In a mutually beneficial connection with its host, the gut microbiota affects the host's nutrition, immunity, and metabolism. An increasing number of studies have shown links between certain types of disease and gut dysbiosis or specific microorganisms. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is strongly advised for the treatment of recurrent or resistant Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) due to its outstanding clinical effectiveness against CDI. The therapeutic potential of FMT for other disorders, particularly inflammatory bowel diseases and malignancies, is currently gaining more and more attention. We summarized the most recent preclinical and clinical evidence to show the promise of FMT in the management of cancer as well as complications related to cancer treatment after reviewing the most recent research on the gut microbiota and its relationship to cancer.

Background: Exposure of critically ill patients to antibiotics lead to intestinal dysbiosis, which often manifests as antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Faecal microbiota transplantation restores gut microbiota and may lead to faster resolution of diarrhoea.
Methods: Into this prospective, multi-centre, randomized controlled trial we will enrol 36 critically ill patients with antibiotic-associated diarrhoea.

Both the prevalence and mortality of liver cancers continue to rise. Early surgical interventions, including liver transplantation or resection, remain the only curative treatment. Nerves in the periphery influence tumor growth within visceral organs.

: This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in treating infection (CDI) in mouse models using a metabolomics-based approach. : A comprehensive search was conducted in three databases (PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar) from 10 April 2024 to 17 June 2024. Out of the 460 research studies reviewed and subjected to exclusion criteria, only 5 studies met all the inclusion criteria and were analyzed.

Glaucoma is the primary cause of irreversible blindness globally. Different glaucoma subtypes are identified by their underlying mechanisms, and treatment options differ by its pathogenesis. Current management includes topical medications to lower intraocular pressure and surgical procedures like trabeculoplasty and glaucoma drainage implants.

Resveratrol (RSV), a natural polyphenol, has been suggested to influence glucose and lipid metabolism. However, the underlying molecular mechanism of its action remains largely unknown due to its multiple biological targets and low bioavailability. In this study, we demonstrate that RSV supplementation ameliorates high-fat-diet (HFD)-induced gut microbiota dysbiosis, enhancing the abundance of anti-obesity bacterial strains such as and .
