TL;DR: Alternative enterotype states are associated with long-term diet, particularly protein and animal fat (Bacteroides) versus carbohydrates (Prevotella) and other enterotypes distinguished primarily by levels of Bacteroide and Prevotella.

TL;DR: It is reported that elevated FGF23 levels are independently associated with LVH in a large, racially diverse CKD cohort and suggested that chronically elevated F GF23 levels contribute directly to high rates of LVH and mortality in individuals with CKD.

TL;DR: Increased FGF23 is a common manifestation of CKD that develops earlier than increased phosphate or PTH, and may be a sensitive early biomarker of disordered phosphorus metabolism in patients with CKD and normal serum phosphate levels.

TL;DR: Dietary therapy had independent and rapid effects on microbiota composition distinct from other stressor-induced changes and effectively reduced inflammation and shed light on Crohn disease treatments.

TL;DR: The partial Mayo score and the 6‐point score composed solely of the stool frequency and bleeding components of the Mayo score performed as well as the full Mayo score to identify patient perceived clinical response.
