microbiota model recapitulates and predicts individualised sensitivity to dietary emulsifier.

Background: Non-absorbed dietary emulsifiers, including carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), directly disturb intestinal microbiota, thereby promoting chronic intestinal inflammation in mice. A randomised controlled-feeding study (Functional Research on Emulsifiers in Humans, FRESH) found that CMC also detrimentally impacts intestinal microbiota in some, but not all, healthy individuals.

Objectives: This study aimed to establish an approach for predicting an individual's sensitivity to dietary emulsifiers via their baseline microbiota.

The impact of threshold-loaded inspiratory muscle training and respiratory biofeedback on preserving inspiratory muscle strength and vital capacity after CABG: a randomized clinical trial.

Objectives: Postoperative pulmonary complications (POPC) are common after cardiac surgeries such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and are influenced by factors including anesthesia and surgical trauma. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) with visual biofeedback may mitigate these complications. This study investigates the impact of threshold loading inspiratory muscle training (TL-IMT) combined with respiratory biofeedback on the dynamic strength of inspiratory muscles (S-index) in patients undergoing CABG surgery during their hospitalization phase.

Minibioreactor arrays to model microbiome response to alcohol and tryptophan in the context of alcohol-associated liver disease.

The intestinal microbiota (IM) plays a role in the severity of alcohol-associated liver disease. Modifying severe alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH) dysbiosis improves liver injury through tryptophan (Trp) metabolites and the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). However, Trp's effect on the IM in alcohol use disorder (AUD) patients remains unclear.

Introduction: Audiovisual distraction (AVD) is one of the non-pharmacological means of anxiety prevention. However, few studies have evaluated its perioperative effect in adults.

Aim: To evaluate the contribution of audio-visual distraction in the prevention of perioperative anxiety in adult patients proposed for surgery under spinal anesthesia.

Exploring the Promising Impact of Pulmonary Rehabilitation on Gait and Balance in Patients With COPD: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is commonly associated with respiratory difficulties, but it also presents with musculoskeletal problems. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) on balance and gait in patients with COPD.

Review Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of 4 databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Web of Science, from inception to November 2023.
