A century ago, Elie Metchnikoff postulated that lactic acid bacteria offered health benefits capable of promoting longevity and suggested that “intestinal autoint” bacteria should be studied.
Abstract
PROBIOTICS—THE CONCEPTHistory and DefinitionsA century ago, Elie Metchnikoff (a Russian scientist, Nobel laureate, and professor at the Pasteur Institute in Paris) postulated that lactic acid bacteria (LAB) offered health benefits capable of promoting longevity. He suggested that “intestinal autoint

Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 in Liver Diseases: A Novel Therapeutic Target

TL;DR: The cytokines and small molecules that activate STAT3 in hepatocytes may have therapeutic benefits to treat acute liver injury, fatty liver disease, and alcoholic hepatitis, while blockage of STAT3 may have a therapeutic potential to prevent and treat liver cancer.

A Novel Sleep Positioning Device Reduces Gastroesophageal Reflux: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that sleeping left-side down with the head/torso elevated reduces recumbent gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and a sleep-positioning device consisting of an inclined base and body pillow that maintains lateral position while elevating the head /torso maintains recumbents position effectively.

Predictors of gastroesophageal reflux symptoms in pregnant women screened for sleep disordered breathing: a secondary analysis.

TL;DR: This study suggests that GERD symptoms correlate with pre-pregnancy BMI and BMI at delivery, but not with the amount of weight gain during pregnancy, while fetal weight/uterine size did not seem predictive of developing GERD in pregnancy.

Low levels of adherence with proton pump inhibitor therapy contribute to therapeutic failure in gastroesophageal reflux disease.

TL;DR: Adherence to proton pump inhibitor (PPI) treatment and associated variables in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease was correlated with demographics, cotherapies, comorbidities, treatment duration, symptoms scores, endoscopic findings, and patient awareness of their disease.

Persistence of Nonceliac Wheat Sensitivity, Based on Long-term Follow-up

TL;DR: It is concluded that nonceliac wheat sensitivity is a persistent condition and patients who adhered strictly to a gluten-free diet had reduced symptoms after a diagnosis.

Amerindian mtDNA haplogroups and celiac disease risk HLA haplotypes in mixed-blood Latin American patients.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the frequency of Amerindian mtDNA haplogroups (inherited by the maternal line) in mixed-blood patients with celiac disease from Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay, and assessed the relation between these and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles and haplotypes and clinical presentations.
