Dietary Inclusion of Carob Pulp ( L.) Does Not Replace the Antioxidant Effect of Vitamin E in Lambs' Meat to Lengthen Shelf-Life.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of dietary carob pulp (Cp, L.) and vitamin E (Vit E) on the quality and shelf-life of light lamb meat stored for a maximum of 15 days under modified atmosphere packaging (MAP). Forty-eight lambs (half females and half entire males, 25.

Reducing Dietary Protein Levels with Amino Acid Supplementation in Duroc Sire Line Finishing Pigs: Growth Performances, Carcass and Meat Traits and Nitrogen Balance in Males and Females.

Crude protein (CP) reduction and amino acid (AAs) supplementation is an interesting cost-reducing strategy for environmental compliance. The objective of this work is to study productive performances of heavy Duroc X (Landrace X Large white) male and female pigs during the finishing stage under a 2% CP reduction with crystalline AA supplementation. A total of 60 entire male and 60 female pigs (means ± standard deviations: 109 ± 4.

Overcoming Resistance in Anderson-Fabry Disease: Current Therapeutic Challenges and Future Perspectives.

Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD) remains a therapeutic challenge despite advances in early diagnosis and the availability of enzyme replacement therapies (ERTs). While early initiation of therapy can mitigate disease progression, resistance mechanisms-such as the development of anti-drug antibodies-limit the efficacy of current treatments, particularly in patients with severe genetic variants. Chaperone therapy provides a targeted option for a subset of patients, yet significant gaps remain in treating those with complete enzyme deficiency.

Long-term outcomes with a partial neck-preserving cementless short stem in primary total hip arthroplasty for young patients: a single center first one hundred cases.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the long-term results of THA patients who received a cementless short stem regarding clinical outcomes, bone changes, complications, and incidence of femoral revision.

Methods: A retrospective evaluation of the first 100 THA employing a type 2B cementless stem (Mini hip stem, Corin, Cirencester, United Kingdom) by the same surgeon at one institution. We only include patients with 18 years or more, and with a minimum follow up of 8 years.

Fringe-averaged collinear frequency-resolved optical gating: in situ characterization of ultrashort pulses in nonlinear microscopy.

In situ characterization of the electric field of ultrafast pulses is critical in multiphoton microscopy. Although second harmonic generation-based collinear Frequency-Resolved Optical Gating (FROG) addresses this need, the interferometric measurement is challenged by interferometric drift instability, the required high sampling density of the acquired data, and the inability to directly use the interferometric data with conventional FROG retrieval algorithms. We address these issues by combining low-pass Fourier filtering with active kHz dithering of the interferometric path length difference using a piezo-driven retroreflector.
