How Diet Could Harness Gut Microbes to Prevent GI Disease

People are often told to stay active and eat healthy foods for good health. But there is still plenty of debate about what constitutes a healthy diet, and whether that diet would be the same for all people. The community of microbes in the gut also has to be taken into account, and the human gut microbiome can ...

Lariocidin - A New Class of Antibiotics is Discovered

Bacteria can easily evolve, and can quickly gain resistance to drugs. Drug-resistant bacterial infections already cause the deaths of millions of people every year, and that number is expected to rise as bacteria continue to evade the effects of more drugs. New antibiotics that are safe and effective are very ...

Fighting Plaque with CBD: Study Shows Enhanced Oral Health Benefits

Can cannabidiol (CBD) serve as a mouthwash to combat gingivitis? This is what a recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine hopes to address as a team of researchers from the Medical University of Silesia in Poland investigated how mouthwash ...

Dietary Nutrition Proven to Affect Mental Health

A study published in the European Journal of Nutrition investigates the relationships between nutrient patterns and depressive symptoms (DS) in a cohort of elderly individuals over a period of up to 16 years. The study began with a cohort of 1,755 individuals from the 3C Bordeaux cohort who responded to a dietary ...

A Better Way to Diagnose Chagas Disease

Chagas disease is considered a neglected tropical disease; it is caused by a protozoan parasite (Trypanosoma cruzi), which is harbored by many different wild animals in the Americas, including the kissing bug. The disease can cause mild symptoms like fatigue, fever, rash, and body aches, but if untreated it can ...
