TL;DR: Simulating the mucosal gut microbiota represents a breakthrough in modeling and mechanistically studying the human intestinal microbiome in health and disease and may enhance butyrate bioavailability, which could be useful in treating diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease.
Book
Smooth Tests of Goodness of Fit
TL;DR: The use of orthonormal functions, tests for composite hypotheses, and tests of categorised data for goodness of fit has been extensively studied in the literature as discussed by the authors, including the use of X2 tests and their components.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple putative oncogenes at the chromosome 20q amplicon contribute to colorectal adenoma to carcinoma progression
Beatriz Carvalho,Cindy Postma,Sandra Mongera,Erik S. Hopmans,Sharon J. Diskin,M.A. van de Wiel,W van Criekinge,Olivier Thas,A Matthäi,Miguel A. Cuesta,J. S. Terhaar sive Droste,Mike E. Craanen,Evelin Schröck,Bauke Ylstra,Gerrit A. Meijer +14 more
TL;DR: C20orf24, AURKA, RNPC1, TH1L, ADRM1, C20orf20 and TCFL5 genes are revealed to be important in chromosomal instability-related adenoma to carcinoma progression and may serve as highly specific biomarkers for colorectal cancer with potential clinical applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
MicroRNA Expression in Induced Sputum of Smokers and Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Geert R. Van Pottelberge,Pieter Mestdagh,Ken R. Bracke,Olivier Thas,Yannick M.T.A. van Durme,Guy Joos,Jo Vandesompele,Guy Brusselle +7 more
TL;DR: Let-7c is significantly reduced in the sputum of currently smoking patients with COPD and is associated with increased expression of TNFR-II, implicated in COPD pathogenesis and a predicted target gene of let-7C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectral Entropy as an Electroencephalographic Measure of Anesthetic Drug Effect: A Comparison with Bispectral Index and Processed Midlatency Auditory Evoked Response
TL;DR: Compared with BIS and AAI, both SE and RE seem to be useful electroencephalographic measures of anesthetic drug effect, with low baseline variability and accurate burst suppression prediction.
