Salahi-Niri, A., Nabavi-Rad, A., Monaghan, T. M., Rokkas, T., Doulberis, M., Sadeghi, A., Zali, M. R., Yamaoka, Y., Tacconelli, E., & Yadegar, A. (in press). Global prevalence of Helicobacter pylori antibiotic resistance among children in the world health organization regions between 2000 and 2023: a systematic review and meta-analysis. BMC Medicine, 22(1), Article 598. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12916-024-03816-y

Background
Helicobacter pylori infection causes gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer. The infection is typically acquired in childhood and persists throughout life. The major impediment to successful therapy is antibiotic resistance. This sy...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Reveals Novel Insights into the Dual Mode of Action of Bisacodyl: A Randomized, Placebo-controlled Trial in Constipation (2024)
Journal Article
Aliyu, A., Dellschaft, N., Hoad, C., Williams, H., Gaudoin, E., Sulaiman, S., Crooks, C., Gowland, P., Alexia, A., Lange, R., Bois de Fer, B., Corsetti, M., Marciani, L., & Spiller, R. (2024). Magnetic Resonance Imaging Reveals Novel Insights into the Dual Mode of Action of Bisacodyl: A Randomized, Placebo-controlled Trial in Constipation. Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, https://doi.org/10.1002/cpt.3532

Bisacodyl is a widely used laxative that stimulates both motility and secretion. Our aim was to exploit the unique capabilities of MRI to define bisacodyl's mode of action. Two placebo-controlled cross-over trials were performed, one using a single d...

Novel Use of Manganese Gluconate as a Marker for Visualization of Tablet Dissolution in the Fed Human Stomach Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (2024)
Journal Article
Akbar, T., Gershkovich, P., Stamatopoulos, K., Gowland, P., Stolnik, S., Butler, J., & Marciani, L. (2025). Novel Use of Manganese Gluconate as a Marker for Visualization of Tablet Dissolution in the Fed Human Stomach Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Molecular Pharmaceutics, 22(1), 594-598. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.molpharmaceut.4c00854

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of dry or solid materials in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract requires the use of contrast agents to enhance visualisation of the dosage forms. In this study, we explore the novel use of manganese gluconate added to ta...

(2025). Combined magnetic resonance imaging, high resolution manometry and a randomised trial of bisacodyl versus hyoscine shows the significance of an enlarged colon in constipation: the RECLAIM study. Gut, 74(1), 35-44. https://doi.org/10.1136/gutjnl-2024-332755

Background
Colonic motility in constipation can be assessed non-invasively using MRI.

Objective
To compare MRI with high resolution colonic manometry (HRCM) for predicting treatment response.

Design
Part 1: 44 healthy volunteers (HV), 43... Read More about Combined magnetic resonance imaging, high resolution manometry and a randomised trial of bisacodyl versus hyoscine shows the significance of an enlarged colon in constipation: the RECLAIM study.

Smoking is a risk factor for autoimmune hepatitis: An English registry-based case-control study (2024)
Journal Article
Grønbæk, L., Omeife, H., Ban, L., Crooks, C. J., Card, T. R., Jepsen, P., & West, J. (2024). Smoking is a risk factor for autoimmune hepatitis: An English registry-based case-control study. Clinical Epidemiology, 16, 23-30. https://doi.org/10.2147/CLEP.S439219

Purpose: Smoking is a risk factor for some autoimmune diseases, but its association with autoimmune hepatitis remains unknown. We conducted a population-based matched case–control study to examine the association between tobacco smoking and the risk...

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 249(1), https://doi.org/10.3389/ebm.2024.10021

The presence of inhibitory immune cells and difficulty in generating activated effector T cells remain obstacles to development of effective cancer vaccines. We designed a vaccine regimen combining human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) pepti...
