Cardiometabolic benefits of a non-industrialized-type diet are linked to gut microbiome modulation.

Industrialization adversely affects the gut microbiome and predisposes individuals to chronic non-communicable diseases. We tested a microbiome restoration strategy comprising a diet that recapitulated key characteristics of non-industrialized dietary patterns (restore diet) and a bacterium rarely found in industrialized microbiomes (Limosilactobacillus reuteri) in a randomized controlled feeding trial in healthy Canadian adults. The restore diet, despite reducing gut microbiome diversity, enhanced the persistence of L.

Elucidating the impact of low DO on enhanced biological phosphorus removal under aerobic and anoxic conditions at full-scale.

Research on low dissolved oxygen (DO) enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) at full-scale remains limited, a knowledge gap this study aims to fill by investigating EBPR performance and microbial community shifts at a Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) transitioning to low DO conditions. Average DO concentrations decreased from 2.62 mg O/L in 2019 to 0.

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery in Immediate DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction: Reducing Length of Stay and Opioid Use.

To improve patient outcomes amid reduced healthcare resources during the COVID-19 pandemic, a single Canadian cancer center implemented an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol for autologous DIEP flap breast reconstruction. This retrospective cohort study included 100 consecutive patients undergoing microsurgical breast reconstruction with DIEP flaps using the ERAS protocol and 100 patients using a standard protocol. Primary outcomes were the hospital length of stay and opioid use.

Predicting rainfall using machine learning, deep learning, and time series models across an altitudinal gradient in the North-Western Himalayas.

Predicting rainfall is a challenging and critical task due to its significant impact on society. Timely and accurate predictions are essential for minimizing human and financial losses. The dependence of approximately 60% of agricultural land in India on monsoon rainfall implies the crucial nature of accurate rainfall prediction.
