INTRODUCTION: Although colonoscopy is considered the gold standard for detection and removal of premalignant polyps, up to 26% of lesions are missed in tandem studies. Computer-aided polyp detection (CADe) has shown promise in increasing polyp detection rates…
BACKGROUND: Aspirin has been known for its chemopreventive effect against various cancers. Evidence for the chemopreventive effect of the very long-term use of aspirin is still uncertain…
BACKGROUND: Through shotgun metagenomic sequencing, we identified the depletion of probiotic species_ Lactobacillus acidophilus_ in stools of mice with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (NAFLD-HCC)…
BACKGROUND: Gut dysbiosis is associated with persistent multi-system symptoms following SARS-CoV-2 infection, or post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS). We performed a randomised controlled trial to assess the effects of gut microbiome modulation on alleviation of PACS symptoms…
BACKGROUND: Post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS) affects sleep and neuropsychiatric functions but treatment is limited. We aimed to assess the effects of faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in alleviating post-COVID insomnia and anxiety…
BACKGROUND Emerging data support the importance of gut microbiome alterations in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) but their role as non-invasive biomarkers for IBD has not been unexplored…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: We previously identified a fecal bacterial gene marker ‘_m3_’ from an unclassified bacterium to be significantly increased in patients with colorectal cancer and adenoma (Liang et al. Gut 2020)…
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Whether pathogenic bacteria promoting colorectal cancer (CRC), such as _Fusobacterium nucleatum_ (_Fn_), can be inhibited by specific beneficial bacteria and the mechanisms of action have not been investigated…
INTRODUCTION: Gut dysbiosis has been associated with suboptimal antibody response after vaccination. We aimed to evaluate the oral microbiome immunity formula (SIM01) in enhancing immunogenicity after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in vulnerable populations…
