Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding the role of gut microbiome–host metabolic signal disruption in health and disease
TL;DR: Advances in both sequencing technologies and metabolic profiling platforms, coupled with mathematical integration approaches, herald a new era in characterizing the role of the microbiome in metabolic signalling within the host and have far reaching implications in promoting health in both the developed and developing world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proving the effectiveness of virtual reality simulation for training in laparoscopic surgery.
Rajesh Aggarwal,Jonnie Ward,Indran Balasundaram,Parvinderpal Sains,Thanos Athanasiou,Ara Darzi +5 more
TL;DR: A proficiency based virtual reality training curriculum shortens the learning curve on real laparoscopic procedures when compared with traditional training methods, and supports the need for simulator-based practice to be integrated into surgical training programs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic surgery profoundly influences gut microbial–host metabolic cross-talk
Jia V. Li,Hutan Ashrafian,Marco Bueter,Marco Bueter,James Kinross,Caroline Sands,C. W. le Roux,Stephen R. Bloom,Ara Darzi,Thanos Athanasiou,Julian R. Marchesi,Jeremy K. Nicholson,Elaine Holmes +12 more
TL;DR: The effect of RYGB surgery on the host metabolic–microbial cross-talk augments the understanding of the metabolic phenotype of bariatric procedures and can facilitate enhanced treatments for obesity-related diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Summary receiver operating characteristic curve analysis techniques in the evaluation of diagnostic tests.
TL;DR: A practical approach is used to show how SROC analysis can be applied to meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy by using a contrived dataset of studies on virtual bronchoscopy in the diagnosis of airway lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of the cerebral cortex during motor task behaviours in adults: a systematic review of functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) studies.
Daniel R. Leff,Felipe Orihuela-Espina,Clare E. Elwell,Thanos Athanasiou,David T. Delpy,Ara Darzi,Guang-Zhong Yang +6 more
TL;DR: The contribution of the fNIRS technique to advancing the understanding of motor skill learning and control in the context of tasks of everyday living, athletic performance, and recovery from neurological illness is assessed.
