Filter by:This study aims to investigate the effect of probiotic added to the diet of mothers on infantile colic in the postpartum period and the content of the neonatal intestinal microbiota.
The demand for alternatives to dairy products has increased in recent years and a lot of proposals for vegetable milk and yogurt products have taken place in the market. Quinoa is a plant from South America that has growth in popularity in recent years as many sought out nutritious and healthier eating, the herb is known for its high nutritional value. It is complete protein source containing all the essential amino acids. If this herb were fermented with probiotic bacteria, there is a potential for a product that is lactose free, gluten free and cholesterol free. The probiotic potential of quinoa milk, fermented with food associated lactic acid bacteria will be investigated. This includes a study that examines how daily consumption of this vegetable drink changes the composition of the oral and intestinal flora. Therefore, healthy people are now seeking to participate in the study, which will be for just over 2 weeks.
Enteral feeding tube (EFT) and component of feeding systems can serve as a reservoir of microorganisms, and the main reason is inappropriate hand hygiene practices. The aim of the project is to determine colonization of microorganisms on the EFT and other components and assess the relation between colonization and adherence to hand hygiene practices by healthcare workers in the intensive care unit. This prospective, observational and semi-experimental study will be conducted in one year. The project will be completed with healthcare workers and 51 patients who are feeding enteral route via nasogastric tube at least for three days. The researchers will provide training to healthcare workers in accordance with the World Health Organization (WHO) Hand Hygiene Guidelines. Hand hygiene behaviors of the participants will be observed and the question forms will be filled before and after training by researchers. The samples for microbial analysis will be collected from the EFT by sterile swaps.
To identify differences in the intestinal microbiota by metagenomics analyses between lean and obese subjects
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of nutrition Training on mothers' nutrition pattern, breast milk and newborn intestinal microbiota. Materials and methods: The study was conducted as a non-randomized controlled experimental study. The population of the study consisted of mothers and their babies who delivered vaginally, breastfeeded their babies at the end of the second postnatal day and delivered at the maternity ward of the Malatya Training and Research Hospital Beydağı Campus. The sample of the study consisted of 120 mothers, 57 of whom were experimental and 63 of them were in the control group. In this study, a sub-sample of 15 mothers and their infants was selected and microbiota of breast milk and stool samples were examined. In the first interview with the mothers in the experimental and control groups, Participant Identification Form, BTSKF were applied as a pre-test and stool samples of breast milk and newborn were taken. Then, the mothers in the experimental group were given nutritional education. In addition, motivational messages were sent to mothers' phones once a week. MTS in the experimental and control groups were filled with BTSKF as an intermediate test at the first month and post-test at the third month and stool samples of breast milk and newborn were collected at the mothers' own homes. During these visits, nutrition counseling was given to the mothers in the experimental group.
The microbiome can affect skin health from the gut-skin axis, from environmental exposure, and topical treatments. Decreasing biodiversity of skin microbiota has been linked to inflammatory conditions, allergies, and skin health. This cross sectional study will be used to survey healthy volunteers and measure the density and diversity of skin flora of varying skin types. The aim of this study is to identify associations between the skin flora and characteristics of healthy skin types.
All subjects will complete a 49-day, multi-phase feeding study to evaluate the effect of pea fiber supplementation on gut community structure and features of host biological state (plasma proteome/ metabolome). Subjects will be asked to continue to consume their habitual diet (free diet phase) for 4 days prior to being provided with a diet high in saturated fat (HiSF) and low in fruits and vegetables (LoFV) in the form of packed-out meals and snacks to consume for the following 45 days. Ten days after starting to consume the HiSF-LoFV diet, subjects will supplement their diet with pea fiber for a total of 21 days; the energy contribution from the HiSF-LoFV diet will be reduced accordingly to maintain energy needs during this time. After completing the pea fiber supplementation phase of the study subjects will revert back to consuming the HiSF-LoFV only diet for the final 14 days. Stool, urine and blood will be sampled periodically throughout.
Gut microbiota of 1) patients with chronic fatigue syndrome and 2) their healthy family members are analyzed. Up to 40 patients with chronic fatigue syndrome are randomized to receive either 1) a faecal transplant from a healthty donor or 2) their own feces via colonoscopy. Patient's health related quality and ability to work are assessed (baseline, 1 and 6 months after the procedure)
Events occurring in the early stages of life play an important role in the development of chronic diseases; diet and lifestyle during pregnancy are recognized to be crucial determinants in modulating offspring microbiota, throughout a vertical transfer of dysbiotic maternal ambient. Moreover, the intestinal colonization is maximized in the first two years of life through newborn's type and time of feeding. This study will provide the starting point for a future prospective observational study to assessing the association between maternal lifestyle with infant microbiota and their influence future health.
Health care associated infection (HCAI) is a serious health hazard as it leads to increased morbidity and mortality of patients, length of hospital stay and costs associated with increased hospital stay. A total of 361 subjects divided into four groups were included in this study. The first group comprised of 179 doctors, the second had 31 nurses, third group had 110 OT Technicians and the fourth group included 41 subjects which included housekeeping staff and cleaners. Swabs were collected from OT staff at the time of entry and at exit from the OT. Places of swabs taken were: A) Web space, B) OT dress and C) Anterior nares.
