Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
SPECIFIC AIMS
1. To determine the frequencies and relative proportions for specific bacteria or bacteria phyla in children with FD in both duodenal mucosal specimens and stool samples.
2. To determine if the frequencies or proportions of specific bacteria or bacteria phyla differ between children with and without PDS.
3. To determine bi-variate correlations between bacteria/phyla frequency, bacteria/ phyla proportion, anxiety scores, and mucosal biomarkers, respectively.
