Biofeedback is a non-surgical treatment option for patients with pelvic floor symptoms, including faecal, flatus, urinary incontinence, obstructed defecation and evacuatory difficulties. A biofeedback therapist assesses the patient's pelvic floor muscle coordination and monitors their response to an inflated balloon acting as a simulated stool. Most patients attending the biofeedback clinic exhibit anorectal discoordination, which can be effectively corrected with rectal balloon expulsion exercise. Biofeedback therapy for pelvic floor dysynergic symptoms consists of biofeedback technique-guided pelvic floor relaxation, improving abdominal push effort, followed by simulated defecation and sensory training. This article discusses how to perform a rectal balloon expulsion test in a clinical setting by a trained therapist to improve clinical outcomes for pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms.

Objective The authors developed a survey to understand the barriers and facilitators that might be present in providing care for patients with microscopic colitis (MC) in existing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) nurse-led services. Methods A survey was developed using Google Forms to collect anonymous responses from IBD nurses across all four nations of the UK. Twitter and the IBD Royal College of Nurses IBD network Facebook page and email group were used to disseminate the survey. Analyses were carried out using descriptive statistics. Results Of the n=102, responses received showed that 89.2% (n=91) consider MC when they see patients with watery diarrhoea. No training had been received about MC by 58.8% (n=60) of the n=102, while 52% (n=53) of the same cohort felt they had enough knowledge/confidence to manage a patient diagnosed with microscopic colitis. Conclusions The survey results also indicate an interest among the IBD nursing community in MC and a desire to learn more about MC to support patients living with this condition.

Chlorella phenolic-rich extract has been studied due to its potential therapeutic effects on the gastrointestinal tract. In vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated that consumption of Chlorella phenolic-rich extract can modulate gut microbiota, reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. Several studies have shown that Chlorella supplementation may improve symptoms of gastrointestinal diseases, such as ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome, as well as reducing liver enzyme levels in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and H. pylori infection rates in children. However, further research should be conducted to fully understand the mechanisms of action and potential therapeutic benefits of Chlorella phenolic-rich extract in the gastrointestinal tract. Patients should consult with experts before taking Chlorella, so that they can be made aware of the potential side effects and any relevant mediation interactions. Overall, the use of Chlorella phenolic-rich extract is an innovative subject where there is a need for researchers to examine the potential treatment of various gastrointestinal conditions. Additional researchers are needed to fully evaluate its effectiveness and safety.
