Probiotics in the Management of Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis Patients: A Randomized, Double-Blind Trial to Evaluate a Possible Link Between Gut Microbiota Restoring and Symptom Re... by Cristina Vocca, Diana Marisol Abrego-Guandique, Erika Cione, Vincenzo Rania, Gianmarco Marcianò, Caterina Palleria, Luca Catarisano, Manuela Colosimo, Gregorio La Cava, Italo Michele Palumbo, Giovambattista De Sarro, Tommaso Ceccato, Simone Botti, Tommaso Cai, Alessandro Palmieri, Luca Gallelli

“…In the probiotic group, the appearance of <i>Lactobacilli</i> after 30 days (T1) was higher vs. the placebo group, and a significant reduction in <i>Corynebacterium</i>, <i>Peptoniphilus</i>, <i>Pseudomonas</i>, <i>Veillonella</i>, <i>Staphylococcus,</i> and <i>Streptococcus</i> was also observed. These preliminary data suggest that in patients with CBP, the use of <i>Lactobacillus casei</i> DG after an antimicrobial treatment improves the days free of symptoms and the quality of life, without the development of adverse drug reactions.…”

Automatic diagnosis of agromyzid leafminer damage levels using leaf images captured by AR glasses by Zhongru Ye, Yongjian Liu, Fuyu Ye, Hang Li, Ju Luo, Jianyang Guo, Zelin Feng, Chen Hong, Lingyi Li, Shuhua Liu, Baojun Yang, Wanxue Liu, Qing Yao

“…Traditionally, surveyors estimate the damage by visually comparing the proportion of damaged to intact leaf area, a method that lacks objectivity, precision, and reliable data traceability. To address these issues, an advanced survey system that combines augmented reality (AR) glasses with a camera and an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm was developed in this study to objectively and accurately assess leafminer damage in the field. …”
