The aim of this research was to estimate the immunopotentiation effect of brown algae Padina boergesenii water extract on Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus through resistance to Pseudomonas putida infection. Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry was utilized to characterize the seaweed phytoconstituents. One hundred and twenty-six fish were divided in triplicates into two equal groups corresponding to two diet variants that used to feed Nile tilapia for 20 successive days: a basal (control), and P.

The current study investigated the toxicity of 15 days exposure to PS-NPs and / or EO to explore their combined synergistic effects on Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (O. niloticus).

Background: Self-apposing (SA) stents may decrease incomplete strut apposition and stent strut coverage that are common after CTO PCI.
Methods: We compared 20 patients who underwent CTO PCI using SA drug-eluting stents (DESs) with 20 matched control patients who underwent CTO PCI using balloon-expandable (BE)-DESs.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the immune responses of Nile Tilapia to Aeromonas veronii infection during Egypt's summer, a critical period due to high mortality rates in aquaculture.
- The research analyzes the expression of four immune-related genes—NOD1, LBP, NKL, and IL-1β—using real-time PCR in various organs over 72 hours after infection.
- Findings show significant upregulation of these genes, with NOD1 and IL-1β being most active in the spleen, while LBP and NKL were highest in the gills, indicating specific tissue responses and correlated gene regulation during the immune response.
Henneguya species are myxozoans, a suborder of Cnidaria, which can affect the gills and extrarespiratory organs of the African sharptooth catfish, Clarias gariepinus. This research describes natural infection-induced histological alterations caused by the Henneguya species present. The Henneguya species were also identified molecularly using DNA sequenced from infected tissue cysts, and phylogenetically analyzed.
