    diseases Review From Donor to Patient: Collection, Preparation and Cryopreservation of Fecal Samples for Fecal Microbiota Transplantation Carole Nicco 1 , Armelle Paule 2, Peter Konturek 3 and Marvin Edeas 1,* 1 Cochin Institute, INSERM U1016, University Paris Descartes, Development, Reproduction and Cancer, Cochin Hospital, 75014 Paris, France; [email protected] 2 International Society of Microbiota, 75002 Paris, France; [email protected] 3 Teaching Hospital of the University of Jena, Thuringia-Clinic Saalfeld, 07318 Saalfeld, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 6 March 2020; Accepted: 10 April 2020; Published: 15 April 2020 Abstract: Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) is suggested as an efficacious therapeutic strategy for restoring intestinal microbial balance, and thus for treating disease associated with alteration of gut microbiota. FMT consists of the administration of fresh or frozen fecal microorganisms from a healthy donor into the intestinal tract of diseased patients. At this time, in according to healthcare authorities, FMT is mainly used to treat recurrent Clostridium difficile. Despite the existence of a few existing stool banks worldwide and many studies of the FMT, there is no standard method for producing material for FMT, and there are a multitude of factors that can vary between the institutions. The main constraints for the therapeutic uses of FMT are safety concerns and acceptability. Technical and logistical issues arise when establishing such a non-standardized treatment into clinical practice with safety and proper governance. In this context, our manuscript describes a process of donor safety screening for FMT compiling clinical and biological examinations, questionnaires and interviews of donors.

Some of the most common file formats for digital data used in eScience (CSV, XML, and JSON, for example) are built atop plain text standards. Plain text representations of digital data are often preferred because plain text formats are relatively stable, and they facilitate reuse and interoperability.

  • A Type System for Format Strings E

Ernst University of Washington, USA {weitzkon,genelkim,ping128,mernst}@cs.uw.edu ABSTRACT // Untested code (Hadoop) Most programming languages support format strings, but their use Resource r = ... format("Insufficient memory %d", r); is error-prone. Using the wrong format string syntax, or passing the wrong number or type of arguments, leads to unintelligible text // Unchecked input (FindBugs) output, program crashes, or security vulnerabilities. String urlRewriteFormat = read(); This paper presents a type system that guarantees that calls to format(urlRewriteFormat, url); format string APIs will never fail. In Java, this means that the API will not throw exceptions. In C, this means that the API will not // User unaware log is a format routine (Daikon) log("Exception " + e); return negative values, corrupt memory, etc. We instantiated this type system for Java’s Formatter API, and // Invalid syntax for Formatter API (ping-gcal) evaluated it on 6 large and well-maintained open-source projects. format("Unable to reach {0}", server); Format string bugs are common in practice (our type system found Listing 1: Real-world code examples of common programmer 104 bugs), and the annotation burden on the user of our type system mistakes that lead to format routine call failures.
