Article Synopsis
- * This study aimed to determine how long D. renale eggs remain in dog urine after surgical removal of the parasites, involving 15 dogs and urine sample analysis before and for ten days post-surgery.
- * Results showed that 93.3% of dogs continued to excrete D. renale eggs for up to ten days post-surgery, emphasizing that dogs can still be a source of infection despite having the parasites surgically removed.

Article Synopsis
- * In a study, mice treated with W. paramesenteroides WpK4 showed increased intestinal mucus production, better villi regeneration, and 100% survival, compared to 60% survival in the control group after chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU).
- * The probiotic strain can produce and metabolize tryptophan, and its protective effects are associated with increased expression of tryptophan-related molecules in the mice, but these benefits are negated when an AhR inhibitor is
