Article Synopsis
- Self-care and empowerment in heart failure (HF) patients are crucial for better health outcomes, but there is limited information on their understanding of the condition and satisfaction with care.
- A study involving 281 patients from 14 heart failure units revealed that patients had a good grasp of their condition, with an average knowledge score of 80.7%, although some gaps remain.
- Despite these knowledge gaps, the majority of participants expressed high satisfaction with their care, with 98.2% likely to recommend the heart failure units to others.
The objective was to evaluate the effect of two probiotic yeast strains ( RC016 and VM004) as a substitute of growth promoter antibiotics on health status and productive parameters in weaned piglets. Commercial line hybrid piglets (Choice n=200), weaned at 21 d age were allotted by sex, and assigned in 4 pens per treatment (2 pens males and 2 pens females), 10 pigs per pen divided into 2 blocks (with or without antibiotics). Dietary treatments included a basal diet (BD) supplemented with probiotic RC016 and Kluyveromyces marxianus VM004 (100 g, 1 × 1010 CFU/g, respectively), with or without antibiotics, mixed per ton of growth phases diets.
