“…Accordingly, it is now recognized that a healthy brain–gut axis is key for emotional and affective stability, adequate responses to stress, and visceral pain modulation [ 37 ]. In fact, the increased awareness about the importance of the brain–gut interaction in gastrointestinal disorders has even given rise to the field of psychogastroenterology [ 38 , 39 ]. Thus, this review also briefly describes the effects that coffee, its by-products and its components have on the brain–gut axis and their possible role in this area.…”

Effects of Coffee and Its Components on the Gastrointestinal Tract and the Brain–Gut Axis

Coffee is one of the most popular beverages consumed worldwide. Roasted coffee is a complex mixture of thousands of bioactive compounds, and some of them have numerous potential health-promoting properties that have been extensively studied in the cardiovascular and central nervous systems, with relatively much less attention given to other body systems, such as the gastrointestinal tract and its particular connection with the brain, known as the brain–gut axis. This narrative review provides an overview of the effect of coffee brew; its by-products; and its components on the gastrointestinal mucosa (mainly involved in permeability, secretion, and proliferation), the neural and non-neural components of the gut wall responsible for its motor function, and the brain–gut axis. Despite in vitro, in vivo, and epidemiological studies having shown that coffee may exert multiple effects on the digestive tract, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiproliferative effects on the mucosa, and pro-motility effects on the external muscle layers, much is still surprisingly unknown. Further studies are needed to understand the mechanisms of action of certain health-promoting properties of coffee on the gastrointestinal tract and to transfer this knowledge to the industry to develop functional foods to improve the gastrointestinal and brain–gut axis health.

“…Isolation policies enforced during the CoViD-19 pandemic altered the way families sought and received support from their extended family members. The closure of health care facilities caused an imbalance in the family dynamic in charge of supporting the child in need [8]. Taken together, the absence of emotional support for parents resulted in an increase in their stress levels, which in turn negatively impacted the socialemotional development of the child [8,20].…”

“…Before the CoViD-19 pandemic, 43% of children less than 5 years old were at risk of not achieving their developmental potential. Evidence shows this percentage has increased [7] in the aftermath of the pandemic, and that individualized approaches to aiding a child's specific challenges can help recover the social-emotional and communicative delays in the afflicted children [8]. EI comes into play when addressing these challenges because young children tend to exhibit greater neuroplasticity, underlying their ability to learn.…”

Age-appropriate development of social and emotional skills is challenging to a child under standard conditions. The CoVID-19 pandemic has likely influenced the development of social, emotional, and communicative skills. Factors like prolonged lockdowns, restricted peer interactions, and mandatory mask-wearing may have hindered children's ability to learn facial expressions and nonverbal cues. The research evidence discussed in this paper confirms that proposition, and examines in further depth the potential impact of the CoViD-19 pandemic. We also discuss groundwork evidence-based early intervention (EI) practices designed to mitigate the negative effects these unprecedented circumstances may have led to, and how tele-medicine alternatives and Artificial intelligence (AI) can expedite interventional childhood plans. The role of bioinformatics is vital in the compilation and analysis of the vast research in this piece related to CoViD-19, serving as a profound search tool for future research endeavors focused on understanding the long term effects of the pandemic.

“…We speculated the children with chronic respiratory disease, such as PCD, are more accustomed to care, hygienic measures and to staying at home as a protective factor for their illness. They may be better able to employ strategies to cope the stressful conditions than the healthy population and paradoxically affect their parents' levels of psychological well-being [30,31].…”

Pre-existing chronic disease consisted of a highly vulnerable condition during the COVID-19 outbreak. The aim of this prospective longitudinal study is to investigate the long-term impact on psychological well-being of a cohort of PCD patients from an Italian center compared to healthy subjects. The Psychological General Well-Being Index and Parenting Stress Index-Short questionnaires were filled out by PCD patients and their parents, respectively, in May 2021 and in May 2022. The percentages of PCD patients and their parents showed not significant difference in the different categories of distress level compared to healthy controls. The psychological well-being and parental stress of PCD population did not get worse during two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, unlike healthy subjects. The impairment expressed in areas of 'depression', 'self-control', 'general health' and vitality' was higher in the control group than in PCD patients, one year after the onset of COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic did not have a negative impact on psychological well-being of PCD patients and their parents. These data could be explained by the constant elevated psychological distress with the ability to employ strategies to cope the stressful conditions, together an early vaccination campaign in PCD population.
