Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Extensive microbial and functional diversity within the chicken cecal microbiome [PDF]

, 2014
Chickens are major source of food and protein worldwide. Feed conversion and the health of chickens relies on the largely unexplored complex microbial community that inhabits the chicken gut, including the ceca.

Association of Urinary pH With Overall Survival in Patients With Stage IV Cancer: A Single‐Center Retrospective Cohort Study

Cancer Nexus, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This single‐center retrospective cohort study evaluated whether, among patients with stage IV cancer who participated in a pragmatic “alkalization therapy”—defined as a low potential renal acid load diet plus oral sodium bicarbonate and/or potassium/sodium citrate—urinary pH was associated with long‐term survival.

Shared taxa but distinct communities: within-individual comparisons of oral, nasal, and urinary microbiomes in asymptomatic “healthy” females

Frontiers in Microbiomes
Although microbial community compositions vary throughout the healthy human body, some taxa can be found to reside in multiple anatomical sites. Moreover, some microbiota that have been found to be interconnected, e.g., the gastrointestinal tract and the

Ketogenic diet fails to mitigate seizures and neuroinflammatory responses in a mouse model of virus‐induced epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The ketogenic diet (KD) is a high‐fat, low‐carbohydrate intervention widely used to treat drug‐resistant epilepsy, thought to reduce seizures through a combination of metabolic, neuronal, and microbiota‐dependent mechanisms. Additionally, recent studies suggest that the anticonvulsant effects of KD require the gut microbiota, with ...

Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

Forage chemical composition drives early metabolic shifts in ponies fed different haylages

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Rapid changes between feeds can cause dysbiosis and colic in horses. The metabolic consequences of transitioning between haylages (HY) are currently unknown. Objectives To characterise urinary and faecal metabonomics in ponies transitioned between HY varying in botanical composition and physiological age and to evaluate the speed of

A multilevel perspective on MSH6‐associated Lynch syndrome: Integrating molecular, biological, and clinical insights

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract Lynch syndrome (LS) is the most common hereditary colorectal cancer syndrome, caused by a germline pathogenic variant in one of the mismatch repair (MMR) genes. Among these, MSH6‐associated LS represents a distinct subtype with unique molecular and clinical characteristics.

The Female Urinary Microbiome: a Comparison of Women with and without Urgency Urinary Incontinence

mBio, 2014
Bacterial DNA and live bacteria have been detected in human urine in the absence of clinical infection, challenging the prevailing dogma that urine is normally sterile.

Urinary and Faecal Amino‐Acids as Biomarkers for Colorectal Neoplasia in Lynch Syndrome—A Prospective Longitudinal Study

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Lynch syndrome, colonoscopy surveillance for colorectal cancer (CRC) is burdensome and post‐colonoscopy CRCs still occur. Unlike the faecal immunochemical test (FIT), gut metabolomic alterations including amino‐acids have shown potential as non‐invasive biomarkers for detecting both advanced and non‐advanced sporadic colorectal neoplasia ...
