Exploring the impact of microbial dysbiosis on ovarian cancer and the therapeutic potential of probiotics

VIEW, EarlyView.
Ovarian cancer has been linked to the microbiome as a potential environmental contributor, but how this association relates to tumor progression remains unclear. By comparing tumor and nontumor tissues, we identified a severity‐associated microbial and metabolic signature and showed that probiotics can partially restore immune balance and slow tumor ...

Changes in the microbiome and metabolome in captive red kangaroos (Osphranter rufus) affected by macropod progressive periodontal disease

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Macropod progressive periodontal disease (MPPD) is a severe oral condition frequently observed in captive macropods, particularly red kangaroos (Osphranter rufus), yet its underlying biological features remain poorly understood. In this exploratory descriptive study, we investigated oral and fecal microbiomes and metabolomic profiles in captive red ...

Antimicrobial‐Releasing Implant Substrates for Combating Oral Biofilms: An In Vitro Study

Clinical Oral Implants Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Peri‐implantitis, a biofilm‐associated inflammatory disease, significantly threatens dental implant longevity. Current treatments face limitations due to biofilm robustness. This study evaluates the efficacy of antimicrobial‐releasing titanium‐silica (Ti/SiO2) composite implant systems against multispecies oral ...

Fatal spinal cord compression in a horse with chronic actinobacterial cranial nuchal bursitis

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary A 14‐year‐old warmblood gelding was managed for waxing and waning cranial nuchal bursitis for 2 years. Intensive medical and surgical management was not curative, and the patient was subjected to euthanasia after becoming acutely recumbent. Ante‐mortem and post‐mortem next generation sequencing of bursal tissue and post‐mortem conventional PCR ...
