Article Synopsis
- * The study evaluated the effects of probiotics on Nile tilapia by testing different methods of administration (feed, water, or both) over 12 weeks.
- * Results showed that probiotics enhanced growth, feed efficiency, and immune responses, with the best outcomes from the combined feed and water approach, highlighting the need for optimized probiotic use in aquaculture.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine the clinical and epidemiological data regarding impaired functional outcomes, specifically low anterior resection syndrome (LARS), following rectal surgery for tumors.
- It involved a retrospective analysis of 42 patients treated between 2009 and 2021, revealing that approximately 50% developed LARS, with major LARS occurring in 14 patients.
- The researchers identified age and advanced tumor stage (pT3T4) as independent risk factors for major LARS, suggesting that these factors should be considered in managing rectal cancer patients.
Article Synopsis
- Coronary artery atherosclerosis and calcification are key factors in developing coronary artery disease, and coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) helps assess risk levels for patients.
- A study with 435 patients with stable ischemic heart disease categorized them based on CACS and monitored them for major cardiovascular events over two years.
- Results indicated that patients with a high CACS (≥400) experienced significantly more major adverse cardiovascular events, with age, risk score, and other factors being independent predictors of these outcomes.
Background: Coronary slow flow (CSF) is characterized by late distal coronary perfusion of coronary arteries at the time of angiography despite the vessels appearing normal. The importance of CSF is still debatable. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate CSF's predictors and clinical outcomes in diabetic patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS).

Nevertheless, it is mostly investigated at the genetic level, but it is still poorly studied on pan-cancer analysis as a biomarker and this study shows its significant potential diagnostic and prognostic characteristics. However, this study aims to investigate the role of CDKN2A as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker across various types of cancer focusing primarily on colon adenocarcinoma (COAD).
