Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As core group of the European Specialist Dietetic Network (ESDN) in Gastroenterology of the European Federation of Association (EFAD) we are pleased to invite you to actively contribute to the special issue on the nutritional management of diarrhea. We approach specialist dietitians, medical doctors, researchers and pharmacists to tackle this issue together from different perspectives. We aim at high quality, evidence-based and practice-oriented publications on dietary strategies to prevent or treat diarrhea in children or adults in a broad range of settings from otherwise healthy persons suffering from traveler diarrhea to severely ill patients in the intensive care environment, as well as the latest advances in the treatment of diarrhea associated conditions or diseases.

We are looking forward to starting this exciting journey with you.

Prof. Dr. Luzia Valentini

Rotaviruses are the main cause of acute diarrhea among young children worldwide with an increased frequency of reinfection. Several life style factors, such as dietary components, may influence such processes by affecting the outcome of the first rotavirus infection and therefore having a beneficial impact on the anti-rotavirus immune responses during any subsequent reinfections. The aim of this research was to develop a double-infection model in rat that mimics real-life clinical scenarios and would be useful in testing whether nutritional compounds can modulate the rotavirus-associated disease and immune response. Three experimental designs and a preventive dietary-like intervention were conducted in order to achieve a differential response in the double-infected animals compared to the single-infected ones and to study the potential action of a modulatory agent in early life. Diarrhea was only observed after the first infection, with a reduction of fecal pH and fever. After the second infection an increase in body temperature was also found. The immune response against the second infection was regulated by the preventive effect of the dietary-like intervention during the first infection in terms of specific antibodies and DTH. A rotavirus-double-infection rat model has been developed and is suitable for use in future preventive dietary intervention studies. Full article
