Relative abundance of Megamonas hypermegale and Butyrivibrio species decreased in the intestine and its possible association with the T cell aberration by metabolite alteration in patients with Behcet’s disease (210 characters)

We have previously demonstrated that the phylum Actinobacteria, the family Lactobacillaceae, and the genus Bifidobacterium increased in relative abundance of gut microbiota in patients with Behcet’s disease (BD)....

FDG-PET in a case of multiple bone metastases of gastric cancer

F-18 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) is useful for surveys to detect bone metastasis because of its greater specificity than bone scintigraphy. However, FDG-PET is also known t...
