Extractions: Patients with Chronic Gastrointestinal Disorders presents a multidimensional, multifaceted, and often puzzling, condition resulting from (a) the lack of resolutive therapy; (b) reduction in the quality of life to severe disability; (c) modification of the eating or defecatory behaviors; (d) detrimental effects on the nutritional status and social life. Not infrequently the uncertainty about the etiologic nature and the unpredictable time presentation of the disturbances negatively affect the psycological status as well as the patient-doctor interaction. This book, made with the contribution of the major world experts is a unique and comprehensive reference for the Chronic Gastrointestinal Disorders and offers general, and specific disorder-oriented, practical guidelines for the approach to the patient with such conditions.

Am J Med 2000;108:65-72. Reviewed by Randolph L. Pearson, MD Clinical question How effective are antidepressant medications in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome and nonulcer dyspepsia? Background Functional gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome and nonulcer dyspepsia are a difficult treatment problem for primary care physicians. They result in frequent referrals and are frustrating for both patients and their physicians. Because of their usefulness in other chronic painful conditions, antidepressants have been suggested as a therapeutic alternative. Population studied This meta-analysis included twelve studies of the use of antidepressant medications for the treatment of functional gastrointestinal disorders. Most only included adults, with a range of mean ages of 33 to 48 years. Study design and validity Articles were obtained through a MEDLINE, PsycLIT and EMBASE search covering 1966 through 1998. In addition, the authors searched the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register and Federal Research in Progress to identify unpublished research. Of 90 articles, twelve met their inclusion criteria. The quality of each study was formally evaluated using a standard instrument. In a meta-analysis, the validity of the study depends upon the validity of the individual studies, as well as the authors' ability to group the data in a reasonable fashion. Because in this case each study was listed in a table, we are able to assess the quality of each study independent of the meta-analysis.

Extractions: Investigators recruited 239 female patients from the university's gastroenterology clinic. All were seeking treatment for gastrointestinal disorders, such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). At the start of the 12-month study, the women filled out a series of questionnaires detailing their medical history. They were also interviewed in depth about their gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and any history of physical or sexual abuseboth types of traumatic events that have been linked to stomach problems. In addition, the patients were closely questioned about their coping style. For example, if their disease symptoms were to worsen, were they likely to deny the problem or attempt to actively solve it? How did they deal with chronic pain? By worrying that it would never end, for example? Over the course of the study, the participants periodically answered additional questionnaires designed to assess their level of psychological distress and quality of life. The development of new or altered symptoms were also recorded, as were the number of visits to doctors, clinics, and hospitals.
