None of us wants to have surgery but when we need it we need it. Most of the time, all goes well. However, when health issues require repeated surgeries, things are more apt to happen, and that's why this man is not bowel incontinent. This is a tough blow to anyone, but to a heavy-machine operator, it can be dibilitating.

Fight Aging! Newsletter, October 11th 2021
In conclusion, this study examined how age and the process of aging are associated with changes in the microbiome of the small intestine, using validated sampling and processing techniques. The most significant differences are higher relative abundance of the phylum Proteobacteria and decreased relative abundance of Bacteroidetes in older subjects when compared to the youngest group. The higher relative abundance of Proteobacteria appeared to affect other duodenal microbial taxa, leading to decreased microbial diversity and increased relative abundance of coliforms and of anaerobic bacteria. The small intestine is vital to...

Sex hormones are the obvious starting point for any investigation of the relevant molecular biology. In humans, estrogen provides numerous physiological benefits in addition to being a sex hormone, and so a higher estrogen level in women is a possible candidate mechanism.
