Microscopic Colitis After Fecal Microbiota Transplant
Microscopic colitis (MC) is an inflammatory condition of the large bowel that is associated with chronic, nonbloody diarrhea. Colonoscopy usually demonstrates normal mucosa, while tissue biopsy reveals intraepithelial lymphocytes or a subepithelial collagen band.

متن کاملFecal microbiota in pouchitis and ulcerative colitis
AIM To investigate the changes in microbiota in feces of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and pouchitis using genomic technology. METHODS Fecal samples were obtained from UC patients with or without an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) procedure, as well as healthy controls. The touchdown polymerase chain reaction technique was used to amplify the whole V3 region of the 16S rRNA gene, ...
متن کاملFecal Microbiota Transplant: Benefits and Risks
We commend the authors of “Weight Gain After Fecal Microbiota Transplantation” for describing this case of obesity after a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT). Fecal microbiota transplant is a highly effective therapy for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (r-CDI), and the authors discuss possible unintended consequences in a patient after successful FMT, which could be due to alteration o...
متن کاملFecal Microbiota Transplantation as a Novel Therapy for Ulcerative Colitis
Variation in clinical evidence has prevented the adoption of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the efficacy and safety of FMT in UC.A systematic literature search was performed in 5 electronic databases from inception through September 2015. Inclusion criteria were reports of FM...
متن کاملFecal Microbiota Transplantation for Ulcerative Colitis: Not Just Yet.
exome sequencing studies of sporadic tumors, this discovery is noteworthy in that it provides a new and rational target for investigation. IPMK is an inositol phosphate kinase, and the authors describe a link between IPMK and p53-mediated apoptosis. It will be important to understand the importance of this interaction in the context of homeostasis and transformation of enteroendocrine cells. Pr...
