BACKGROUND: As an innovative technique without cable connection, targeted drug-delivery capsules improve diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
This paper proposes a novel methodology for automatic detection and localization of gastrointestinal (GI) anomalies in endoscopic video frame sequences. Training is performed with weakly annotated images, using only image-level, semantic labels inste...
BACKGROUND: HIV infection induces alterations in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) that constitutes the most important site for viral replication due to the extensive presence of effector memory T-cells. In the case of HIV-controllers, severa...
The measurement of procalcitonin has recently become a mainstay for the diagnosis and therapeutic management of severe bacterial infections, especially those sustained by Gram-negative bacteria. Therefore, the aim of this article is to provide a narr...
In vitro DM disappearance (IVDMD) and gas production methods have been developed and used to measure in vivo nutrient digestibility of feed ingredients, but further validation is needed for ingredients containing high concentrations of insoluble fibe...
Prebiotics and probiotics strongly impact the gut ecosystem by changing the composition and/or metabolism of the microbiota to improve the health of the host. However, the composition of the microbiota constantly changes due to the intake of daily di...
