Piscirickettsiosis causes the highest mortality in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) farming, and prophylactic treatment has not provided complete protection to date. In this study, we analyzed the immune and metabolic responses of Atlantic salmon inoculated with live and inactivated Piscirickettsia salmonis, monitoring plasma markers related to immune and stress responses. The fish were inoculated with inactivated P.

Implementing next-generation imaging (NGI) techniques has improved metastases detection. However, access to these techniques is heterogeneous, and controversies surround their use and subsequent treatment decisions.

Importance: There is limited understanding of the relationship between social determinants of health (SDOH) and types of overactive bladder/urgency urinary incontinence (OAB/UUI) treatments.
Objectives: Our objective was to determine if OAB/UUI treatment type differs by SDOH, including insurance and estimated median household income (EMHI).
Study Design: This was a cross-sectional study of adult patients assigned female at birth with OAB/UUI, identified from 2017 to 2022 within a tertiary academic health system.
The main objective of this work is to investigate the influence of shear on the rheological properties and physical stability of aqueous dispersions of flaxseed fiber. The variable to consider will be the homogenization rate in two different rotor-stator homogenizers, Ultraturrax T50 or T25. In order to achieve the proposed objective, small amplitude oscillatory tests, flow curves, and multiple light scattering measurements were carried out.
