Researchers and medical professionals are discovering a correlation between a diet rich in fiber and the effects of immunotherapy on patients with melanoma.
Typical household chemicals affect the number of healthy microorganisms in the gut, according to a recent study.
More than half of the U.S. adult population take prescription drugs – making America the pill nation of the world. The majority of these adults are 80 or older and suffer from severe conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disorders, according to Georgetown University’s Health Policy Institute. While these medicines may help alleviate certain symptoms, … Read more
Researchers conducted the study to find out if ingested seawater changes surfers’ microbiota, as well as if any of the bacterial strains within the gut show resistance to antibiotics.
Two new studies explore the idea that the bacteria strains in the microbiome must be studied to gain a greater understanding of the microbiome and gut health.
Over the last few years, the importance of intestinal bacteria has been widely discussed. Multiple studies show the symbiotic relationship between the various bacterial species in the gut and certain critical metabolic functions. Bacteria, however, are not the only microbes responsible for the body’s wellbeing. Researchers have found that fungi, another microbe that dwells inside … Read more
From digestion-related processes and immunity to the production of essential vitamins, gut bacteria carry out a wide range of critical functions in the body. Previous studies reveal the healing nature of these microbes when it comes to mental disorders. In addition to this, gut microbes may help improve comprehension and early speech development in babies. … Read more
An overwhelming percentage of infants in America are born lacking an essential bacterium that is critical for breast milk metabolism as well as the progression of the immune system. This deficiency enables harmful pathogens to overpopulate – which often leads to diaper rash and colic, according to new research. A large number of diverse bacteria … Read more
The collection of nerves in the gut called the enteric nervous system (ENS) has been shown to act similarly to other neural networks in the central nervous system (CNS). Considering the many diverse functions of the digestive system and its accessory organs, the ENS is the most complex peripheral nervous system – and the most … Read more
Antibiotic resistance occurs when microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi acquire the capacity to resist the treatments meant to destroy them. Because these hazardous microorganisms continue to multiply, diseases caused by antibiotic-resistant pathogens are becoming more difficult, if not impossible, to cure. To make matters worse, antibiotic-resistant bacteria were recently detected in the digestive tracts … Read more
