Few studies have been made in France of the epidemiology of constipation although it is a frequent reason for visits to the doctor or for seeking advice from pharmacists. The prevalence of constipation in European and North American populations is reportedly of the order of 15% on average and it is
AIMS:
In neonates born from pregnant women with normal BMI (> 18.5 and <24,9) at the first prenatal visit (<14 weeks of gestation) (Reference Group) and with pre-gestational obesity (BMI >30 Kg/m2) with low (customary) DHA intake (200 mg/day) (MO Group) and pre-gestational obese women supplemented
Objective
The aim of this study is to investigate the bacterial profiles in whole saliva before and after a 2-week sugar provocation with and without probiotic supplements in healthy young adults. A second aim is to study the bacterial profiles 3 weeks after the termination of the sugar stress. The
Middle-aged subjects, who met ROME III criteria for constipation, received daily two sachets of either synbiotic or for 5 days, then they received daily 1 sachet for the next 25 days.
The primary endpoint of this trial is to evaluate the effect of supplementation in synbiotic containing
Environmental enteropathy is associated with linear and ponderal growth shortfalls in young children in resource constrained settings. However, the physiological alterations of intestinal function that accompany both the demonstrable evidence of inflammation and architectural changes seen in
Obesity, stress, liver disease, alcoholism, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases in humans or animal models are associated with altered intestinal permeability; consequently, maintenance of the gastrointestinal barrier is an emerging area of interest. The purpose of this randomized, double-blind,
RATIONALE Anemia affects between 20 and 50 % of women in the postpartum period. It is associated with several adverse health consequences, such as impaired physical work capacity, deficits in cognitive function and mood, reduced immune function and reduced duration of breastfeeding. Postpartum
Over the past decade it has become clear that the gut microbiota is a key determinant of obesity and that its perturbations by nutritional insults play a significant role in the development of metabolic complications such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and
The development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) progresses from a state of elevated intrahepatic triglycerides (IHTG) to liver inflammation, and ultimately, hepatic apoptosis and fibrosis. NAFLD is the most prevalent liver disease in the U.S., and there is a serious need to understand
The purpose of the HOPE-Hb trial is to determine the feasibility and efficacy of intravenous iron plus erythropoietin versus intravenous iron alone for the treatment of iron restrictive anemia (iron deficiency anemia and anemia of chronic inflammation) prior to unilateral total hip or knee
Pregestational diabetes represents a high-risk for evolution of preeclampsia (PET), with rates of PET within this group at approximately 20%. The combination of diabetes and preeclampsia places the pregnancy at heightened risk for hypoxia and stillbirth. Placental dysfunction, due to disordered
Iron deficiency (ID) anaemia is a prevalent condition in Germany and other Western countries. It is a common complication in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), cardiovascular disease including chronic heart failure, cancer, chronic kidney disease (CKD), gynaecological conditions, and others.

This was an experimental type study with parallel controls, comparing two groups, a group with consumption of 10 minimum cigarettes per day, with a diagnosis of chronic periodontitis. And another control group were non-smokers with chronic periodontitis. For this, genomic DNA was purified from oral
Introduction Fruit of the date palm (P. dactylifera) may be considered an emerging and potential candidate for the development of health-promoting foods owing to its high nutritive values (Juhaimi, Ghafoor et al. 2012). Recently, scientific studies have revealed the medicinal properties of P.
Isomaltulose is a natural occurring disaccharide with a similar structure to sucrose. It is composed of glucose and fructose, but is linked by an α-1,6-glycosidic bond instead of α-1,2. Due to its binding, isomaltulose is slowly hydrolysed, which results in a rather weak postprandial
