Is all cholesterol bad? Of course not. We have got to get away from the linear thinking that plagues medicine. This article proposes and supports a protective claim of lipoproteins: VLDL, LDL, Lp(a), and HDL. Even shown to protect against bacterial, viral, LPS, and parasitic infectious damage.
C. leptum, C. coccoides, Bacteroides and Bifidobacterium represent the four dominant groups of the adult fecal microbiota
Lactobacilli Enterobacteriaceae, Desulfovibrio, Sporomusa, Atopobium as well as other bacterial groups including Clostridium clusters XI, XIVb, and XVIII
The Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio undergoes an increase from birth to adulthood and is further altered with advanced age
The microbiota of the large intestine plays an important role in host metabolism and
maintenance of host health
Our results defining a standard adult profile, together with previous reports, showed
that C. leptum, C. coccoides, Bacteroides and Bifidobacterium represent the four dominant groups of the adult fecal microbiota
Sub-dominant groups are Lactobacilli Enterobacteriaceae, Desulfovibrio, Sporomusa, Atopobium as well as other bacterial groups including Clostridium clusters XI, XIVb, and XVIII
In infant fecal microbiota, we observed Bifidobacterium as the dominant group
this observation is strongly related to diet, being enhanced by breast
feeding
Significant higher numbers
of Bifidobacterium were observed in infants versus adults and seniors
the gastrointestinal tract
is first colonized by facultative anaerobes, such as E. coli
Strict anaerobes, such as Clostridium, colonize at later stages, as can be seen by the relatively low levels of C. leptum and C. coccoides in infants
diet
change must be considered among the primary causes for such a shift of microbiota
between infants and adults.
In the case of elderly subjects, our qPCR results indicated a significant increase
in the counts of E. coli when compared to adults. This data is consistent with other publications indicating
that elderly subjects harbor a different E. coli microbiota profile compared to younger adults
a number of authors reported a reduction
in the numbers and diversity of many protective commensal anaerobes, such as Bacteroides and Bifidobacteria
The Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratio was already shown to be of significant relevance in signaling human gut microbiota
status
Our measurements of the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio in adults obtained by our species-specific qPCR are in agreement with those
obtained by Ley et al
Compared with young adults, the elderly have a different digestive physiology, characterized
at a physiological level by a reduction in transit and of digestive secretions
The Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio undergoes an increase from birth to adulthood and is further altered with advanced
age
Good discussion of the gut microbiome. Age effects the gut bacteria balance. The Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio increases from young, to young adult, to the elderly in this study. Is this simply a reflection of aging or is the a biomarker that can be changed through diet and targeted probiotics?
Long foreskin
It was a situation in which he was always so shy when he opened his eyes even though he could easily go out easily, without pain, without tightening. Even when "greeting the flag" he kept hiding the ball under the glans or just poking out. Must have to wait for the hand of "big brother" to slide down to bear the road to see the world around.
When you have a clear understanding of the above concepts, the men of the race race to wonder, "Why is the foreskin of my friend not narrowed but why are my and my brother's bad luck?". The doctor asked for the correct answer, partly because of his bad luck, from birth to growing up, the foreskin was like that, "keep loving and protecting the foreskin." But it is not uncommon for other reasons to make men suffer because of foreskin:
First, we have to recall the untimely and improper foreskin effects of parents when children are young. It is these overly "anxious" actions of parents that have counterproductive and narrowed down the latter.
There are some autoimmune diseases, making the foreskin a fibrous day, loss of elasticity, gradually worsening, called BXO (balanitisxerotica obliterans) - a narrowed glans. This can also be interpreted as a form of glans, which can even cause narrowing of the urinary tract to lead to urinary retention.
Some cases of glans and foreskin have been repeatedly infected by microbiological agents (bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc.), which can be re-infected and non-stop treatment is also available. can lead to complications of fibrosis and secondary stenosis
