Environmental and population influences on mummichog () gut microbiomes.

Microbiol Spectr

January 2025

Marine Chemistry & Geochemistry Department, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA.

Unlabelled: The mummichog, , an abundant estuarine fish broadly distributed along the eastern coast of North America, has repeatedly evolved tolerance to otherwise lethal levels of aromatic hydrocarbon exposure. This tolerance is linked to reduced activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) signaling pathway. In other animals, the AHR has been shown to influence the gastrointestinal-associated microbial community, particularly when activated by the model toxic pollutant 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB-126) and other dioxin-like compounds.

Synthetic antidiabetic drugs are often associated with various adverse side effects, including hypoglycemia, nausea, gastrointestinal disturbances, headaches, and even liver damage. In contrast, plant-derived natural antidiabetic bioactive compounds typically exhibit lower toxicity and fewer side effects and have been reported to aid effectively in diabetes management. These plant extracts regulate diabetes by restoring pancreatic function, enhancing insulin secretion, inhibiting intestinal glucose absorption, and facilitating insulin dependent metabolism.

Theophylline use-a conundrum in modern medicine: a case report.

AME Case Rep

September 2024

Department of Nephrology, Appalachian Regional Healthcare, Harlan, KY, USA.

Background: The theophylline toxidrome presents with multisystemic involvement that includes cardiovascular, neurologic, metabolic, musculoskeletal, and gastrointestinal manifestations. Considering such a varied spectrum of presentations, it is often difficult to ascertain the diagnosis of this particular toxidrome. Review of home medications is an important step when working with a patient presenting as a toxidrome.

Background: The management of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is hindered by treatment-related toxicities and complications, particularly cytopenia, which remains a leading cause of mortality. Given the pivotal role of the gut microbiota (GM) in hemopoiesis and immune regulation, we investigated its impact on hematologic recovery during AML induction therapy.

Methods: We profiled the GM of 27 newly diagnosed adult AML patients using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and correlated it with key clinical parameters before and after induction therapy.

Phytosomes are innovative compounds that enhance the bioavailability of plant-derived compounds, making them more effective in pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. By improving cellular absorption, phytosomes allow lower doses of plant extracts to achieve therapeutic effects, which may reduce both cost and the risk of potential side effects. The incorporation of phospholipids in phytosomes not only stabilizes the active compounds but also protects them from degradation in the gastrointestinal tract, potentially increasing their shelf life and efficacy.
