Objective: Chronic migraine (CM) patients with medication overuse headache (MOH) were recently shown to be associated with leaky gut and inflammation. We aimed to investigate gut microbiota profiles of CM patients with MOH, and their correlations with inflammatory serum parameters, migraine food triggers, and comorbid anxiety and depression.
Materials And Methods: The study included women participants (32 CM patients with NSAID overuse headache, and 16 healthy non-headache sufferers).
Purpose: Studies on intestinal microbiota in acromegaly are scant. This study aimed to characterize the gut microbiome in patients with acromegaly.
Method: Stool samples were collected from 11 patients newly diagnosed with acromegaly and 12 healthy controls matched for body mass index (BMI) and age after three days on a standard diet.
Background: Capsular contracture is one of the most common complications after breast surgery involving silicone implants. The most likely cause of this condition is biofilm formation. In this study, the efficacy of local antibiotherapy against biofilm formation on implant surfaces was investigated.

We aimed to investigate whether chronic migraine (CM) patients with MOH have elevated lipopolysaccharide levels and inflammatory molecules in blood circulation.
Materials And Methods: The study included women participants (40 CM patients with NSAID overuse headache, 35 episodic migraine (EM) patients, and 20 healthy non-headache sufferers).
Background/aim: Ralstonia solanacearum is a very rare cause of infection in humans. There is no described nosocomial outbreak due to R. solanacearum so far.

Background: Capsular contracture remains a problem following breast implant surgery. Although impact of biofilm and implant surface on capsule formation has been demonstrated, interaction of microorganisms with different surface types has not been clarified yet. We aimed to compare the ability of biofilm formation of implants with different surfaces, under standard conditions and to demonstrate its impact on capsular contracture.

In this pilot study, we hypothesized that time-restricted feeding, which can be regarded as a type of intermittent fasting, may have a distinct effect on intestinal microbiota. Ramadan fasting is an excellent model to understand how time-restricted feeding affect the microbiota.

Conventional nanoparticle systems have not been successful for this goal. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the sequential release profiles of hybrid materials, combining nanoparticles, hydrogels and bone cement, for the treatment of arthroplasty infections.

Dietary habits, lifestyle, age, genetic predisposition of the host and use of antibiotics are effective on microbiota. The aim of our research was to carry out a quantitative comparison of Bifidobacterium spp, Bacteroides fragilis, Lactobacillus spp, Akkermansia mucinophilia and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, important bacterial microbiota species, before and after antibiotic therapy treated with tetracycline and metronidazole in patients who are diagnosed as positive for Helicobacter pylori (HP), and to determine the effects of antibiotic use on the microbiota.

Herein we aimed to determine the fecal microbiota, endotoxin levels, and inflammation markers in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and healthy controls.
Materials And Methods: A total of 46 NASH patients and 38 healthy controls were included.
