Impact of Altering Gut Microbiota with Multinutrient Supplementation on Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
No full text§ Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neuropsychiatric condition, often characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. § Recent evidence suggests a potential link between gut microbiota composition and various neuropsychiatric disorders, including ADHD, through the gut-brain axis (GBA). § Literature review of studies published between 2017 and 2024 explores the influence of multinutrients on gut microbiota and its efficacy of treating the core symptoms of ADHD in children ages 6-12 years old. § Findings indicate that multinutrients alter gut microbiota and subsequently impact neuropsychiatric symptoms.https://commons.und.edu/pas-grad-posters/1339/thumbnail.jp
Oral NSAIDs vs. Topical Anesthetics for Pain Management During IUD Insertion: A More Effective Standard of Care
No full textAn intrauterine device (IUD) is a highly effective, long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) option for patients from menarche until menopause. Pain associated with IUD insertion remains a significant barrier to IUD insertion use. Unrelieved pain during the procedure may lead to serious complications, such as vasovagal shock and cardiac arrhythmias, which may negatively impact patient experience and adherence to contraceptive methods. Oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most recommended medication for pain management; however, IUD insertional pain is unrelated to prostaglandin synthesis which is the primary target of NSAIDs. This literature review is to compare the efficacy of oral NSAIDs and topical anesthetics in pain reduction during IUD insertion considering the differences in mechanism of action and clinical implications. A review of peer-reviewed studies was conducted for oral NSAIDs versus topical anesthetics, such as lidocaine and lidocaineprilocaine mixtures, throughout different steps of the procedure. A data search of PubMed and Embase was conducted utilizing keywords; 11 studies met final inclusion criteria. Results shows that oral NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen and naproxen, are not effective for acute procedural pain during IUD insertion but are effective in post-procedural pain management. Topical anesthetics show greater efficacy in pain reduction for acute procedural pain. Given the limited efficacy of NSAIDs and the targeted pain relief offered by topical anesthetics during IUD insertion, clinicians should prioritize the use of topical anesthetics to improve patient comfort, outcomes, and satisfaction.https://commons.und.edu/pas-grad-posters/1349/thumbnail.jp
Indigenous Gut Health
Get PDFIndigenous gut health is a critical but often overlooked determinant of overall well-being. Gut health encompasses digestion, nutrient absorption, immune function, and the balance of the microbiome. Indigenous communities face unique challenges related to geography, food access, and the legacy of colonization, all of which affect dietary diversity and microbiome health. Drawing from the Health Belief Model, this project proposes a culturally responsive, education-based intervention to increase awareness of fiber-rich diets and their role in preventing chronic disease. The intervention aims to address upstream factors such as food access and health literacy, particularly among Indigenous families. Traditional diets once supported diverse gut microbiota, but colonization and the adoption of processed foods have led to gut dysbiosis and related health conditions. The project’s goal is to improve long-term health outcomes by promoting dietary education, restoring traditional food practices, and empowering communities to make sustainable, informed nutritional choices
