Article Synopsis
- This study assessed the impact of varying amounts of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) on the performance of broiler chicks and their biochemical responses.
- The chicks were divided into three diet groups: a control (no HFCS), low-HFCS (50 mg/kg), and high-HFCS (100 mg/kg), monitoring factors like body weight gain, feed intake, and blood biochemistry.
- Results showed that the high-HFCS group had decreased feed consumption and body weight gain, with poorer feed conversion rates and lower carcass yields compared to the control group, suggesting that high levels of HFCS are detrimental to broiler performance.
Objectives: The present study was performed to examine the utility of a new first trimester marker called the "brain angle" (BA) in screening for trisomy 21. We postulate that differences in the midbrain anatomy between euploid fetuses and those that are affected by trisomy 21 are reflected in changes in BA measurements.
Methods: In fetuses at 11-13 weeks of gestations, which were at high risk for trisomy 21, the angle was measured between the line crossing the thalamus and mesencephalon cranial border tangentially and the line crossing the brainstem lower limit.
Can first trimester pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A predict the surfactant needs of preterm neonates?

Background: Low values of pregnancy associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A), have been shown to be associated with some poor gestational outcomes, especially those related to placental deficiency such as pre-eclampsia and fetal growth restriction as well as preterm labor. The aim of this study was to compare first trimester PAPP-A MoM values with the surfactant needs of newborns of pregnant women who had a preterm delivery.
Methods: This study included 216 pregnant women who had a preterm delivery, who were found to be in the low-risk group based on their aneuploidy screening.
Background: Hearing is essential for the healthy development of an infant as language is one of the main stimulants of intellectual capacity. We investigate the effect of anesthesia type during delivery on neonatal otoacoustic emission (OAE) hearing test results.
Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study includes 1,493 healthy, full-term (39/0-40/6 gestational weeks) newborns of healthy women and who were delivered by cesarean section.
