Researchers have found a specific bacterial profile in the gut of people with pulmonary arterial hypertension, a chronic and progressive disease that causes constriction of arteries in the lungs.
The unique bacterial profile predicted pulmonary arterial hypertension with 83% accuracy.
Really interesting. I'm on an unauthorized cookie break so haven't read this as carefully as I would otherwise do. But it's a fascinating and potentially hopeful discovery.
That is interesting . More attention should be paid to the possibility of other gut micobiota patterns with other non-gut) diseases.
And consideration paid by the new therapy of transferring poo with its specific bacteria to other people. . Too little known about that.
Depends on whether PAH proves to be cause or result of specific bacteria.
Mine was blamed on scleroderma. But we don't know what causes that
Bit off topic but during WW2 in the far east pacific....
prisoners of the Japanese were deliberately starved and tropical illness went untreated, dysentery etc...
Some ex prisoners developed similar condition to one you have mentioned.
Research and care for these ex prisoners was carried out for over 40yrs by Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine....
If anyone hears of anything that can be taken by mouth to counteract the bacteria, please let us know.
