From the intestinal flora to the microbiome
Revista Española de Enfermedades Digestivas, 2017 In this article, the history of the microbiota is reviewed and the related concepts of the microbiota, microbiome, metagenome, pathobiont, dysbiosis, holobiont, phylotype and enterotype are defined. The most precise and current knowledge about the microbiota is presented and the metabolic, nutritional and immunomodulatory functions are reviewed.

Seasonal differences in intestinal flora are related to rats’ intestinal water metabolism
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Many studies have reported obvious seasonal differences in the intestinal flora of rats, and this stable distribution of the seasonal flora helps in maintaining the normal physiological function of the host.

Postprandial morphological response of the intestinal epithelium of the Burmese python (Python molurus) [PDF]
Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol 141 (2005) 280-291, 2006 The postprandial morphological changes of the intestinal epithelium of Burmese pythons were examined using fasting pythons and at eight time points after feeding. In fasting pythons, tightly packed enterocytes possess very short microvilli and are arranged in a pseudostratified fashion.

Intestinal Parasites Classification Using Deep Belief Networks [PDF]
, 2021 Currently, approximately $4$ billion people are infected by intestinal parasites worldwide. Diseases caused by such infections constitute a public health problem in most tropical countries, leading to physical and mental disorders, and even death to children and immunodeficient individuals.

Intestinal Microecology in Pediatric Surgery-Related Gastrointestinal Diseases Current Insights and Future Perspectives [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Intestinal microecology is established from birth and is constantly changing until homeostasis is reached. Intestinal microecology is involved in the immune inflammatory response of the intestine and regulates the intestinal barrier function. The imbalance of intestinal microecology is closely related to the occurrence and development of digestive ...

The intestinal flora is required to support antibody responses to systemic immunization in infant and germ free mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The presence of a complex and diverse intestinal flora is functionally important for regulating intestinal mucosal immune responses. However, the extent to which a balanced intestinal flora regulates systemic immune responses is still being defined.

Abdominal synthetic CT reconstruction with intensity projection prior for MRI-only adaptive radiotherapy [PDF]
, 2021 An MRI-only adaptive radiotherapy (ART) workflow is desirable for managing interfractional changes in anatomy, but producing synthetic CT (sCT) data through paired data-driven deep learning (DL) for abdominal dose calculations remains a challenge due to the highly variable presence of intestinal gas.
