Faecal transplant, also known as faecal microbiota transplantation or FMT, is the transfer of stool from a healthy donor to a patient with a disease. The idea is to restore the balance of bacteria in the gut, which can be disrupted by factors such as antibiotics, diet, or infection but it could potentially help with a range of problems from irritable bowel syndrome to Alzheimer's.  Why is faecal transplant used? How does faecal transplant work? How is faecal transplant performed? What are the risks of faecal transplant? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

For this Vet Times Extra podcast, Paul Imrie is joined by RCVS advanced practitioner in small animal practice Richard Sanderson and professional services vet for IDEXX Carole MacColl to discuss faecal antigen testing. SPONSORED Parasites pose a serious threat to pets and people. But prevention alone may not be 100% effective. Updated industry guidelines now recommend intestinal parasite testing at least once a year, regardless of deworming. Combine your preventives with Faecal Dx antigen testing, and parasites don't stand a chance. Faecal Dx antigen testing offers early, accurate detection of the most common intestinal parasites, even in well cats and dogs.

Today, we're speaking to Dr Rob Perry, who is a Gastroenterology Clinical Research Fellow based at Imperial College London.Title of paper: Evaluating the Role of Faecal Calprotectin in Older AdultsAvailable at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2025.0169There is considerable uncertainty surrounding the use of FC as a diagnostic test in older adults, with varying suggestions in guidelines and a lack of data in the wider literature. This study investigates the performance of FC in older adults (≥50 years), compared to a younger cohort, with a view to guide its correct use in a primary care setting. These data suggest that FC is a sensitive test for IBD and organic gastrointestinal pathology in both groups. However, concerns remain over its PPV and specificity, particularly in older adults, and it should not be used if colorectal cancer is suspected.Transcript This transcript was generated using AI and has not been reviewed for accuracy. Please be aware it may contain errors or omissions.Speaker A00:00:00.880 - 00:00:49.180Hello and welcome to BJGP Interviews. I'm Nada Khan and I'm one of the Associate Editors of the bjgp. Thanks for taking the time today to listen to this podcast. Today we're speaking to Dr.Rob Perry, who is a gastroenterology Clinical Research Fellow based at Imperial College London. We're here to talk about the paper he's recently published here in the BJGP titled Evaluating the Role of Fecal Calprotectin in Older Adults.So thanks, Rob, for joining me here to talk about your work.And I guess I just really want to preface this by saying that a lot has changed in the last few years just in terms of testing for inflammatory bowel disease and bowel cancer in general practice. But I wonder if you could just talk us through this, some of the different guidelines and why you wanted to do this study.Speaker B00:00:49.660 - 00:02:24.450Oh, yes, thank you for having me.Firstly, and the rationale for the study is that, you know, consultations for gastrointestinal symptoms make up a large number of consultations in primary care. I think the figures around 10%.And whilst fecal cow protection is an increasingly well established test for differentiating between inflammatory bowel disease and functional or other gastrointestinal or non inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases, its role in older adults is far less well established.With varying guidelines for clinicians in primary care, the NICE guidelines make no specific mention, for example, of age, other than that calprotectin should not be used where age is considered a risk factor in the context of certain symptoms. For suspicion of cancer, the BSG guidelines on IBD use a cutoff of 40, above which they suggest calprotectin is not used.The something called the NICE York Fecal cow protectant care pathway suggests an age cut above 60, which is a NICE endorsed pathway. So there's some uncertainty there in the literature about which cutoff should be used for fecal cow protectin.And the reason any cutoff is suggested is because data has previously shown that calprotectin lacks sensitivity for diagnosing colorectal cancer.And as age is considered a risk factor for colorectal cancer, guidelines normally mandate earlier endoscopic evaluation of patients with GI symptoms in older age groups.Speaker A00:02:24.530 - 00:02:39.170And can you just talk us through briefly what you did here? So you looked at patients referred for a colonoscopy at one single centre, so at Imperial College Healthcare Trust.But just talk us through...

A fundamental basic of ruminant nutrition – energy density of feeds – is covered in this latest Rumen Room Podcast. Expressed as Megajoules of Metabolisable Energy per kilogram of dry matter (MJME/kgDM), energy density is an important driver of animal productivity and profitability. In a down to earth, practical “gumboot level” manner, Dr Charlotte Westwood explores the basics of MJME as a concept and covers how feed testing laboratories measure MJME. How we use MJME values of a feed on farm on a day to day basis is explained. The strengths and possible limitations with the use of MJME in our day to day farm-level decisions is discussed. Don't be put off by what is often thought to be a rather "dry" topic of MJME - actually, it's a straightforward concept - we're sure you'll learn a lot from this latest podcast! Here's where to find the various sections within the MJME podcast, below: 2.02 Outline of this MJME podcast 3.40 What is “energy”? 6.30 Defining Megajoules and Metabolisable Energy 7.50 Megajoules compared to Megacalories – what's the difference? 10.25 What is gross energy and why might we be interested? 14.25 Why ruminants can't use all of gross energy in feeds for useful things 15.10 Faecal energy – what a waste! (#1) 16.10 Digestible energy 17.25 Methane – what a waste! (#2) 18.10 Finally arriving at the MJME number…. How this is calculated 19.00 How different feeds change energy losses as methane 21.00 Measuring MJME – inside the sheep 23.00 Feed testing laboratories estimates of MJME 25.40 Using the digestibility value to calculate MJME 26.20 NIRS technology - digestibility and MJME 31.15 Strengths and weaknesses of MJME as a measure of feed quality – an overview 32.00 Typical MJME values of feed 34.40 Valuing our feeds on a cents per MJME basis – a simple task on farm! Valuing a bale of pasture baleage on an MJME basis as an example 38.00 Using MJME as part of your feed budgeting – MJME demand vs. MJME supply. A 30kg liveweight lamb as an example 40.30 Limitations of MJME as an indicator of suitability of a feed for animals 41.30 MJME is a calculated measure only! 42.00 MJME doesn't tell us about all of the other interesting stuff in feeds 44.10 Summing up the MJME topic

Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common type of cancer in the UK, with over 40,000 new cases each year. The positive predictive value of Faecal immunochemical testing (FIT) far exceeds that of symptoms and makes FIT an important tool for triaging patients with symptoms suggestive of colorectal cancer to the right diagnostic pathway. In this podcast Dr Thomas Round, a GP and EKU Clinical Lead, talks to Dr Kevin Barrett, a GP in Hertfordshire with a special interest in gastroenterology, about faecal immunochemical testing in patients with signs or symptoms of suspected colorectal cancer (CRC)

Welcome to another podcast exploring management of bowel dysfunction!   Alison Hainsworth asks a panel of experts  -  Julie Cornish, Liliana Bordeianou and Emily Hoile - to help us to understand how we can look after our patients with faecal incontinence. We look at treatments - ranging from conservative measures to surgical intervention. We aim to offer practical advice as to how we can best serve our patients!  Registration for ICS 2023 Toronto is now open at www.ics.org/2023/register The ICS annual meeting is the must-attend, multidisciplinary event for clinical and research scientists interested in: Urology Urogynaecology Female and functional urology Gynaecology Bowel dysfunction Neurourology Pure and applied science Physiotherapy Nursing Geriatrics The ICS 2023 Toronto conference fosters collaboration between all disciplines involved in continence care.

Faecal incontinence affects one in 25 women in postpartum and today, Claire shares her experience. She takes us briefly through her labour and birth and details the confronting realisation that she had no control of her anal sphincter. Thanks to a women's health physiotherapist who demanded horizontal rest - essential for all new mothers! - pelvic floor exercises and dietary changes, Claire recovered by six weeks. She emphasises how important it is to share her story because she had never heard of it happening before and wondered if it was her new reality; a challenging prospect at a very vulnerable time. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we talk to Mr James Bailey, a Colorectal Research Fellow from the Nottingham Colorectal Service. Paper: Sociodemographic Variations in the Uptake of Faecal Immunochemical Tests in Primary CareAvailable at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2023.0033FIT is increasingly used to triage patients with symptoms suggestive of colorectal cancer but variations in use by demographics, ethnicity and socioeconomic status are unknown. We show, in a large regional dataset, that male patients, patients under 65 years, the most deprived patients and ethnic minority groups are less likely to return a FIT sample. It is important that strategies are developed to ensure patients with these protected characteristics are not disadvantaged with the increasing usage of FIT to prioritise urgency of investigations.

What are the major monitoring tools that are available? When and how often should you be performing wormer treatments in the first place? What's the difference between a good and a bad faecal egg count sample? And, what does resistance really mean? These are just some of the questions that we'll be tackling. Host: Ben EagleCo-host: Lesley StubbingsGuests: Rebecca Mearns (Senior Veterinary Advisor at Biobest) and Anna Hawke (farming near Salisbury).

Our latest episode features guest speaker Dr Ginny Dodunski who joins Rumen Room host Dr Charlotte Westwood for a chat about all things internal parasites. As a New Zealand-based veterinarian and self proclaimed “gumboot parasitologist”, Ginny requires little introduction to most kiwis involved in farming. With a background in veterinary practice, farm consultancy and more recently, working part time with Wormwise, Ginny joins us to cover a range of topics relating to internal parasite management in sheep and cattle. Given the concerning scale of resistance by internal parasites to our range of anthelmintic (drench) products, Ginny steps us through a range of down to earth, practical recommendations to managing internal parasites – including the important role for top quality nutrition for maternal and young stock. Anyone who is involved in managing young stock should tune in - there will be some  practical tips and tricks for everyone.

Faecal transplant, also known as faecal microbiota transplantation or FMT, is the transfer of stool from a healthy donor to a patient with a disease. The idea is to restore the balance of bacteria in the gut, which can be disrupted by factors such as antibiotics, diet, or infection but it could potentially help with a  range of problems from irritable bowel syndrome to Alzheimer's.  Why is faecal transplant used? How does faecal transplant work? How is faecal transplant performed? What are the risks of faecal transplant?  In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Gut Immune Body Brain Axis.Dr Gundry:Leaky Gut, gut microbiome and dietRenowned Cardiovascular Surgeon who realised that all he was doing was treating thesymptoms so he studied the underlying causes.The lining of the gut is one cell thickAs bacteria break down the gut that is when ageing startsIbuprofen or roundup disastrous the bacteria populationSkin is a mirror of the lining of the gutJoints do not naturally wear out.Animal model C Elegans as bacteria begin to break down the wall of the gut that is whenageing starts105 year old people have a diverse set of bugs identical to a healthy 30 year old. It is notattacking the wall of the gut.Ecermansia musinophilia. Lives in the mucous layer whose job is to trap lectins plantproteins looking for sugar molecules and to protect the wall of the gut from harmful bacteria.Ecermansia musinophilia eats mucus which in turn makes more mucus.Metformin works by increasing mucous and this change in bacteria makes some peoplehave mild diarrhoea as the bacteria change.If we damage this lining eg ibuprofen or food with roundup destroys the bacteria populationand gut lining.Glyocosade an antibacterial damages Ecermansia Musinophilia even though it does notdirectly affect human cells.Antibiotics in food or direct prescription eg ladies who take low dose for UTI have a higherincidence of heart disease.Heart disease is an autoimmune disease starting in the gut.Cholesterol is an innocent bystander which gets sucked into the inflamed wall of a bloodvessel.Infants with heart transplants have coronary artery disease with pathology identical withtypical coronary artery disease.Lectins which are a foreign protein which can stick to sugar molecules on the surface ofblood vessels are the cause of atherosclerosis and removing lectins reduces those markers.Lectins are one of the plant defence systems. Sticky proteins that look for specific sugarmolecules to stick to which insights an inflammtory response.Joints do not normally wear out. Usually you can find bacterial particles in the joint fluid ofarthritisBecauseLectins broke down the wall of the gut. 65% of the immune system is behind the wall of thegut because the gut is where the outside word gets through. A reason why we store fat inthe gut is to provide energy to the immune system. Similarly fat on the outside ofatherosclerotcic blood vessles correlates with the severity of inflammation.Fat is not the cause . It is there because of the inflammation and the inflammation is theredue to the leaky gut.The immune system responds to antigens on bacteria of viruses. Lectins have antigens withcross reactivity with other proteins in the body. Eg thyroid.Nightshade vegetables or peanutsLectins disrupt the microbiome and break up the lining of the gut allowing entry by lectinsand by bacteria or bacterial particles.Hence if you inject a bacterial lipopolysaccharide into a person you can induce septic shock.Alzheimers Parkinsons is neuroinflammation.Most amyloid is produced by bacteria in the gut. Therefore 40 billion dollars invested inantiamyloid drugs has been a waste because amyloid is produced by the amyloid producingbacteria inthe gut fet by western diet. Then the amyloid has to get through the wall of the gut.Once they get through the gut wall and goto the brain it will produce more amyloid.Cholesterol and amyloid coexist in dementia in those with the apoE gene.The apo E gene codes for a carrier molecule because it is less efficient at transportingcholesterol. It cannot get out of the cell after it has been attracted by inflammation.Faecal microbial transplant:1970s broad spectrum antibiotics came out which made it much quicker to treat infectionsbut it also wiped out the gut bacteria. Normally 10000 species of bacteria.Pseudomembranous colitis was caused by Clostridium Difficile over growing. Initial studydone from the faeces of medical students.Faecal enemas treated the pseudomembranous colitis.Meat with animals treated by antibiotics can also cause problems.60% of faeces is bacteriaOral microbiome and cloud of bacteria around us –Holobiome . This defines our personalspace.Kissing is a human and ape characteristic. Exchanging oral microbiome. Bacteria decidewhether the other person's bacteria are compatible with them.Women have a gut feeling because they are more capable of listening to their microbiome. We inherit our microbiome from our mother. All of the mitochondria are involved with bacteriainherited from our mother. Bacteria communicate to their ‘sisters 'ie the body's mitochondria.Autism: kids have a different microbiome than ‘normal'The placental microbiome is important in educating the foetal immune system.Oral faecal transplants for 6 weeks in autistic kids. Almost immediately 50% autismsymptoms reduced.Ecermansia like tubers, mushrooms, -study in Asia find 90% reduction in Alzheimers withtwo cups of mushrooms a week.Inulin containing compounds eg chicory, radicchio, jerusalem artichoke.Exercise women who exercise routinely from midlife have a 90% reduction in Alzheimers. Inthose who get AD it happens 11 years later. Housework can be important part of exercise.Meditation and yoga also changes the gut microbiome.Lymph system in the brain in deep sleep -early in the sleep cycle-shrinks by 20% and thesebad proteins are squeezed out. You need a 3-4 hour window between sleep and dinnerbecause blood flow diverts to the gut.Olive oil /walnuts / mediterranean low fat diet: first two groups improved memory after 5years. 3rd group lost memoryThose with CVD had a 30% reduction in events, the low fat group continued CVS events.Polyphenos in olive oil grow proteinsTMAO is made by gut bacteria primarily from animal protein especially choline eg egg yolkand carnitine . TMAO damages blood vessels. Polyphenols in certain olive oil and red winebalsamic vinegar that paralyse enzyme systems in the bacteria so they do not make TMAO.However the logical error here is that eggs which are high in choline are not associated withincreased morbidity.Vitamin D at least 5000 units a day . Almost all cancer patietns and autoimmune pateitnshave low vitamin D. HIgher your VItamin D the longer your telomere. Stem cells in the gutare simulated by vitamin D.VItamin CLectins are present in most plant foods but especially high in:legumes, such as beans, lentils, peas, soybeans, and peanutsnightshade vegetables, such as tomatoes and eggplantdairy products, including milkgrains, such as barley, quinoa, and riceThe Roll of Inflammation in Depression and FatigueFrontiers In Immunology:CH Lee 2019:Immune system link to depression first noticed with immunotherapy eg INFa (which activates an inflammatory antiviral response) for Hepatitis C : associated with raised proinflammatory cytokines and depression and fatigue.20% of patients treated with INFa developed depression which resolved on discontinuationbut also increased the risk of depression in future.Also people with higher IL6 aged 9 were more likely to have depression aged 18 in a dosedependent manner.Innate immune system seems to be lower in depression eg NK cells and also less antiinflammatory regulatory T cells whereas inflammatory monocytes are activated.There is commonality in immune activation from autoimmune disorder such as multiplesclerosis or immune reactions in sepsis.Antidepressants reduce inflammation while a higher baseline level of inflammation predicts apoorer treatment response.People with depression have been shown to have higher inflammatory markers which canbe used to predict treatment efficacy and future recurrences of depression.Elevated inflammatory markets eg TNFa after an MI disrupt the blood brain barrier causingdepression.Inflammatory changes in the brain with raised TNFa in the hippocampus and striatumprecede development of depressive symptoms.Neurogenesis is inhibited by the kynurenine pathway which is rescued by both inhibitors ofthis pathway and traditional antidepressants.TNFa also increases glutamate release causing exocytotic damage to surroundingsneurones.Conditions associated with chronic immune activation such as asthma, atopy, diabetes mMS, RhA, SLE are all associated with raised levels of depression eg 36% of asthma havedepression who also had higher TNFa than those who were not depressed. 75% in RhAMS up to 50% risk of depression.Acute inflammation with sepsis also causes depression and raises the risk of depression infuture which in animal models can be reduced by using steroid during the acute sepsis.Antidepressants reduce inflammatory markers perhaps SNRI more effective than SSRI andalso ECT adds in return to normal of NK activity.Directly reducing the immune response eg anti TNF a or Caspase Inhibitors have beenshown to reduce depression. Rituximab which is an antibody that targets and depletes Bcells in the treatment of RhA also reduces depression.Aspirin can reduce depression but can also reduce the effect of an SSRI.

Ja, dat klinkt nogal vies. Maar dat is precies waar onderzoekers naar gekeken hebben: kan het transplanteren van poepmicroben veroudering tegengaan?  Het transplanteren van deze microben van de ene persoon naar de andere heeft al langer de aandacht van onderzoekers. Zo is al gekeken of op die manier problemen met darmflora opgelost kunnen worden. Dan worden de goedwerkende microben van een donor, geplaatst bij iemand waarbij het darm-microbioom verstoord is.   Nu hebben onderzoekers bij muizen gekeken: wat gebeurt er als we de microben van jong naar oud transplanteren? Ze zagen dat door dit te doen, veroudering in de darm, ogen en hersenen deels teruggedraaid kon worden. Draaiden ze het experiment om en plaatsten ze microben van oude muizen in jonge muizen, dan kregen deze muizen allemaal vervelende klachten.   Het team van onderzoekers wil nu nog kijken hoe de microben nou precies deze veranderingen ingang zetten en hoe lang het effect aanhoudt.
