Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent arrhythmia in the adult population associated with a high rate of severe consequences leading to significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Therefore, its prompt recognition is of high clinical importance. AF detection often remains challenging due to unspecific symptoms and a lack of reliable biomarkers for its prediction.

Background/objectives: Gastric cancer (GC) incidence remains high worldwide, and the survival rate is poor. GC develops from atrophic gastritis (AG), associated with () infection, passing through intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia steps. Since eradication does not exclude GC development, further investigations are needed.

The connection between gut microbiota and factors like diet is crucial for maintaining intestinal balance, which in turn impacts the host's overall health. microalgae is a sustainable source of bioactive compounds, mainly known for its used in aquaculture and extraction of bioactive lipids, with potential health benefits whose effects on human gut microbiota are still unknown. Therefore, the goal of this work was to assess the impact of on human gut microbiota composition and derived metabolites by combining the INFOGEST protocol and in vitro colonic fermentation process to evaluate potential effects on human gut microbiota conformation through 16S rRNA gene sequencing and its metabolic functionality.

Background/objectives: Gut microbiota interacts with nutrients, which may be relevant to assigning a microbial signature to colorectal cancer (CRC). We aim to evaluate the potential of gut microbiota combined with dietary habits in the early detection of pathological findings related to CRC in the course of a screening program.

Methodology: The colonoscopy performed on 152 subjects positive for fecal occult blood test showed that 6 subjects had adenocarcinoma, 123 had polyps, and 23 subjects had no pathological findings.
