Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the impact of a nutritional supplement (Prosure®) high in w-3 fatty acids on patients with oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer receiving chemoradiotherapy.
- Patients who received Prosure® showed a significantly smaller weight loss (7.3%) compared to those who didn't (10.3%) and a lower incidence of severe oral mucositis (24% vs 58%).
- While the completion rate of chemoradiotherapy was higher in the Prosure® group (77%) compared to the control (60%), the difference was not statistically significant.
We investigated the seroprevalence of antibodies against Erysipelothrix in wild animals in Japan. Serum samples were collected from 48 wild boar, 26 Yezo deer and 26 Japanese deer in Japan. Growth agglutination (GA) test was performed to estimate antibody titers.
