Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how different genetic variants (SNPs) in certain genes related to the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) affect the severity of COVID-19 in patients, particularly focusing on cardiovascular disease and hypertension as potential risk factors.
  • Involving 100 hospitalized COVID-19 patients, the research classified them into severe and moderate cases based on specific clinical criteria, and analyzed genetic markers using advanced PCR methods.
  • Findings indicate that specific SNPs, such as those in the ACE1 and AGTR1 genes, are linked to a higher severity of COVID-19, with significant genetic differences identified between the severe and moderate cases.

New coronavirus infection may lead to long-term consequences, particularly to post-COVID syndrome, one of the most common manifestations of which is dyspnea. Post-COVID-19 shortness of breath may persist from one to several months and even years that results in low quality of life of patients. The review highlights possible risk factors and causes of dyspnea in post-COVID period such as lung damage, cardiovascular pathology, hyperventilation syndrome, dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, detraining, anemia, etc.

The main purpose of this study was to assess the impact of using the thermally modified mineral adsorbent shungite (MAS) and the dried seaweed meal (DSM) with different doses in Brown Nick cross laying hens' diet on their productivity, nutrient digestibility, morphological and blood profile, immunity status, and egg quality. A total of 261,720 hens were used in this experiment at the age of 63 weeks, and they were randomly divided into 5 groups (feeding program) with six repetitions of 8724 chickens in each. The first served (control) as a control group where laying hens were fed the basal diet that was used on the farm only; the second and the third groups represented MAS+ and MAS++, where they received the basal diet supplemented by 0.

Recently, the secondary use of by-products of the processing industry resulting from the production of poultry meat, which can be included in animal diets, has become a popular topic in the feed industry. For studying the effects of partial replacement of rapeseed cake (RC) with the by-product source of animal protein concentrate Agro-Matic (PCAM) on growth dynamics, nutrient absorption and nitrogen balance, as well as blood biochemical parameters during the growing period, a total of 48 Russian Ayrshire dairy heifers were selected for this experiment and they were divided into three experimental groups (16 in each group, including the control group). The heifers of the control group were fed the basal diet which contained rapeseed cake (30%), while the second (RC + PCAM) and third groups (PCAM + RC) were fed the basal diet after replacing a part of the rapeseed cake with 2.

Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) is one of the most important water/wastewater quality parameters. BOD is the amount of oxygen consumed in 5 days by microorganisms that oxidize biodegradable organic materials in an aerobic biochemical manner. The primary objective of this research is to apply microbial fuel cells (MFCs) to reduce the time requirement of BOD measurements.
