    Abstract : Nausea and vomiting are among the most common symptoms of early pregnancy. Its most extreme form Hyperemesis gravidarum often requires hospitalization and has been linked as a risk factor of perinatal depression. READ MORE

  3. 2. The impact of prebiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics on mild cognitive impairment : a systematic review

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Astrid Viktorsson; Noah Westerholm; [2023]
    Keywords : MCI; Mild cognitive Impairment; Prebiotics; Probiotics; Synbiotics; DW2009; Bifidobacterium Breve A1; RBANS; MMSE.;

    Abstract : Background: Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is seen as a state between normal aging and dementia, with patients having an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other sorts of dementia. MCI has been linked to a change in gut microbiota which impacts the microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA), consequently affecting neurological functions. READ MORE

  4. 3. Developing a Method to Study the Impact of Microbial DNA on the Brain Related to Alzheimer’s Disease – Can Food Make a Change?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Keywords : DNA extraction; Microbiome DNA enrichment; Host DNA depletion; 16S rRNA sequencing; Alzheimer’s disease; Gut-brain axis; Microbiota; Microbial DNA; Black currant; Applied Nutrition and Food Chemistry; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Understanding the gut-brain-microbiota axis can help us provide a new tool to manage conditions such as Alzheimer’s. However, a major challenge is selectively amplifying the bacterial DNA which is present at a much lower level than the host DNA. READ MORE

  5. 4. A Systematic Review of Time-Restricted Eating's Effect on Gut Microbiota and How It May Contribute to Cognitive Function

    Abstract : Diabetes has caused many deaths worldwide but can be combated at least partially by diet and physical activity. The gut microbiome shows correlation with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, has modulatory effects on the immune system and implicates brain functions through the gut-brain axis, in part by microbial metabolites.
