Article Synopsis
  • The study assessed the epidemiological characteristics and treatment effectiveness of brucellosis in patients with different organ issues over a decade, focused on data from two medical centers.
  • The research included 297 patients, primarily farmers, highlighting that farming and raw dairy consumption were key transmission routes, with high positivity in diagnostic tests and various blood-related conditions reported.
  • Findings indicated that treatments with doxycycline combined with either streptomycin or rifampicin were equally effective, with similar relapse rates, suggesting that careful monitoring and longer treatment durations could help reduce the risk of relapse.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how glutamine and omega-3 fatty acids influence the growth of intestinal neomucosa in a model for short bowel syndrome using male rats.
  • 32 rats were divided into four groups: sham, control, glutamine, and omega-3, and underwent surgeries to assess the healing process over 14 days with measured outcomes.
  • Results showed that glutamine significantly improved the formation of intestinal neomucosa in 100% of rats, while omega-3 and control groups showed lower success, indicating glutamine's stronger impact on healing and inflammation response.
