Filter by:Diabetes is one of the biggest public health challenges of the 21st century because of the costs associated with its management, which are estimated at more than three billion dollars per year in Quebec. This cost has been growing steadily for 20 years now. A person with controlled diabetes mobilizes three times more medical resources than a person without diabetes (Diabetes Quebec, 2009). This amount increases rapidly with the associated complications. Therapeutic carbohydrate restriction (in an omnivorous context) used specifically to control glycemia is being studied more and more, but has never been verified in a vegan context. Some studies show that a vegan diet could be an effective way to help type 2 diabetics (T2DM) to better manage their blood sugar. Thus, it is necessary to question whether these effects can be accentuated in the context of a low or very low carbohydrate diet. Numerous publications have highlighted the role of the gut microbiota in metabolic diseases, including T2DM. Analysis of the microbiome before and after dietary change combined with daily breath testing will tell us more about possible intolerances and the role of the microbiome in T2DM management. Given the novelty of these hypotheses and its absence in the literature, it is relevant to undertake a first pilot project with a smaller number of participants in order to obtain preliminary data that will allow us to define more precisely the research avenues for a subsequent study.
The hypothesis of this research is that oral iron prescribed in a single dose in alternate day could mitigate the side effects with regard to intestinal microbiota, inflammation, oxidative stress and improve the hematological profile when compared to daily oral iron prescription
My Baby Biome is an observational study that will use 600 infant stool samples to determine the biomarkers associated with a healthy infant gut. Biomarkers identified in this study will be used to develop precision probiotics and LBPs for improving infant gut health outcomes to the benefit of all infants. Parents will be asked to submit follow-up questionnaires regarding infant immune health to improve insights obtained from the data.
Dysbiosis is a situation in which the normal function of an ecological net is altered. In health there is a cross talk between the host and the microbiota in order to maintain and promote a state of eubiosis. In dysbiosis a state of inflammation, a loss of hydration, a change in pH, a loss of the barrier function are all allies of key pathogens that work against the host. Stop dysbiosis is a bigger multibranch project focussed on different aspects of clinical dysbiosis including this prospective interventional double blind randomised clinical trial. Stop dysbiosis comprises further clinical studies in several areas such as oral dysbiosis, skin dysbiosis, vaginal dysbiosis and cancer dysbiosis, between others. One of the most common dysbiosis of the mouth is periodontal and mucosa dysbiosis that courses with inflammation of the gingiva (gingivitis). This inflammation induces some enzymes that in a later stage destroy connective tissue. The current study beeing presented now is focussed to research the effect of a composition with Saliactive ® topically delivered to the oral cavity vehiculized in an everyday toothpaste (YOTUEL® microbiome toothpaste) in a group of patients with oral dysbiosis.
This study will investigate the gut microbiota-mediated effects of whole wheat consumption on human health in adults with pre-diabetes. Participants will complete two phases of intervention in random order in which they will consume either whole wheat bread (4 servings) or white bread a day for two weeks prior to collecting specimens (stool, urine, and plasma/serum).
Shift workers are a growing population. It is well established that these workers face an increased risk of developing chronic diseases, but the underlying mechanisms remain debated. Various factors such as internal circadian desynchronization, unhealthy lifestyle behaviours, and lack of sleep interact in complex ways. Recently, it has been suggested that the gut microbiota (GM) may play an important role in this increased risk. The goal of this study is to describe the variations of the GM composition in shift workers across three different rotating weekly shifts (morning, afternoon, night) and to measure the impact of a 3- week walnuts supplementation intervention consisting in a controlled experimental study. Therefore, we propose a 6-weeks study including an observational and an experimental part. First, in the observational part, we will compare the gut microbiota of shift workers across three shifts (morning, afternoon and night). In the second part of the study, participants will add to their usual intakes a daily serving of nuts (30g). Again, we will compare the gut microbiota composition across the three types of shifts. During the study, participants will record their food intake, sleep and defecation time. We will also monitor their blood glucose levels continuously during the 4 first weeks of the study.
African Americans have the greatest burden of endothelial dysfunction and hypertension. Recently, gut microbial dysbiosis (a term that describes a poorly diverse gut microbial profile and lower short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production) has been linked to hypertension and may be involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension in African Americans. African Americans have been reported to have lower gut SCFA and SCFA can reduce blood pressure. Exercise reduces blood pressure and improves gut dysbiosis (increases SCFA) and likely couples' improvements in gut microbial health and vascular function to reduce blood pressure. Thus, the goals of this research are to fill a critical void concerning the interaction of gut dysbiosis, hypertension, and utilizing exercise to identify gut microbial adaptations that accompany a reduction in blood pressure. The short-term implications of this work will advance the clinical communities understanding of the relationship between dysbiosis and the pathogenesis of hypertension in African Americans, while long term implications will promote identifying adaptable gut microbes associated with vascular health to aid in amending treatment strategies for hypertension.
This study evaluates the relationship between anemia and stool microbiota in premature infants. It also evaluates the relationship between blood transfusion and stool microbiota.
