a different management on many occasions compared to patients with primary or idiopathic EGJOO. Within the diagnostic armamentarium, we count with endoscopy, esophagogram and high-resolution manometry to identify underlying causes of incomplete relaxation of the EGJ. Endoscopic ultrasound and computed tomography can help us exclude infiltrative or inflammatory pathology. Although there are no curative treatments for EGJOO disorders, there are options for medical, endoscopic and surgical management. Individualized management of this condition is recommended, taking into account factors such as the symptoms of the patient and the severity of these symptoms, and the type of EGJOO (functional vs. structural), among others, remembering that in a significant percentage of patients there might be a spontaneous resolution of symptoms during follow-up.

El síndrome del intestino irritable (IBS) es un trastorno gastrointestinal multifactorial. Un episodio agudo de enteritis infecciosa es uno de los factores de riesgo más relevantes para el desarrollo de IBS, el denominado IBS post-infección IBS (PIIBS). En este artículo pretendemos revisar las publicaciones relevantes sobre la relación entre la gastroenteritis infecciosa y el consiguiente desarrollo de IBS, los factores de riesgo relacionados para el desarrollo de PIIBS, los principales patógenos involucrados, el papel de la microbiota y las terapias. Hemos tomado en consideración los últimos estudios indexados en Pubmed utilizando los siguientes ítems de búsqueda: «IBS», «PIIBS», «therapy of PIIBS». Los resultados de nuestra revisión mostraron que la incidencia de PIIBS oscila entre el 3 y el 30% después de la gastroenteritis infecciosa. Aunque la gastroenteritis por protozoos y parásitos se asoció con el desarrollo de PIIBS en hasta un 41.9% de los casos en comparación con solo un 13.8% después de infecciones bacterianas; se necesitan más estudios para confirmar estas cifras. No hay un tratamiento específico de PIIBS y los enfoques principales reflejan los utilizados para el IBS. En conclusión, la gastroenteritis por infección aguda es un factor de riesgo para el desarrollo de IBS de nueva aparición. Los estudios futuros deberían centrarse en los mecanismos implicados en esta conexión con el fin de desarrollar estrategias terapéuticas que prevengan la aparición de nuevos IBS.

La hipersensibilidad al reflujo, que Roma IV introdujo recientemente como un nuevo trastorno funcional del esófago, se define por la presencia de síntomas típicos de acidez estomacal en presencia de biopsias y endoscopia superior normales, exposición normal al ácido esofágico y una correlación positiva entre los síntomas del paciente y eventos de reflujo. La hipersensibilidad al reflujo es muy común y generalmente se superpone con otros trastornos gastrointestinales funcionales y a menudo se asocia con algún tipo de comorbilidad psicológica. La hipersensibilidad esofágica debida a la sensibilización periférica y/o central se ha considerado como el principal mecanismo subyacente para la aparición de síntomas en pacientes con hipersensibilidad al reflujo. Además, los factores centrales como el estrés, los trastornos psicológicos por hipervigilancia y la falta de sueño, desempeñan un papel importante en la mejora de la percepción de los estímulos intraesofágicos. El diagnóstico se realiza mediante el uso de una combinación de endoscopia con biopsias, pruebas de pH inalámbricas o pruebas de impedancia de pH y manometría esofágica de alta resolución. La hipersensibilidad al reflujo se trata con neuromoduladores, como los antidepresivos tricíclicos (ATC), los inhibidores selectivos de la recaptación de serotonina (ISRS). Sin embargo, en algunos casos, se debe considerar un mejor control del reflujo gastroesofágico ya sea médicamente, endoscópicamente o incluso quirúrgicamente. La intervención psicológica y la medicina alternativa/complementaria también deben ser asimismo consideradas. GastroLatam Rev. 2018;2:5-17)

La hipersensibilidad al reflujo es muy común y generalmente se superpone con otros trastornos gastrointestinales funcionales y a menudo se asocia con algún tipo de comorbilidad psicológica. La hipersensibilidad esofágica debida a la sensibilización periférica y/o central se ha considerado como el principal mecanismo subyacente para la aparición de síntomas en pacientes con hipersensibilidad al reflujo. Además, los factores centrales como el estrés, los trastornos psicológicos por hipervigilancia y la falta de sueño, desempeñan un papel importante en la mejora de la percepción de los estímulos intraesofágicos.

La enfermedad por reflujo gastroesofágico (ERGE) es un trastorno representativo de las enfermedades relacionadas con la acidez gastrointestinal. Para tratar estos trastornos se usan principalmente agentes antisecretores, como los inhibidores de la bomba de protones (IBP). Además de los IBP convencionales, recientemente se han desarrollado una nueva clase de agentes antiácidos, los bloqueadores de ácido competitivos de potasio (BAC-P), que actúan inhibiendo la H+/K+-ATPasa gástrica compitiendo con el K+. Por otro lado, el reflujo duodenogastroesofágico del ácido biliar es otro promotor de ERGE y sus complicaciones asociadas, como el esófago de Barrett y el adenocarcinoma esofágico inferior. Por lo tanto, los secuestradores de ácidos biliares pueden desempeñar un papel en este tipo de reflujo. En este documento se revisan las funciones de los BAC-P y los secuestradores de ácidos biliares en el tratamiento de la ERGE. Hay tres tipos de BAC-P, uno de los cuales es el vonoprazán, que tiene un potente efecto antisecretor de larga duración sobre la H+/K+-ATPasa debido a su alta acumulación y lenta eliminación en el estómago. El vonoprazán se usa actualmente en Japón para el tratamiento de la esofagitis por reflujo, induciendo un alto índice de cicatrización de la mucosa en pacientes con esofagitis por reflujo refractaria resistente a PPI, y en la protección del epitelio esofágico. Los secuestradores de ácidos biliares, como la colestiramina, se unen a los ácidos biliares y pueden ser fisiológicamente eficaces para reducir la exposición al ácido biliar de la superficie del epitelio esofágico. Mientras que actualmente los tres BAC-P tienen diferentes grados de eficacia en la terapia de la ERGE, la de los secuestradores de ácidos biliares no ha sido plenamente probada.
