Interrelationship Between Psychological Stress and Gastrointestinal Physiology: Role of the Gut–Brain Axis
Abstract: The relationship between stress and gut microbiome is a critical area of medical research underscoring the relativity and impact of psychological and emotional states on gastrointestinal (GI) health. This paper investigates the intricate relationship between stress and digestive health by analysing the influence of stress hormones, gut–brain interactions, and psychosocial determinants. Both acute and long-standing stress responses may disrupt normal gastrointestinal activity, affecting motility, secretion, intestinal microbiota, and overall digestive …

Mind-Gut Connection: The Psychosomatic Effects of Stress and Emotions on Digestive System
Abstract: Stress, understood as an immediate disruption to bodily equilibrium, triggers an adaptive or allostatic response that impacts gastrointestinal function both in the short and long term. The enteric nervous system communicates in both directions with the brain through parasympathetic and sympathetic pathways, collectively forming what is known as the brain-gut axis. Unani scholars describe stress as a response to the loss of something valuable, such as an opportunity, a desired …

Role of Gastric Receptors in Gastrointestinal Disorder
Abstract: The established and potential roles of cholecystokinin1 and cholecystokinin2 receptors in gastrointestinal and metabolic diseases are analyzed, along with findings from human studies involving agonists and antagonists. While there is considerable evidence implicating cholecystokinin1R in various diseases such as pancreatic disorders, motility disorders, tumor growth, satiety regulation, and cholecystokinin-deficient states, its specific role in these conditions remains ambiguous. Conversely, the role of cholecystokinin2R in physiological (e.g., atrophic gastritis) and pathological …

Controlled Drug Delivery of Furosemides Using Floating Tablet System
Abstract: The development of gastroretentive drug delivery systems (GRDDS) has gained interest, particularly for drugs like furosemide with narrow absorption windows in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Furosemide, a commonly used diuretic, faces challenges due to limited bioavailability and rapid elimination, requiring frequent dosing and affecting patient compliance. This review highlights the formulation and evaluation of floating furosemide tablets as an effective strategy to enhance therapeutic efficacy. Floating tablets allow prolonged …
