Protective Effects of Novel Strains Isolated from Chicken Caeca against Necrotic Enteritis Infection: and Evidences.

The present study aimed to show the benefits of novel lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains isolated from the caeca of healthy chickens. These novel strains, identified as and , displayed high levels of lactic acid production, capability of biofilm formation, high aggregation and adhesion scores, and significant survival rates under conditions mimicking the chicken gastrointestinal tract (GIT). In addition, these novel isolates were neither hemolytic nor cytotoxic.

Secondary Composite Breast Augmentation: Concept and Outcomes, Introduction to a Layered Approach.

Background: Secondary procedures following breast augmentation are often more difficult than primary cases because the soft-tissue envelope changes over time.

Objectives: This study was conducted to confirm the utility of a composite technique in breast revisional surgery.

Methods: This was a 9-year retrospective chart and photographic data study of one surgeon's experience with the combined use of fat and implants in revisional cases.

Effects of selenium feed supplements on functional properties of eggs.

The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of selenium feed supplements on the functional properties of eggs. The hens in experimental groups were fed diets supplemented with 0.2 mg/kg selenium from sodium selenite (Group 1), selenium-enriched yeast (Group 2), synthetic L-selenomethionine (Group 3), or hydroxy analog of selenomethionine (Group 4).

Effect of live yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae supplementation on the performance and cecum microbial profile of suckling piglets.

One mechanism through which S. cerevisiae may improve the performance of pigs is by altering the composition of the gut microbiota, a response that may be enhanced by early postnatal supplementation of probiotics. To test this hypothesis, newborn piglets (16 piglets/group) were treated with either S.
