Persistent systemic microbial translocation, inflammation, and intestinal damage during Clostridioides difficile infection [PDF]

, 2020
Background. Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) might be complicated by the development of nosocomial bloodstream infection (n-BSI). Based on the hypothesis that alteration of the normal gut integrity is present during CDI, we evaluated markers of ...

Homeostasis of Gut Microbiota Protects against Susceptibility to Fungal Pneumonia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fungal pneumonia induces inflammation, shown by heightened IL‐6, IL‐1β, TNF‐α levels and a growth in Staphylococcus in the alveolar flora. The gut microbiota, acting through the gut‐lung axis via blood, impacts fungal pneumonia susceptibility by altering lung metabolism and inflammatory responses.

Photobiomodulation Strengthens Muscles via Its Dual Functions in Gut Microbiota

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Non‐invasive photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) enhances muscle endurance by rewiring the gut‐muscle axis. PBMT preserves gut epithelial integrity and enriches beneficial anaerobes, driving metabolites such as butyrate, spermidine, and L‐carnitine that supercharge mitochondrial energy in skeletal muscles.

Impact of Low Preoperative Prognostic Immune Nutritional Index on Survival and Postoperative Infectious Complications in Patients With Colorectal Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The prognostic immune nutritional index (PINI) is increasingly recognized for its potential clinical utility. However, multifaceted evaluations of its ability to predict oncological outcomes in colorectal cancer (CRC) and its association with postoperative infectious complications remain limited.
