Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to better understand severe serine biosynthesis defects by examining prenatal and postnatal effects in 12 unrelated Egyptian families with suspected Neu-Laxova syndrome (NLS).
- Researchers employed fetal ultrasound, postnatal assessments, and whole exome sequencing (WES) to analyze this new cohort and reviewed existing literature for a broader context.
- Findings included novel clinical signs and the identification of several genetic variants, expanding the understanding of serine biosynthesis disorders and highlighting the importance of prenatal exome sequencing.
Purpose: To reach a consensus among obstetrics and gynecology experts on the effects of micronutrient supplementation on fertility and pregnancy to aid clinicians in decision-making and create a unified approach to managing micronutrient deficiencies in women, by performing a modified Delphi study.
Methods: A three-round modified Delphi process was conducted among a Delphi panel of 38 Egyptian experts to define recommendations regarding the role of supplementation on fertility and pregnancy in women of reproductive age. A literature review was performed and supporting evidence was graded to help guide the recommendations based on available evidence.
The aim of this work was to assess the effects of beeswax supplementation on growth rate, feed intake, nutrient digestion, rumen fermentation, blood parameters, and economic sustainability in Assaf lambs. Eighteen growing Assaf (5 months old) lambs were separated into three experimental groups ( = 6 lambs/group). The lambs were fed a basal diet without supplementation (G1) or supplemented with 2 and 4 g beeswax/head/day in G2 and G3 groups, respectively.
