Reevaluating fecal microbiota transplantation for recurrent clostridium difficile infection
… for CDI. Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) has emerged as a novel therapy for recurrent CDI, but the majority of the literature to date is made up of uncontrolled case series, so FMT’s true efficacy compared with standard antibiotic regimens remains unknown. Only a few randomized …

Microbial Manipulation as a Therapy in Crohn's Disease
… I conducted the first systematic review of the FMT efficacy data in Crohn’s disease, which has highlighted the absence of high-quality research evaluating this question. The MIRO (Microbial Restoration in Crohn’s disease) study is the first study, using a randomised placebo-controlled trial …

Development of novel therapies for gut dysbioses
… research in Faecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT). FMT was first used at CDD in 1988 in a patient with indeterminate colitis - the first patient world-wide treated for colitis and cured. Generally Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is treated with FMT at CDD with a cure rate exceeding 95%. …

Modulation of TGFβ1-induced Fibroblast-to-Myofibroblast Transition in response to Prostaglandin E2 Production by Human Rhinovirus-Infected Airway Epithelial Cells
… airway. Fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition (FMT) is an airway remodeling phenomenon whereby fibroblasts develop phenotypic characteristics of myofibroblasts. This increase in myofibroblasts leads to the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix proteins, leading to the thickening of the …

Using Culturomics to Characterize the Gastrointestinal Microbiota of Donors for Patients with Bipolar Disorder Experiencing Depression
… and behaviour. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been shown to alter the gut bacterial composition of recipients. In a phase 2/3 double-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) completed in 2022, participants diagnosed with BD were randomized 1:1 to receive either rigorously screened and …

The Gut Microbiome as a Novel Approach for Reversing Long-Term Inflammation and Accelerated Aging Across the Lifespan
… successful fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). Mass spectrometry metabolomics measured alterations in tryptophan pathways.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: Aged mice displayed a distinct peripheral immune cell profile, characterized by an expanded population of CD11bhigh B cells that …

Investigating the role of the gut microbiota on immune checkpoint inhibitor-mediated colitis
… that received fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) as a salvage therapy for treatment of refractory IMC. A majority of patients (83%) achieved symptom improvement after one FMT treatment, while 92% achieved IMC clinical remission by the end of the study following repeat FMT. We found that …

Development of image-based surgical planning software for bone-conduction implants
… The size of its floating mass transducer (FMT) can preclude implantation in certain anatomies, necessitating comprehensive surgical planning. Current techniques are time consuming and difficult to transfer to the operating room. The objective of this thesis was to develop software for …

Computational insights into the ecology of the human microbiota
… the use of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) to treat recurrent Clostridium difficile infection. I develop a new method to infer the genotypes and frequencies of bacterial strains in metagenomics samples. I apply this method to a dataset covering twenty patients before and after FMT, …

Diffusion Tensor Imaging: Evaluation of Tractography Algorithm Performance Using Ground Truth Phantoms
… tensor model. Fast Marching Tractography (FMT) algorithms based on fast marching level set methods have been proposed to better handle the presence of IVOH in DTI data when compared to older Streamline Tractography (SLT) methods. However, the actual performance advantage of any tractography …

Towards Phage Therapy: Characterization of Clostridioides difficile Bacteriophages from a South African Strain Collection
… settings. Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is highly effective but may pose a risk to immunocompromised individuals. Phage therapy is being increasingly investigated as a therapy option, notably for persons who cannot receive FMT. However, the host and regional specificity of C. …

Towards Using Free Memory to Improve Microarchitecture Performance
… Free-memory-aware Microarchitecture Techniques (FMTs). In the context of HPC systems, we present a detailed example of an FMT called Free-memory-aware Replication (FMR). FMR replicates in-use data to unused memory locations to effectively reduce average memory read latency. On average across five …
