  2. 1. Nutritional status in a functional perspective : A study in a cohort of older people in home health care

    Author : Stina Engelheart; Robert Jan Brummer; Heléne Bertéus Forslund; Olle Ljungqvist; Albert Westergren; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Nutritional status; nutrition; home health care; older people; geriatric; meal pattern; dehydration; appetite;

    Abstract : High age is a risk factor for most acute and chronic diseases, injuries and function disabilities, and hence, an important risk factor for nutritional problems. A great deal of elderly health care in Sweden are performed in the patient’s home environment and home health care has been transformed to more advanced medical care the last decades. READ MORE

  4. 2. Non-digestible Polysaccharides and Intestinal Barrier Function : specific focus on its efficacy in elderly and patients with Crohn’s disease

    Author : John-Peter Ganda Mall; Robert Jan Brummer; Ida Schoultz; Åsa Keita; Mikael Wirén; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Non-digestible polysachharides; beta-glucan; arabinoxylan; barrier function; permeability; Ussing chamber; elderly; Crohn’s disease;

    Abstract : A large number of elderly suffer from gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms such as constipation and diarrhoea. The underlying mechanisms of age-acquired GI symptoms are not well studied but are necessary to clarify in order to recommend the right treatment. READ MORE

  5. 3. Faecal Microbiota Transfer in Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Collagenous Colitis : Clinical outcomes and host-microbe interactions

    Author : Savanne Holster; Robert Jan Brummer; Julia König; Andreas Munk Petersen; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Faecal microbiota transfer; irritable bowel syndrome; collagenous colitis; gut microbiota; visceral sensitivity; host-microbe interactions; gene expression; metabolites;

    Abstract : Faecal microbiota transfer (FMT) aims at restoring a disturbed gut microbiotaby introducing faecal material from a healthy donor into a patient’s intestine. This approach is known as a safe and effective treatment in patients with recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection. READ MORE

  6. 4. Modulation of cellular innate immune responses by lactobacilli

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cytokines; immunomodulation; lactobacilli; probiotics; urinary tract infections; urothelium; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Lactobacillus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria frequently used as healthpromoting probiotics. Using probiotics to treat or prevent infections is a novel experimental approach with vast impact on future therapy. READ MORE

  7. 5. Metagenomic Characterization of the Gut Microbiome in Cohorts of Elderly

    Author : Sukithar K Rajan; Dirk Repsilber; Carl Mårten Lindqvist; Robert Jan Brummer; Lars-Gustav Snipen; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gut microbiota; metagenomics; High-Throughput Nucleotide Sequencing; reference sequence database; methods validation; microbial function; host-microbe interaction;

    Abstract : Human gut microbiota plays a vital role in maintaining host health. This thesis aims to investigate the gut microbial population and function using next generation sequencing (NGS) data from faecal samples. Paper I examines the influence of sequencing depth and analysis methods in microbiota profiling using NGS whole genome sequencing (WGS) data. READ MORE
