Alteration in the gut microbiome in human patients with chronic liver disease is a well-known pathophysiological mechanism. Therefore, it represents both a diagnostic and therapeutical target. Intestinal dysbiosis has also been identified in dogs with chronic liver disease, but clinical trials evaluating the effectiveness of synbiotic administration are lacking.

Controlling the deposition of particles is of great importance in many applications. In this work, we study particle deposition driven by Marangoni flows, triggered by laser absorption inside an evaporating droplet. When the laser is turned on, thermal gradients are generated and produce a toroidal Marangoni flow that concentrates the particles around the laser beam and ultimately controls the final deposition.

  • Chronic intestinal disorders (CID) are long-lasting gastrointestinal issues, with a focus on inflammatory bowel diseases in humans and chronic enteropathies in pets.
  • The review discusses traditional treatments alongside nutraceuticals that have antioxidant properties for managing these disorders.
  • Although evidence supports the antioxidant effects of these nutraceuticals, there's limited research on their application for CID treatment, presenting an opportunity for further exploration in both human and veterinary fields.

Background: Trial monitoring is an important component of good clinical practice to ensure the safety and rights of study participants, confidentiality of personal information, and quality of data. However, the effectiveness of various existing monitoring approaches is unclear. Information to guide the choice of monitoring methods in clinical intervention studies may help trialists, support units, and monitors to effectively adjust their approaches to current knowledge and evidence.
