Introduction: Intestinal failure-associated liver disease covers a spectrum of conditions from mild to end-stage disease. Currently, there are 9 diagnostic criteria divided to four categories: cholestasis, steatosis, fibrosis, and unclassified. Our aim was to evaluate the application of these criteria to patients with chronic severe liver disease in patients with intestinal failure.

Background: Endurance athletes require tailored nutrition strategies to optimize performance, recovery, and training adaptations. While traditional sports nutrition guidelines provide a foundational framework, individual variability in metabolic responses underscores the need for precision nutrition, informed by genetic, biological, and environmental factors. This scoping review evaluates the application of systems biology-driven sports nutrition for endurance athletes, focusing on 'omics' and wearable technologies.

The study investigated the methane production efficiency in a semi-continuous laboratory experiment with periodic feeding of wastewater sludge (WWS) as primary substrate and addition of whey (CW) and cow manure (CM). The short-term behavior of a real-scale anaerobic digester with WWS and the methane production improvements with different feeding mixtures of WWS, CW and CM were addressed. Gradual addition of CW to WWS (WWS:CW:CM = 70:20:0 to 70:55:0) increased the average daily methane production to 48.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to compare two preparation protocols for patients with Crohn's disease who ingested a patency capsule (PC) to assess its effectiveness in reducing failed PC rates.
  • The pro-motility group, which followed a specific diet and took medication, showed a significantly lower failed PC rate (12.0%) compared to the control group (24.7%).
  • Findings suggest that the pro-motility protocol not only enhances the success rate of the patency test but may also help minimize the risk of complications related to capsule retention.

This study aimed to compare the microbiome profiles of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC,  = 380) and colorectal adenomas (CRA,  = 110) against generally healthy participants ( = 2,461) from various studies. The overarching objective was to conduct a real-life experiment and develop a robust machine learning model applicable to the general population. A total of 2,951 stool samples underwent a comprehensive analysis using the in-house MetaBakery pipeline.
