1.1. Theoretical Framework
Schizophrenia is a chronic mental illness characterized by significant clinical heterogeneity and a long evolution over time, determined by periods of psychotic exacerbation and phases of stabilization. The semiology of this nosological entity is
The term "mucositis" was introduced to describe inflammation of the oral mucosa induced by radiotherapy, chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation. At present, oral mucositis is considered to be the most serious non-hematological complication of cancer treatment.
Numerous predisposing factors
Low microbial diversity in the intestine correlates with chronic diseases such as Inflammatory Bowel diseases, colorectal cancer, obesity, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and more. The incidence of chronic diseases is greater in the industrialized society consuming a diet low in
Specific Objectives:
To evaluate the microbiome response to probiotic supplementation (with and without prebiotics) in under 6 months infants with severe acute malnutrition and to compare the microbiome response with healthy infants supplemented with probiotic.
Research Design and Methods:
Study
The incidence of both obesity and diabetes are on a staggering rise. Many studies suggest that by 2030, 40-50% of the population will be obese. The prevalence of gestational diabetes (GDM) is also increasing, and was recently reported to be 9%. GDM increases risk of obesity and impaired glucose
The gastrointestinal tract is populated by a collection of microorganisms, primarily bacteria, that interact with intestinal host cells. In the past two decades, several studies have demonstrated the effects of the intestinal microbiota on host physiological, metabolic and immunological processes
Research supports clinical experience that ingestion of food often triggers the emergence or exacerbation of symptoms in the majority of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). While IBS remains primarily a symptom driven entity, our understanding of its pathophysiology is evolving. However,
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Conduct a dose escalation trial to determine the tolerability of the fructo-oligosaccharides prebiotic in allogeneic hematopoeitic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients.
OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study.
Patients receive fructooligosaccharides (FOS) orally (PO) twice
Diagnosis: The diagnosis of Alcoholic hepatitis is made by the following criteria (12)

Severe alcoholic hepatitis is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
Diagnosis: The diagnosis of (AH) is made by the following criteria11
I.Chronic active alcohol abuse - > 80 grams in males and > 20 grams in females. II. Duration of jaundice < 3 months III. Serum Bilirubin >5 mg/dl
This project is designed to enhance understanding of links between food and the health of the gut. The particular purpose of the project is to investigate the impact of a well-defined intervention in human volunteers on a panel of novel, and established, diet-related biomarkers of bowel cancer risk.

A: Primary aims:
1. Determine the effect of 4 months of oral galactose administration on the level of FSPF in children with steroid resistant FSGS
2. Determine the effect of 4 months of oral galactose administration on the first morning urine protein to creatinine (urine protein:
Scientific background. The increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in cancer has long been recognized (1). Since first described by Trousseau in 1865, many aspects of this complex relationship are still obscure (2). Cancer patients have an increased risk for developing thrombosis. Similarly,
