Teriflunomide-associated urolithiasis: a new adverse reaction explained by its uricosuric effect.

In clinical trials, few investigations have been conducted to determine the mechanism involved in teriflunomide-associated kidney stone formation. We report the first case of recurrent teriflunomide-induced uric acid urolithiasis. A 55-year-old man with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis experienced three occurrences of urolithiasis several months after the initiation of teriflunomide.

The drying temperature and the moisture content at harvest affect the apparent metabolisable energy of two maize varieties in broiler chickens.

1. The grain drying process may affect the feeding value of maize but until now, no general consensus has been reached. This knowledge is essential to manage maize nutritional value in feed and ensure optimal growth performance of broiler chickens.

In vitro and in vivo assessment of the effect of initial moisture content and drying temperature on the feeding value of maize grain.

1. This study assessed the impact of drying temperature (54, 90, and 130°C) and maize grain moisture content at harvest (36% and 29%) on in vitro digestibility, the growth performance and ileal digestibility of broiler chickens. 2.

Microbiological Load of Edible Insects Found in Belgium.

Edible insects are gaining more and more attention as a sustainable source of animal protein for food and feed in the future. In Belgium, some insect products can be found on the market, and consumers are sourcing fresh insects from fishing stores or towards traditional markets to find exotic insects that are illegal and not sanitarily controlled. From this perspective, this study aims to characterize the microbial load of edible insects found in Belgium (i.
