“…While the study utilized a 4-week run-in period to act as the control, the intervention period was a single-arm design and lacked a placebo. Slippery elm has received increased interest, but trials examining its singular effect are lacking, with Ahuja and Ahuja highlighting it as a promising ingredient due to its raft-forming potential and therefore its ability to ameliorate GERD symptoms, but stating that this requires further investigation [ 74 ].…”

Nutritional ingredients, including various fibers, herbs, and botanicals, have been historically used for various ailments. Their enduring appeal is predicated on the desire both for more natural approaches to health and to mitigate potential side effects of more mainstream treatments. Their use in individuals experiencing upper gastrointestinal (GI) complaints is of particular interest in the scientific space as well as the consumer market but requires review to better understand their potential effectiveness. The aim of this paper is to review the published scientific literature on nutritional ingredients for the management of upper GI complaints. We selected nutritional ingredients on the basis of mentions within the published literature and familiarity with recurrent components of consumer products currently marketed. A predefined literature search was conducted in Embase, Medline, Derwent drug file, ToXfile, and PubMed databases with specific nutritional ingredients and search terms related to upper GI health along with a manual search for each ingredient. Of our literature search, 16 human clinical studies including nine ingredients met our inclusion criteria and were assessed in this review. Products of interest within these studies subsumed the categories of botanicals, including fiber and combinations, and non-botanical extracts. Although there are a few ingredients with robust scientific evidence, such as ginger and a combination of peppermint and caraway oil, there are others, such as melatonin and marine alginate, with moderate evidence, and still others with limited scientific substantiation, such as galactomannan, fenugreek, and zinc-l-carnosine. Importantly, the paucity of high-quality data for the majority of the ingredients analyzed herein suggests ample opportunity for further study. In particular, trials with appropriate controls examining dose–response using standardized extracts and testing for specific benefits would yield precise and effective data to aid those with upper GI symptoms and conditions.

“…This can include patients with blind intestinal loops, chronic opioid use, diabetic enteropathy, hypochlorhydria from chronic proton pump inhibitor use, or reduced hepatobiliary secretions from pancreatic dysfunction. 30 Symptoms include malabsorption, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, constipation, excessive gas, and bloating. 31 Two meta-analyses reported SIBO in 38.6% of patients with chronic pancreatitis (in 2019) and 36% (in 2016).…”

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is a complex condition that disrupts normal digestion and absorption. Patients with EPI may suffer from mild to debilitating malabsorption with a constellation of symptoms that can have a significant effect on quality of life and nutrition status. Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) is effective and safe to treat EPI and is the standard of care for this condition. A wide variety and various forms of these products exist, as well as numerous guidelines and recommendations. Obtaining PERT for patients can oftentimes be cost prohibitive. Determining the presence and extent of EPI can be challenging and patient specific, making it difficult for practitioners. This narrative review will explore these issues, as well as several disease states potentially affected by EPI, and review current management strategies.

“…In vitro plant propagation processes consist mainly of three steps: initiation and multiplication of shoot buds, elongation of shoot buds into shoots and in vitro and ex vitro rooting of shoots in order to form plantlets. The method has many advantages such as propagation is quick, rapid and plants obtained are true to nature, cultures can be started from very small segments of the mother plants, propagation is possible in most species throughout the year, greater control over chemical, physical and environmental factors and possibilities of rejuvenation from mature tissues [19]. IAA + 2.0 mgl -1 BAP + 2.0 mgl -1 KIN for the selected six cultivars was observed to be the highest in the cultivar, CoP16437 followed by BO153, CoP18437, CoP11437, CoP11438 and the lowest in the cultivar CoP9301 at 15, 30, 45 and 60 days interval (Fig.…”

With the aim to assess the regenerative response of six mid late sugarcane clones under in vitro conditions with four different types of growth media and the research was conducted in Sugarcane Hi-tech Laboratory, SRI, DRPCAU, Pusa, Bihar. Shoot apex explant culture of these cultivars on media M1 (MS basal) and M2 (ms basal + 0.5 mgl1 IAA + 0.5 mgl1 + 0.5mgl1 KIN) suggested no definite role of medium on establishment of cultures. Shoot apex culture of the six selected clones on media M3 (MS basal +0.1 mgl1 IAA + 2.0 mgl1 BAP + 1.0 mgl1 KIN) and M4 (MS basal +0.1 mgl1 IAA + 2.0 mgl1 BAP + 1.0 mgl1 KIN) resulted in shoot proliferation and elongation. A genotypic difference for all tissue culture responses were found in the six selected cultivars. CoP16437 has the best response among these six cultivars, while CoP9301 has the lowest response.
