A Complex Connection Between the Diversity of Human Gastric Mucin O-Glycans, Helicobacter pylori Binding, Helicobacter Infection and Fucosylation.

Helicobacter pylori colonizes the stomach of half of the human population. Most H. pylori are located in the mucus layer, which is mainly comprised by glycosylated mucins.

Species Avidity to Colonic Mucins from Pigs with and without Brachyspira hyodysenteriae Infection Is Species Specific and Varies between Strains.

Brachyspira hyodysenteriae is commonly associated with swine dysentery (SD), a disease that has an economic impact on the swine industry. B. hyodysenteriae infection results in changes to the colonic mucus niche with massive mucus induction, which substantially increases the number of B.

Virtual reality gaming in rehabilitation after stroke - user experiences and perceptions.

Purpose: The present study explored participants' experiences with and perceptions of using fully immersive head-mounted virtual reality (VR) gaming as rehabilitation after stroke.

Methods: Four men and three women (median age 64 years) with chronic stroke and varying motor impairment (mild to severe) were interviewed after 10 weeks of VR training on the commercial HTC Vive system, focusing on the upper extremities. Inductive qualitative thematic analysis was performed.

Commercial head-mounted display virtual reality for upper extremity rehabilitation in chronic stroke: a single-case design study.

Background: Rehabilitation is crucial for maximizing recovery after stroke. Rehabilitation activities that are fun and rewarding by themselves can be more effective than those who are not. Gamification with virtual reality (VR) exploits this principle.

Helicobacter suis infection alters glycosylation and decreases the pathogen growth inhibiting effect and binding avidity of gastric mucins.

Helicobacter suis is the most prevalent non-Helicobacter pylori Helicobacter species in the human stomach and is associated with chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. H. suis colonizes the gastric mucosa of 60-95% of pigs at slaughter age, and is associated with chronic gastritis, decreased weight gain, and ulcers.
