The SensorART project focus on the management of heart failure (HF) patients which are treated with implantable ventricular assist devices (VADs). This work presents the way that crisp models are transformed into fuzzy in the weaning module, which is one of the core modules of the specialist's decision support system (DSS) in SensorART. The weaning module is a DSS that supports the medical expert on the weaning and remove VAD from the patient decision. Weaning module has been developed following a "mixture of experts" philosophy, with the experts being fuzzy knowledge-based models, automatically generated from initial crisp knowledge-based set of rules and criteria for weaning.

Sex specific gut-microbiota signatures of resilient and comorbid gut-brain phenotypes induced by early life stress.
Neurobiol Stress
November 2024
APC Microbiome Ireland, University College Cork, Cork, Ireland.
Article Synopsis
- Early life stress, like maternal separation in rats, impacts gut-brain communication and the microbiota, affecting later risk for stress-induced disorders differently in males and females.
- The research involved analyzing fecal samples and assessing changes in pain sensitivity and behavior in adulthood, revealing four distinct clusters: resilient, pain, immobile, and comorbid, each with unique gut microbiota profiles.
- This study highlights how early gut microbiota changes can define adult behavioral responses, marking a step forward in understanding the relationship between gut health and stress resilience or susceptibility.
Impact of Oil-in-Water Adjuvanted β-Glucan on Innate Immune Memory in Piglets.
Vaccines (Basel)
August 2024
Institute of Virology and Immunology, 3147 Mittelhäusern, Switzerland.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the potential of using an in vitro selected β-glucan to induce trained immunity and its impact on early-life infections in pigs.
- Researchers evaluated immune responses by measuring leukocyte gene expression, proinflammatory cytokines, and clinical scores in two phases: training and vaccination.
- The findings suggest that neither the β-glucan nor the adjuvant significantly enhanced innate immune responses; instead, they may promote innate immune tolerance, which has mixed effects on piglet health.
Gene co-expression network and differential expression analyses reveal key genes for weaning weight in Simmental-Holstein crossbred cattle.

College of Animal Science and Technology, China Agricultural University, Beijing, China.
Article Synopsis
- Weaning weight is crucial for assessing early growth in cattle, and understanding its genetic basis can improve breeding selection accuracy.
- This study analyzed RNA-Sequencing data from 86 Simmental-Holstein crossbred calves to identify genes linked to weaning weight and various body size traits, uncovering 498 differentially expressed genes.
- A final set of 37 candidate genes associated with growth, development, and immune processes were identified, highlighting their potential role in improving cattle breeding practices.

Article Synopsis
- The intestinal microbiome in infants and children has different metabolic functions and compositions than in adults, leading to unique health implications.
- A study using a mouse model (PedsCom) showed that the pre-weaning microbiome results in immune system stunting and increased vulnerability to infections during the transition from milk to solid foods.
- Analysis revealed that PedsCom has distinct metabolic characteristics, particularly in amino acid metabolism, which could be important for developing interventions to optimize early-life microbiome health.
