Modulation of the Plasma Lipidomic Profile in Piglets Fed Polar Lipid-Rich Diets.

Polar lipids from dairy are novel sources of energy that may replace other dietary lipids and impact plasma lipidomic profiles in piglets. This study evaluated the impact of feeding diets rich in polar lipids on the plasma lipidome of piglets during the weaning period. Weaned male piglets ( = 240; 21 days of age; 6.

Single-Leg Balance and Lower Limb Strength: Quantitative Analysis with the Balance Master System.

: This study investigates the relationship between lower limb strength and postural stability in single-leg stance using the Balance Master system. : The research involved 64 participants divided into sedentary and physically active groups based on metabolic equivalents of task (METs) values, normal weight, overweight, and obese according to body composition. Postural control was evaluated using the Sensory Organization Test.

Embolization of Rectal Arteries for Treating Hemorrhoidal Disease Using a Combination of Microspheres and Microcoils: A Pilot Study.

Purpose: To investigate the feasibility and initial results of superior (SRA) and middle (MRA) rectal artery embolization for patients with symptomatic hemorrhoidal disease.

Materials And Methods: Prospective, single-center cohort that included ten consecutive patients (Goligher classification was II in 70% and III in 30%.) who underwent SRA and MRA embolization using a combination of microspheres and metallic coils, who completed a follow-up period of 12 months.

Comparison of sexual function between laparoscopic lateral suspension and laparoscopic sacrocervicopexy with the use of the PISQ-IR questionnaire.

Introduction And Hypothesis: We aimed to analyze the quality of sexual life of patients with apical vaginal wall prolapse who had undergone laparoscopic lateral suspension (LLS) and laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC).

Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of sexual outcomes of a previous randomized control trial comparing LLS and LSC in 89 women with symptomatic POP stage ≥ II. We evaluated sexually active (SA) and non-sexually active women (NSA) using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire-IUGA-Revised (PISQ-IR).

Enhancing accessibility to water treatment: An economical and sustainable method for producing a moringa oleifera-based natural coagulant through paper filtration.

Access to safe drinking water is a major challenge for vulnerable populations, especially in regions with limited infrastructure. The use of chemical coagulants in water treatment presents environmental and health risks due to their non-biodegradable byproducts, which contaminate ecosystems. Natural coagulants offer a safer alternative, as they decompose naturally and reduce pollution.
