Article Synopsis
- Crohn's disease (CD) causes chronic inflammation in the intestines, and diet plays a crucial role in shaping the gut microbiome, which might impact CD symptoms.
- A study investigated how a high-fiber, low-fat diet (Mi-IBD) affects gut microbiome function in CD patients over 8 weeks, comparing those who received diet counseling and catered meals.
- The results showed that the Mi-IBD diet improved carbohydrate metabolism in CD patients, with notable differences in microbial function based on whether the disease affected the ileum or colon, benefiting those with colonic involvement the most.
Arterial hypertension is a highly prevalent chronic disease worldwide, with several etiologies and treatments that may eventually have side effects or result in patients developing tolerance.

BiFO is formed by porous agglomerates with sizes of 5-11 μm, while the PS nano/microparticles have sizes in the range of 70-11000 nm. X-ray diffraction studies demonstrated that the BiFO microparticles are composed of BiFeO/BiFeO (the content of BiFeO is ≈ 8.
