Selenium nanoparticles are required for the optimum growth behavior, antioxidative capacity, and liver wellbeing of Striped catfish ().

Selenium (Se) is a multifunctional trace element required in specific amounts for the optimal growth of aquatic finfish species. For this reason, this study investigated the effect of Se nanoparticles on the growth behavior, antioxidative capacity, and liver wellbeing of Striped catfish (). Striped catfish fed varying Se nanoparticles levels (0.

Dietary Cinnamon Successfully Enhanced the Growth Performance, Growth Hormone, Antibacterial Capacity, and Immunity of European Sea Bass ().

Dietary cinnamon has several bioactive compounds with growth-promoting and immunomodulation potential and is suggested for finfish species. This study evaluated the inclusion of cinnamon at 0, 10, 15, and 20 g/kg in European sea bass () diets. After 90 days, the highest final weight, weight gain, specific growth rate, protein efficiency ratio, and the lowest feed conversion ratio were seen in fish treated with 10 g/kg ( < 0.

The Impact of Dietary Curcumin on the Growth Performance, Intestinal Antibacterial Capacity, and Haemato-Biochemical Parameters of Gilthead Seabream ().

The need to replace antibiotics in aquafeed is increasing, and alternative safe substances are now encouraged for sustainable aquaculture activity. Curcumin is regarded as a multifunctional feed additive with growth-promoting and immunostimulant potential. Thus, this study evaluated dietary inclusion of curcumin at rates of 0, 1.

Evolution of Diastolic Dysfunction in Patients with Coronary Slow Flow Phenomenon and Acute Non-ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

Background: Diastolic function has been reported to be impaired in many patients with coronary slow flow phenomenon (CSFP). CSFP has broad spectrum of clinical presentations, including non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). We sought to study the short-term evolution of diastolic function in CSFP patients presenting with NSTEMI.

Effect of Presence of Ramus Intermedius Artery on Location of Culprit Lesions in Acute Left Circumflex Coronary Artery Occlusion.

Background And Aim: Coronary artery anatomy frequently affects location of atherosclerotic plaques and subsequent culprit lesions. We sought to clarify whether presence or absence of Ramus Intermedius coronary artery (RI) would affect location of culprit lesions in acute left circumflex (LCX) coronary artery occlusion.

Methods: The study included 180 patients, 100 with a diagnosis of non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and 80 with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Original Article--Value of Pathological Q Waves and Angiographic Collateral Grade in Patients Undergoing Coronary Chronic Total Occlusion Recanalization: Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Study.

Background/aim: Successful coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) revascularization was found by many studies to be associated with improved left ventricular (LV) systolic function and survival if evidence of viability is present. Little is known about the association of CTO revascularization in patients with electrocardiographic Q waves and improvement in angina burden as a measurement of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) afterwards.

Methods: In this study, 100 patients with single vessel CTO were included.

Relationship between quality of coronary collateral and myocardial viability in chronic total occlusion: a magnetic resonance study.

Revascularization of chronic total occlusion (CTO) is still debated regarding its indications and therapeutic benefits. Guidelines recommend patient selection based on ischemia detection and viability assessment. We aimed to investigate the relationship between the quality of coronary collaterals (CC), graded by Rentrop classification, and myocardial viability assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR).

Echocardiographic parameters differentiating heart failure with preserved ejection fraction from asymptomatic left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.

Background: (LVDD) either remains latent or manifests as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Little is known about echocardiographic parameters associated with symptomatic phenotype.

Objective: To investigate echocardiographic parameters associated with symptomatic state in LVDD.

Left ventricular restrictive filling pattern and the presence of contractile reserve in patients with low-flow/low-gradient severe aortic stenosis.

Objective: We sought to study diastolic function in patients with low-flow/low-gradient aortic stenosis (LF/LGAS) and to clarify the relationship between contractile reserve on dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) and the restrictive filling pattern on echocardiography in patients with LF/LGAS.

Patients And Methods: Thirty patients with LF/LG severe AS were divided into 2 groups. Group I included 14 patients with contractile reserve on DSE.
