Antimicrobial resistance and use, and rates of hospitalization associated with bacterial infections, including sepsis [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
While the mechanisms and quantitative details are complex, few analysts would doubt that antibiotic use increases the prevalence of drug-resistant bacterial pathogens among all bacteria causing disease in a population. The causal connection between antibiotic use and the total incidence of severe bacterial infections, possibly mediated by antibiotic ...

DETCID: Detection of Elongated Touching Cells with Inhomogeneous Illumination using a Deep Adversarial Network [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Clostridioides difficile infection (C. diff) is the most common cause of death due to secondary infection in hospital patients in the United States. Detection of C. diff cells in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images is an important task to quantify the efficacy of the under-development treatments. However, detecting C.

Enhancing human gut health: Global innovations in dysbiosis management

iMeta, EarlyView.
The microbiota, comprising all the microorganisms within the body, plays a critical role in maintaining good health. Dysbiosis represents a condition resulting from an imbalance or alteration of the microbiota. This study comprehensively investigates the patent literature on dysbiosis over the past 20 years.

Probing the Geometry of Data with Diffusion Fréchet Functions [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
Many complex ecosystems, such as those formed by multiple microbial taxa, involve intricate interactions amongst various sub-communities. The most basic relationships are frequently modeled as co-occurrence networks in which the nodes represent the various players in the community and the weighted edges encode levels of interaction.

The influence of microbiome‐derived amino acids metabolites in shaping the glioma immunosuppressive microenvironment

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Left: The disruption of the balance between carcinogenic bacteria and probiotics mediated by antibiotics, protein, and glucose intake. Middle: The gut microbiota‐derived amino acids, primarily through tryptophan, tyrosine, arginine, and branched‐chain amino acid pathways, regulate glioma development via mechanisms such as AHR activation, metabolic ...

Health outcomes of statin users compared to non-users with Clostridium difficile infection [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is the most common cause of nosocomial diarrhea, and the primary cause of healthcare-associated infections in the United States. Statins have beneficial effects independent of their lipid-lowering effects;

Plant extracellular vesicles: A promising bionic medicine platform for disease treatment and drug delivery

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
We introduced the basic characterization and isolation methods of PEVs, reviewed the PEVs‐related articles pertaining to disease therapy and drug delivery system, and summarized the drug loading methods, storage techniques, and engineering modification strategies of the carrier, to establish a safer, more efficient and more affordable approach for ...

Topological Data Analysis of Clostridioides difficile Infection and Fecal Microbiota Transplantation [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Computational topologists recently developed a method, called persistent homology to analyze data presented in terms of similarity or dissimilarity. Indeed, persistent homology studies the evolution of topological features in terms of a single index, and is able to capture higher order features beyond the usual clustering techniques.
