[Fecal microbiota transplantation: from the evidence to the realty of the field].

In clinical practice, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been established as an unparalleled therapy to date for multiple recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections (CDI). The implementation of the FMT in practice requires a significant investment to meet legal, security and financial requirements. Research on the microbiota is booming and multiple investigations on FMT in indications other than CDI are ongoing.

Predictors of mortality of influenza virus infections in a Swiss Hospital during four influenza seasons: Role of quick sequential organ failure assessment.

Background: Influenza infections have been associated with high morbidity. The aims were to determine predictors of mortality among patients with influenza infections and to ascertain the role of quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) in predicting poor outcomes.

Methods: All adult patients with influenza infection at the Hospital of Jura, Switzerland during four influenza seasons (2014/15 to 2017/18) were included.

Dance therapy combined with patient education improves quality of life of persons with obesity: A pilot feasibility study for a randomised controlled trial.

Objective: To assess the effect of dance therapy combined with patient education on quality of life, functional capacity (lower limb power and endurance) and physical activity level in obese individuals.

Methods: Thirty-three obese patients were randomised to a control group (structured patient education ambulatory program), and 34 to an intervention group (structured patient education ambulatory program combined with weekly sessions of dance therapy). Patients' quality of life, physical function and physical activity level were assessed at baseline and after 16 weeks.
