The existence of aflatoxin M (AFM) in raw milk results in economic losses and public health risks. This research aims to examine the capability of bentonite to adsorb and/or eliminate AFM from various raw milk types. In addition, the effects of numerous bentonites (HAFR 1, 2, 3 and 4) on the nutritional characteristics of the milk were studied.

- The study investigates antimicrobial resistance in dairy households and dried milk, analyzing 360 samples from cattle and their environment.
- It found a prevalence of specific pathogens in all households, with high isolation rates from feces and bedding, while certain pathogens were absent in dried milk.
- The research also tested the antimicrobial effects of essential oils, revealing that orange oil was the most effective, rapidly killing the pathogens, followed by rose oil and rose water.
The present study aimed at investigation of the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of Salmonella spp. in the retailed dairies in Egypt. Besides, the inhibitory effects of some natural additives, including, ascorbic acid, pomegranate peel extract, and D-tryptophan against the isolated Salmonella were evaluated using soft cheese as a food matrix.

Study Design: This was a prospective cohort study of 455 women suspected of having a Mullerian anomaly. The diagnosis of subseptate, bicornuate or arcuate uterus was made by 3 D-US in 55 women.
Study Design: Randomized controlled trial.
Purpose: We compared the disability and functional outcome after conservative treatment with prolonged physiotherapy versus early surgical intervention in patients with lumbar disk herniation.
Overview Of Literature: Lumbar disk herniation is one of the most common causes of job-related disability in individuals less than 45 years old.
