Effects of combined Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens supplementation on fecal characteristics, fecal microbiota, and immune function of healthy adult dogs
Abstract Bacillus species are spore-forming bacteria with characteristics that support their use as probiotics; however, the effects of combined Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens supplementation on intestinal and immune outcomes have been minimally studied in dogs. This study evaluated fecal characteristics, microbiota, fecal immunoglobulin A and calprotectin concentrations, serum chemistry, hematology, and immune function in healthy adult dogs supplemented with B. subtilis and B.
Illinois analysis aims to ease GI symptoms for cancer patients
URBANA, IL— Many modern cancer treatments are highly effective at reducing or eliminating tumors, but they can also cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms that impact patients’ quality of life or lead to discontinuation of treatment. Anew analysisfromUniversity of Illinois Urbana-Champaignresearchers reveals the nutrition therapies that are most effective at minimizing GI distress.
Baseline gut microbiome alpha diversity predicts chemotherapy-induced gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with breast cancer - npj Breast Cancer
Abstract Chemotherapy frequently causes debilitating gastrointestinal symptoms, which are inadequately managed by current treatments. Recent research indicates the gut microbiome plays a role in the pathogenesis of these symptoms. The current study aimed to identify pre-chemotherapy microbiome markers that predict gastrointestinal symptom severity after breast cancer chemotherapy.
Do Nutrition Interventions Improve Gastrointestina
Newswise — This systematic review and meta-analysis from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign analyzed 150 studies to determine the effect of nutritional interventions on GI symptoms during cancer treatment. Meta analyses indicated that collectively (all interventions combined), oral intake reduced nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea incidence (p < 0.001).
Gut microbiota‐immune‐brain interactions in chemotherapy‐associated behavioral comorbidities
Increasing scientific attention is focused on the gut‐brain axis, including the ability of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to modulate central nervous system function. Changes in the intestinal microbiome can influence affective‐like behavior, cognitive performance, fatigue, and sleep in rodents and humans. Patients with cancer who are receiving chemotherapy experience similar negative behavioral changes and concurrent GI symptoms.
