Objective: To evaluate South Asian (SA) and White (WH) inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) phenotypes, and to explore treatment approach variations between these cohorts in the UK using the IBD BioResource database.
Design: Differences between WH and SA IBD patients were analysed using demographic, phenotypic and outcome data. Drug utilisation patterns and surgical outcomes were assessed in propensity score-matched (PSM) cohorts with multivariable logistic regression, Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier analysis.
Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied how different environments can affect mice with a thyroid disease called Graves' disease, which can lead to eye problems.
- They found that the types of bacteria in the mice's intestines varied a lot between two research labs, which might change how the disease shows up.
- By comparing the bacteria from both labs, they discovered some differences in health and bacteria types that might explain why results weren't the same every time.
Background: There is emerging evidence for the presence of an extensive microbiota in human lungs. It is not known whether variations in the prevalence of species of microbiota in the lungs may have aetiological significance in respiratory conditions such as asthma. The aim of the study was to undertake semi-quantitative analysis of the differences in fungal species in pooled sputum samples from asthma patients and controls.
