Nearly 300 participants, several lines of research, one big question: what happens in the body of a person living with PTSD? Sharing the results of Ediens' two-year study on the gut microbiome, immune response, and psychological well-being.

On September 16–17, the Uzhhorod National University hosted an international scientific and practical conference "Synergy of Professions in Maintaining Community Health." The organizers included the university itself, the Medical Aid Charitable Foundation, and the Swiss Parasolka Association. The event included a satellite panel discussion dedicated to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a systemic condition of the body, with an emphasis on the connection between the int

The COVID-19 pandemic has become a kind of stress test for science of the human immune system. Millions of observations of the course of the disease have shown that the same virus in different people causes radically different consequences - from asymptomatic carriage to severe course. In search of an answer to the question "why so differently", researchers around the world have increasingly turned their attention not to the lungs or blood, but to the intestines.

The human body is a complex ecosystem, consisting not only of our own cells, but also of trillions of microorganisms that inhabit us. This invisible "superorgan" - the microbiome - directly affects our mood, immunity, metabolism and physiological state in general. Modern science proves that human health largely depends on various epigenetic factors, among which nutrition and physical activity occupy a key place.

A long-awaited trip, a change of climate, exotic cuisine and new experiences - all this sounds like the perfect vacation. However, for our gastrointestinal tract (GI) any trip often turns into a real stress test. Instead of enjoying the vacation, many travelers face the so-called "traveler's diarrhea", acute bloating (flatulence), abdominal pain or persistent constipation.

Every year, the medical and scientific community celebrates World Digestive Health Day to draw attention to the critical role of the gastrointestinal tract (GI) in our lives. For a long time, the digestive system was considered only as a mechanism for processing food, but today we know that it is the center of our immunity, metabolism and even mental health.

Motherhood is a period of enormous physiological, psychological and emotional stress. From the moment of pregnancy and childbirth to the daily care of the child, a woman's body works at the limit of its capabilities. Chronic fatigue, sleep disturbances, emotional burnout, digestive problems and weight fluctuations often become the "norm" of life for many mothers. However, modern biomedicine claims: the key to solving these problems lies not only in psychology or dietology, bu
