Article Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the intestinal microbiota development in the first week of life of preterm newborns (PTNB) treated at a public hospital in a municipality in the Brazilian Northeast.
Methods: This is an observational, longitudinal, and descriptive study with 23 PTNBs. Two stool samples were collected from each neonate (fasting/meconium and seventh day of life) for stool microbiota analysis by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The authors analyzed alpha diversity (Chao1, Shannon, and Simpson indices) and principal coordinates of beta diversity.
Results: Forty-six stool samples from 23 PTNBs were analyzed at the taxonomic level. Microbiota's development was dynamic with low diversity. The authors observed a statistical association with the genera Enterobacterales, Streptococcus, Bacteroides, Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1, Enterococcus, and Bifidobacterium in the fasting samples when compared to the day-7 samples. The genus Staphylococcus also dominated at both times.
Conclusion: Dynamics were observed in the intestinal microbiota development, with an alpha diversity decrease in the stool samples collected at fasting/meconium and on the seventh day of life.

Background: This study aims to analyze research trends and emerging insights into gut microbiota studies from 2015 to 2024 through bibliometric analysis techniques. By examining bibliographic data from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection, it seeks to identify key research topics, evolving themes, and significant shifts in gut microbiota research. The study employs co-occurrence analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), and burst detection analysis to uncover latent patterns and the development trajectory of this rapidly expanding field.

Background: The brain-gut-microbiome (BGM) axis is a communication network through which the brain and gastrointestinal microbiota interact via neural, hormonal, immune, and gene expression mechanisms. Gut microbiota dysbiosis is thought to contribute to neurocognitive disorders, including perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PND), and to various metabolic abnormalities. Recently, we reported that sevoflurane induces neurocognitive deficits in exposed rats as well as their future offspring, with male offspring being particularly affected (intergenerational PND).

Purpose Of Review: This review aims to characterize the known cardiovascular (CV) manifestations associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and the underlying mechanisms driving these associations.
Recent Findings: Gut dysbiosis, a hallmark of patients with IBD, can result in both local and systemic inflammation, thereby potentially increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the IBD population. Micronutrient deficiencies, anemia, and sarcopenia independently increase the risk of CVD and are frequent comorbidities of patients with IBD.

Bifidobacteria are naturally found in the human gut and quickly establish dominance shortly after birth, playing a crucial role in the development and stability of the infant gut microbiota. A growing body of research suggests that host and environmental factors shape the colonization and the relative abundance of bifidobacteria in the infant gut during early life. Understanding the factors that influence bifidobacterial colonization and maintaining normal colonization levels are keys to ensuring gut health.
