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.

Article Synopsis
- HIV and syphilis are commonly found in sub-Saharan Africa, and a study aimed to look at active syphilis prevalence while factoring in HIV status and demographic details across five countries: Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
- The study involved over 100,000 participants aged 15 and older, who provided demographic and behavioral data along with blood samples for testing. Active syphilis was identified using specific antibody tests, and results were analyzed using statistical models.
- Results showed varying syphilis prevalence rates across the countries, with an estimated 1,027,615 individuals affected; those living with HIV had notably higher syphilis rates compared to those without HIV.
