"Liver steatosis or nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a progressive disorder characterized by the fat accumulation in the parenchyma of the liver. The progressive form of NAFLD called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the advanced condition that shows different grades of fibrosis, which could progress to cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and liver-related morbidity and mortality. Bariatric surgery gains attention as a potential treatment for liver steatosis because different studies revealed an improvement in 90% of cases of fatty liver after surgery. The improvement occurred within the first year and persisted up to five years. Pathogenic mechanisms that are involved in the evolution steatosis are intimately connected with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and the metabolic syndrome. Bariatric surgery is a powerful treatment to ameliorate all these conditions. The aim of this book is to update the actual evidence about liver steatosis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis in morbidly obese patients, the diagnostic methods and the evolution after the different techniques of bariatric surgery"--

This book discusses in detail the pathological aspects associated with alterations in the gut microbiota and the pathogenesis of different disorders related to dysbiosis. The volume describes the impact of dysbiosis on organs other than the gut and brain, such as metabolic diseases, cancer, gynecologic disorders, aging, or pediatric pathologies. Additionally, it associates the mechanisms and metabolic signaling pathways related to gut microbiota homeostasis and alterations with their clinical impact, highlighting the importance of translational research on dysbiosis. The volume is divided into 12 chapters: the first two chapters present diagnostic methods and therapeutic options, including prebiotics and probiotics. The remaining ten chapters specifically focus on diseases of different organs. Moreover, the relevance of these findings to precision medicine will be discussed. The book provides biomedical professionals, basic researchers, and clinical practitioners, especially those specialized in Precision Medicine and Integrative Medicine, with information about the effects of dysbiosis on the physiopathology of various diseases. It also includes updated evidence on the impact of dysbiosis on numerous pathologies, such as metabolic diseases, cancer, gynecologic disorders, aging, or pediatric pathologies, going beyond gastrointestinal and central nervous system diseases typically covered in many publications. Furthermore, the book addresses the translational aspect of dysbiosis. It starts with the basic research knowledge on dysbiosis and disease and aims to provide a translational approach applicable to clinical practice. By combining the fundamental knowledge of biomedical researchers with the clinical applicability of healthcare practitioners, this book bridges the gap between theory and practice.
