The report of the main topics highlighted at the event on 12 October 2022 related to Probiotics, Prebiotics and the Microbiome.
Gastroenterology
The findings of a new research suggest that, in some people, microbial ethanol can contribute to the development of NAFLD.
Gastroenterology, Oncology
The findings of a new research may help to develop improved diagnostic or treatment approaches for pancreatic cancer.
Gastroenterology, Pediatrics
A supplement of LGG would seem to favour the proliferation of Bifidobacterium and the improvement of clinical and immunological response to childhood cystic fibrosis.
Gastroenterology
Researchers found that the microbiota of the recipient, rather than that of the donor, determines the microbial mix resulting from a fecal transplant.
Oncology
New studies provide evidence that there may be fungi within tumors and could also help to diagnose certain types of cancer or predicting their course.
Pediatrics
Moraxella may be involved in protecting children from COVID-19 infections through its action on amino acid and lipid metabolism in the upper respiratory tract.
Gastroenterology
The findings of a new research could help to optimize fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) protocols and identify the most suitable donors for transplantation.
Gynecology, Infectiology
New research indicates that recurrent urinary tract infections and estrogen can shape the urogenital microbiota in ways that may protect against recurrent infections.
Gastroenterology
Faecal microbiota transplant appears to effectively improve both clinical parameters and bacterial balance in the liver, especially in thin individuals.
Gastroenterology, Neuroscience
The findings of a new research shed light on the mechanisms by which gut bacteria influence the development and progression of multiple sclerosis.
Gastroenterology, Neuroscience
The findings of a new research suggest that combining Lachnospiraceae antibody screening with blood tests could improve the diagnosis of ME/CFS.
Dermatology, Scientific research
Chris Callewaert (Research Foundation Flanders - FWO) discussed the research he conducted on the effect of pollutants on skin microbiome and micobiome.
Gastroenterology, Nutrition
The findings of a new study suggest that the interplay between diet, microbiota and intestinal immunity regulates obesity, diabetes and other metabolic conditions.
Gastroenterology, Oncology
A gut microbial metabolite called trimethylamine N-oxide, or TMAO, could improve immunotherapy success in pancreatic cancer.
Gastroenterology
The findings of a new research suggest that microbiota-based therapies can help improve clinical outcomes after organ transplants.
Gastroenterology
Researchers have developed a new technique that can identify which gut microbes have migrated from the gut to the blood.
Scientific research
A recent study shows that some bacterial strains are similar to the human host phylogeny, suggesting that they evolved alongside humans.
Cardiology, Endocrinology
The findings of a new study suggest that Bacteroides can metabolize cholesterol, thus helping to regulate its levels in the blood.
Neuroscience
Together with Prof. Ted Dinan (UCC Ireland), in this episode we discuss the link between gut, insomnia and anxiety.
