.@TilvesC is on a roll! This time he is giving a talk on the association of #microbiota composition & diversity w/ trunk fat in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study Of Aging (#BLSA). #EPILifestyle22 @JHUWelchCenter

[Mingyu Zhang, PhD, MHS, FAHA @MingyuZhangPhD]

Moira @differding_ found that higher gut #microbiota diversity and abundance of butyrogenic bacteria are associated with pulse wave velocity in the #Baltimore Longitudinal of Aging (#BLSA) study. #EPILifestyle22 @JHUWelchCenter @JohnsHopkinsEPI

Human Milk Bacteria: Seeding Infant Gut? @differding_ @noeltmueller discuss @MeghanAzad study that sequenced #breastmilk & infant stool samples from mother-infant dyads to investigate co-occurrence of milk-gut #bacteria &impact of #breastfeeding practices https://t.co/Barh1mOfTV

Yo #AcademicChat and #EpiTwitter, thinking about racism/capitalism and it's so unfortunate that some in positions of power are still surprised it occurs in #academia. It's even more sad that instead of accountable changes, we still fall back on passive efforts #BlackInIvory 1/n

[Mingyu Zhang, PhD, MHS, FAHA @MingyuZhangPhD]

Also from @JohnsHopkinsEPI & @JHUWelchCenter is @differding_ who examined the associations between #hypertension & the gut #microbiota & serum #SCFA in 111 cancer survivors

‼️Higher acetate & SCFA-producing bacteria were associated w/ lower BP

New publication! We found that prenatal #antibiotic exposure, particularly in the 2nd trimester, affects #infant gut #microbiome composition & #adiposity measures (weight & skinfold thicknesses). @noeltmueller @differding_ @JohnsHopkinsEPI @JHUWelchCenter https://t.co/D31s70XKDs

corncob 🌽🌽 preprint now available on arXiv! Fantastic work by @BryanDMartin_ and @daniela_witten -- an R package for analysing relative abundance of 16S/amplicon data #microbiome #rstats #opensource https://t.co/FJ3vMuRvia 🌽🌽

Early life exposures might influence later immune-mediated diseases. A new longitudinal study shows that preterm & term children differ at birth but converge onto a shared trajectory, which is hampered by early gut bacterial dysbiosis via @CellPressNews https://t.co/s1fSc32uDp

"When multiple fecal samples per subject were used, the model was able to predict whether someone had Crohn’s disease better even than biopsy samples" https://t.co/zdV42sXRnP

[CMI @ UC San Diego @CMIdigest]

Researchers at @UCSanDiego have found that sampling the gut #microbiome over time can provide insights that are not available with a single time point. This could help doctors and researchers more accurately determine if a patient has Crohn's disease: https://t.co/X4eCPShli1
