Tracheal wash culture is not associated with bronchial infection, remodelling or inflammation in horses with asthma

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Antimicrobials are commonly prescribed for the treatment of equine asthma, despite limited evidence supporting their use. Tracheal wash (TW) bacterial culture results are known to influence antimicrobial prescription decisions. Objectives To determine whether a positive TW bacterial culture in horses with asthma is associated with ...

Potential of Health and Demographic Surveillance System in Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Microbiome Research

Frontiers in Public Health, 2017
Health and demographic surveillance system (HDSS) is a population-based health and vital event registration system that monitors demographic and health events in a geographically defined population at regular intervals.

The Airway Microbiome and Childhood Asthma – What Is the Link?

Acta Medica Academica, 2020
In this paper we propose to describe the available evidence from the literature on upper airway microbiome and its association with paediatric asthma and allergy. Recent advances in sequencing the bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) gene have enabled research into the complex communities of bacteria, known as the microbiome, that exist outside and ...

Insights into the Adolescent Cystic Fibrosis Airway Microbiome Using Shotgun Metagenomics. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited genetic disorder which manifests primarily in airway disease. Recent advances in molecular technologies have unearthed the diverse polymicrobial nature of the CF airway.

Syncing Health Timing: Exploring the Interplay of Circadian Rhythms, Obesity, and Cardiovascular Diseases

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Circadian rhythm disruption impairs metabolic regulation, appetite control, and vascular function, promoting obesity and cardiovascular diseases. Evidence highlights a bidirectional relationship where metabolic disorders further disturb circadian timing.

Cigarette Smoke Exposure Attenuates T2R‐Mediated Apoptosis in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Tobacco use is associated with worse outcomes in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Bitter taste receptor (T2R) activation induces apoptosis via calcium‐dependent signaling, and higher T2R expression correlates with increased survival in HNSCC.

Altered Middle Ear Microbiome in Children With Chronic Otitis Media With Effusion and Respiratory Illnesses

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
Chronic otitis media with effusion (COME) is a common childhood disease characterized by an accumulation of fluid behind the eardrum. COME often requires surgical intervention and can also lead to significant hearing loss and subsequent learning ...

Association between blenderized tube feeds and differential oropharynx, stomach, and stool microbiome signatures relative to conventional formula feeds in children fed via enteral tube: A cross‐sectional study

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Blenderized gastrostomy tube feeds are associated with reduced gastrointestinal symptoms. We hypothesize that patients receiving blenderized tube feeds, compared with standard formula, will have less gastric‐oropharyngeal microbial overlap, a possible biomarker of less gastroesophageal refluxate, and differences in beta diversity in

Laboratory contamination in airway microbiome studies [PDF]

3.2 Airway Cell Biology and Immunopathology, 2016
Background: Several ongoing studies on the low-biomass airway microbiome may be hampered with an hithereto unestimated contamination by laboratory processing. Methods: We collected negative control samples (NCS), oral wash (OW), small volume lavage, protected specimen brushes and bronchoalveolar lavage (PSB, PBAL) in 16 subjects with COPD and 8 ...
