A history of repeated antibiotic usage leads to microbiota-dependent mucus defects
Gut MicrobesRecent evidence indicates that repeated antibiotic usage lowers microbial diversity and ultimately changes the gut microbiota community. However, the physiological effects of repeated – but not recent – antibiotic usage on microbiota-mediated mucosal ...

Allergology InternationalEosinophilic inflammation is primarily characterized by type 2 immune responses against parasitic organisms. In the contemporary human being especially in developed countries, eosinophilic inflammation is strongly associated with allergic/sterile inflammation, and constitutes an undesired immune reaction.

Final Report: Randomized Comparison of Two Internet-Supported Methods of Natural Family Planning [PDF]
, 2013 Studies consistently show that women want safe, effective, easy to use, and convenient methods of family planning (Arévalo,1997; Severy 2001). Although Natural Family Planning (NFP) methods are free of side effects, they are often ineffective and complex
