Significance of Fiber in gut bacteria

Fiber as a control of gut bacteria
There are many different compositions for the bacteria and some researchers argue that the bacteria can be beneficial in one way or the other. On the other hand, it can result to different health problems. Actually, some researchers and health practitioners have associated bacteria with increasing incidences of obesity and diabetes.
Researchers have recommended fiber
As a result, the researchers have recommended the use of fiber as a way to control the gut bacteria and some associated health problems. A team of researchers carried out a research about the effect of changes in diet and the effects of fiber on the gut bacteria. The researchers from Stanford university school of medicine wanted to determine the effect of a single gut microbe species referred to as Akkermansia municiphilla. According to the researchers, the individuals had variant levels of Akkermansia, and the effects differed.
The legislation on certain food bans is not helpful, causing much damage
Date: October 31st, 2015
Food ban is not beneficial
In most cases, the food banks are implemented as a way of improving healthy living through healthy lifestyles. However, this is not among the successful processes in different ways. Studies have shown that this process is resulting to too much risk to the individuals and the environment despite the plans for better living.
Levels of health issues
The bans involve eradication of the unintended food products such as the recent ban of the Trans fats. The fats result to high levels of health issues as such as contributing to high chances of heart diseases and obesity among other. However, this process is not successful despite the legislation measures for the control of the fats because the manufacturers are using these opportunity to replace the fats with other types of oils.
Young donors with high T cell counts make better matches for stem cell transplant patients
Date: October 30th, 2015
Young and unrelated donors with high counts of T cells
Donor and a patient that match T cells have low chances for relapse of the disease after transplant.
Importance of T cells in stem transplants
In the stem cell transplants the cells are replaced with new cells thus identification of healthy stem cells is essential to prevent future heath related issues such as disease relapse. According to a recent study in the journal of clinical oncology, matching the patients is one key factor in a transplant process. In addition, the study suggests that unrelated donors with high number of the t cells counts are the best donors for the stem transplants patients.
Alzheimer’s disease: A real threat if not checked
Date: October 29th, 2015
MRI evidence indicates changes in brain may occur prior to amyloidal deposition. It develops gradually especially affects ADAD mutant carriers.
Alzheimer disease is fatal and according to researchers, it has no cure. Its predisposition affects the mutant carriers and thus can develop early especially among the children carrying genetic mutation for the disease. According to research by Quiroz in the department of psychiatry in Massachusetts general hospital, suggest that ADAD mutant carriers can develop as early as possible among the children with a high certainty unlike the non-carriers who have no brain abnormalities.
Did you know where you live matters when it comes to Type 2 Diabetes?
Date: October 28th, 2015
Social Determinants of diabetes
Social factors such as availability of environmental resources contribute to high incidences of diabetes type 2. Understanding the social and environment resources is important in the fight against diabetes.
Social and environmental determinants
The social and environmental conditions and resources are the immediate conditions that can affect your health by a large extent. These resources have great relationships with the incidences of diabetes as establishes by a recent study by Michigan school of public health.
Detecting Pneumonia app could save many lives
Date: October 26th, 2015
It is essential to dedicate resources in the control and prevention of pneumonia. Development of an app for diagnosis is a step to the right direction.
Development of a new app for detecting pneumonia
Pneumonia is a serious issue that greatly affects children, especially under five years. Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that can cause mild and severe illness to people of all ages. However, the disease is mainly prevalent among children hence diagnosis can help in control through early treatment.
Cystic fibrosis for Hispanic patients could be deadly
Date: October 25th, 2015
Cystic fibrosis-The genetic disease
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that affects people causing serious Lund and digestive problems. Despite the specialty in health care for Hispanic patients, cystic fibrosis is a great challenge that increases the mortality rate among these patients. According to the study by Stanford university school of medicine, there are genetic differences between the Hispanic with and without cystic fibrosis.
Researchers discover new genetic form of obesity and diabetes
Date: October 24th, 2015
Besides these, there are also other genes that alter unexpectedly causing diabetes. These conditions are usually passed on from one family member to the next. Many of the causes of obesity and diabetes have been found out by medics and ways to control them discovered. However, there still are many others that are yet to be discovered and it is still uncertain how many people suffer from these undiscovered mutated genes.
