Objectives: to interpret the self-care experience of people with intestinal ostomy registered in an ostomy program, based on the framework of the Social Model of Disability.
Methods: qualitative exploratory research, with the participation of nine people with intestinal ostomy, based on the Social Model of Disability.
Results: majority were elderly, married, male with colostomy due to colorectal neoplasia. The self-care of these people was analyzed in two thematic groups: "Interdisciplinary assistance needed for people with intestinal ostomy" and "Self-care for the rehabilitation of the person with intestinal ostomy". It was proved that there was a need for a specialized health team, offering information on disabilities, teaching self-care and perioperative follow-up.
Final Considerations: when the social barriers of physical disabilities are overcome in the context of assistance for health and life, self-care will go beyond the reductionist vision of procedural care, towards comprehensive care, favoring the achievement of rehabilitation and the quality of survival.

The neonatal period is a critical phase for the development of the intestinal immune system, marked by rapid adaptation to the external environment and unique nutritional demands. Breast milk plays a pivotal role in this transition, yet the mechanisms by which it influences neonatal mucosal immunity remain unclear. This review examines the potential mechanisms by which cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in breast milk may impact neonatal immune development, particularly through Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) signalling and gut microbiota interactions.

Background: Few studies have explored the relationship between habitual dietary patterns and disease activity in people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). This cross-sectional study explored the association between dietary patterns and clinical and objective markers of inflammation in adults from the Australian IBD Microbiome Study.
Methods: Dietary patterns were derived using principal component analysis (PCA) of baseline food frequency questionnaire data.

The gut microbiome is essential for children's normal growth and development, with its formation aligning closely with key stages of growth. Factors like birth method, feeding practices, and antibiotic exposure significantly shape the composition and functionality of the infant gut microbiome. Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) involves an abnormal increase in bacteria within the small intestine.

Background/objectives: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder with debilitating symptoms and multifactorial etiology. Nutritional factors during adult life have been implicated in IBD pathogenesis. In addition, there is growing evidence that maternal and early-life diet may be associated with intestinal inflammation and colitis severity.

The intestinal mycobiome is closely related to human health. There have been several reports investigating the association between the gut fungi and disease, but there is still a lack of overall assessment of the human gut mycobiome. Here, we performed a meta-analysis based on 2372 ITS (Internal Transcribed Spacer) data collected publicly online.
