Association of time to colonoscopy after a positive fecal test result and fecal hemoglobin concentration with risk of advanced colorectal neoplasia.

Digestive and liver disease : official journal of the Italian Society of Gastroenterology and the Italian Association for the Study of the Liver
BACKGROUND: We evaluated the risk of advanced colorectal neoplasia (ACRN) and colorectal cancer (CRC) according to time to colonoscopy after positive fecal immunochemical test (FIT), fecal hemoglobin concentration, and combination of both.

Exploring the interactions between serum free fatty acids and fecal microbiota in obesity through a machine learning algorithm.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
Serum free fatty acids (FFA) are generally elevated in obesity. The gut microbiota is involved in the host energy metabolism through the regulation of body fat storage, and a link between diet, FFA and the intestinal microbiota seems to exist. Our ai...

In vitro and in vivo resistance of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG carried by a mixed pineapple (Ananas comosus L. Merril) and jussara (Euterpe edulis Martius) juice to the gastrointestinal tract.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
This study evaluated the viability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) and its in vitro and in vivo resistance to the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) when carried by a mixed fermented pineapple and jussara juice. The effects of product ingestion on the ...

Detection of Colorectal Carcinoma Based on Microbiota Analysis Using Generalized Regression Neural Networks and Nonlinear Feature Selection.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
To obtain a screening tool for colorectal cancer (CRC) based on gut microbiota, we seek here to identify an optimal classifier for CRC detection as well as a novel nonlinear feature selection method for determining the most discriminative microbial s...

Management practices associated with strongylid parasite prevalence on horse farms in rural counties of Kentucky.

Veterinary parasitology, regional studies and reports
Anthelmintic resistance among cyathostomin parasites is a wide-spread problem. The parasite control guidelines written by the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) encourages the preservation of anthelmintic efficacy by reducing treatme...

Prevalence and genotypes of Giardia lamblia from stray dogs and cats in Guangdong, China.

Veterinary parasitology, regional studies and reports
Giardia lamblia is a worldwide zoonotic intestinal parasite that infects humans and a wide range of mammals including dogs and cats, causing giardiasis with diarrhea. To investigate the infection and distribution of G. lamblia genotypes from stray do...

Support vector machines for explaining physiological stress response in Wood mice (Apodemus sylvaticus).

Scientific reports
Physiological stress response is a crucial adaptive mechanism for prey species survival. This paper aims to identify the main environmental and/or individual factors better explaining the stress response in Wood mice, Apodemus sylvaticus. We analyzed...

Evaluation of a peroxygen-based disinfectant for inactivation of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus at low temperatures on metal surfaces.

Veterinary microbiology
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) spread rapidly across the United States in part due to contaminated livestock trailers. The objective of this study was to test a peroxygen-based disinfectant for the ability to inactivate PEDV on aluminum surfa...

Verification and large scale clinical evaluation of a national standard protocol for Salmonella spp./Shigella spp. screening using real-time PCR combined with guided culture.

Journal of microbiological methods
Salmonella spp./Shigella spp. are often associated with food poisoning and fecal-oral transmission of acute gastroenteritis that requires strict monitoring, especially among people who would handle food and water. In 2014, the National Health and Fam...

Pharmacokinetics, bioavailability, tissue distribution and excretion of tangeretin in rat.

Journal of food and drug analysis
Tangeretin, 4',5,6,7,8-pentamethoxyflavone, is one of the major polymethoxyflavones (PMFs) existing in citrus fruits, particularly in the peels of sweet oranges and mandarins. Tangeretin has been reported to possess several beneficial bioactivities i...
