Saccharomyces boulardii RC009 as an alternative to prophylactic antibiotics: effects on broiler chickens, performance, and gut microbiome

This study evaluates the effects of supplementing broiler chicken feed with the probiotic Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii RC009 as a sustainable alternative to prophylactic antibiotics. The focus was on productive performance, gut m...

Case Report: A severe case of immunosuppressant-refractory immune checkpoint inhibitor-mediated colitis rescued by tofacitinib

Immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy for cancer treatment can give rise to a variety of adverse events. Here we report a male patient with metastatic melanoma who experienced life-threatening colitis and duodenitis following treatment with i...

Shotgun metagenomic sequencing of serum extracellular vesicle-derived DNA enables microbial profiling in urothelial carcinoma

Abstract Shotgun metagenomic sequencing provides more detailed microbial information than 16 S rRNA sequencing but requires higher cost and larger sample volumes. We evaluated whether shotgun metagenomic sequencing could detect bacterial DN...

Free Amino Acids in Human Milk: A Potential Role for Glutamine and Glutamate in the Protection Against Neonatal Allergies and Infections

Breastfeeding is indicated to support neonatal immune development and to protect against neonatal infections and allergies. Human milk composition is widely studied in relation to these unique abilities, which has led to the identification ...

Modelling Potassium Properties in East African Soils Using Infrared Spectroscopy

Potassium (K) is an essential plant nutrient and is often in short supply in the highly weathered soils of East Africa. The development of effective and sustainable fertilisation strategies could be helped by developing rapid and relatively...
