Article Synopsis
- Toxoplasma gondii is a harmful parasite that affects various mammals, including a unique sheep breed in southwestern China, which is important for local animal husbandry due to its adaptability and wool quality.
- Infection in lambs leads to serious health issues, while infected ewes can experience complications like abortions, impacting sheep productivity and public health risks from contaminated meat and dairy.
- A study involving blood samples from 586 sheep showed a 16.04% infection rate, with age identified as a significant risk factor, particularly in younger sheep, confirming the need for continued monitoring and control measures.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive performance of end-tidal carbon monoxide corrected to ambient carbon monoxide (ETCOc) values phototherapy in neonates with significant hyperbilirubinemia.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted on neonates with significant hyperbilirubinemia who received phototherapy between 3 and 7 days of life. The breath ETCOc and serum total bilirubin of the recruited infants were measured on admission.
Purpose: There are limited studies on the use of bronchodilators for the treatment of bronchiectasis. This study investigated the efficacy of tiotropium in patients with bronchiectasis and airflow limitation.
Methods: This study was a prospective cohort study, including 169 patients with bronchiectasis and airflow limitation from 2015 to 2019.
Objective: To provide an overview and critical appraisal of prediction models for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library to identify relevant studies (up to November 2021). We included studies that reported prediction model development and/or validation of BPD in preterm infants born at ≤32 weeks and/or ≤1,500 g birth weight.
Major histocompatibility complex class I chain-related A (MICA) is a highly polymorphic gene located within the MHC class I region of the human genome. Expressed as a cell surface glycoprotein, MICA modulates immune surveillance by binding to its cognate receptor on natural killer cells, NKG2D, and its genetic polymorphisms have been recently associated with susceptibility to some infectious diseases. We determined whether MICA polymorphisms were associated with the high rate of Schistosoma parasitic worm infection or severity of disease outcome in the Dongting Lake region of Hunan Province, China.
