"Background: da tempo è nota l’associazione fra la presenza di disturbi gastroenterologici (GEL) ed epilessia (E),tuttavia è solo negli ultimi anni che sta emergendo in ambito scientifico l’interesse per l’associazione tra la presenza di un sintomatologia GEL e i disturbi pervasivi di sviluppo (DPS),i quali possono accompagnarsi in alcuni casi alla presenza di epilessia."

A more literal translation isn't correct here, it should be "gastrointestinal"

gastroenterological disorders

disturbi GEL = disturbi gastroenterologici (disturbi gastro-entero-logici) = gastroenterological disorders (GastroEnteroLogical Disorders)

neutral philgoddard : This is not a meaningful distinction. Gastroenterology is the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal disorders.

Thanks. gastro-entero-logical: concerned with diseases of digestive system. Cfr. gastroenterology, https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/gastroen... gastro-intestinal relating to stomach and intestine
neutral Emily Gilby : In English, "gastroenterology is a noun that refers to the medical specialty focused on the digestive tract. Gastrointestinal is an adjective, usually used to refer to the digestive tract as a whole." You wouldn't say "gastroenterological disorder"

Thanks Emily, ok. Please see also my *previous* explanation: "gastroenterology" (medicine area), "gastro-entero-logical", "gastro-intestinal" disease. Reference gastroenterological disorder: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27492916/
neutral JudyC : Same as Emily. You migjt see it but it's best to generally keep "-ology" words for "study of" (typical it--en problem ones are "patologia", "sintomatologia")

Thanks Judy, ok
