Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Early nurse-initiated enteral nutrition and its impact on postoperative recovery and complication rates: a meta-analysis of surgical patient outcomes

Frontiers in Nutrition
BackgroundNutritional support after surgery is an essential part of recovery augmentation protocols, especially in high-risk surgical patients. Early enteral nutrition (EEN) within 24–48 h after surgery has been argued to enhance gastrointestinal ...

Complications of surgical treatment of cervical carcinoma

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1997
A total of 302 patients with stage Ib and IIa cervical carcinoma were submitted to radical hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy during the period from 1980 to 1994. The morbidity rate was 37.5% and the mortality rate 0.6%.

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Case Report: Unusual presentation and atypical course of a case of ureterocolic fistula after anterior resection for sigmoid cancer

Frontiers in Oncology
The ureterocolic fistula (UF) can be a rare but serious complication of abdomino-pelvic surgery, gynecological procedures, oncological or inflammatory conditions and, especially in colorectal surgery, it can be due to anastomotic leaks or iatrogenic ...

Structures of mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase reveal carrier‐domain translocation between catalytic sites

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to the ...

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Surgical Videos for Accident Analysis, Performance Improvement, and Complication Prevention

, 2011
Conventional audit of surgical records through review of surgical results provides useful knowledge but hardly helps identify the technical reasons lying behind specific outcomes or complications. Surgical teams not only need to know that a complication
