Partial replacement of soybean meal with full-fat black soldier fly larvae meal in plant-based nursery diets did not influence fecal colony forming units or improve fecal consistency when pigs were weaned into non-disinfected pens.

At weaning, one hundred pigs (21 d of age; 6.96 ± 0.23 kg BW) were used to determine the effect of partially replacing soybean meal (SBM) in corn- and SBM-based nursery diets on growth performance, fecal scores, Escherichia coli ( colony forming units (CFU), and cecal mucosal microbial profile when weaned into non-disinfected nursery pens.

Evaluation of the remineralization and antibacterial effect of natural versus synthetic materials on deep carious dentin: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: A variety of natural and synthetic agents have recently been used in clinical trials to arrest dentin caries.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to explore the remineralization and antibacterial effect of natural (propolis, hesperidin) vs. synthetic (silver diamine fluoride (SDF)) agents on deep carious dentin.

Using Femtosecond Laser Light-Activated Materials: The Biomimetic Dentin Remineralization Was Monitored by Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy.

: The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare the effects of the antimicrobial agents and bioactive glass nanoparticles activated by femtosecond laser light on the biomimetic dentin remineralization using teeth having carious dentin ICDAS code 3. : A total of 27 dentin surface samples were divided into three groups: the first group was treated with a extract, while the second group was treated with bioactive glass nanoparticles, and as for the control group, the third group received no additional agent. All groups were subjected to femtosecond laser light at three different wavelengths: 390 nm, 445 nm, and 780 nm.

Comorbidities among Egyptian systemic lupus erythematosus: The COMOSLE-EGYPT study.

Objective: To study the prevalence and impact of comorbidities among a cohort of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Methods: This study is retrospective, multicenter including 902 Egyptian patients with SLE. Medical records were reviewed for demographic data, clinical characteristics, routine laboratory findings, immunological profile, and medications.

Lupus-related vasculitis in a cohort of systemic lupus erythematosus patients.

Objectives: This study aims to examine the frequency and clinical association of lupus-related vasculitis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed medical records of a total of 565 SLE patients (42 males, 523 females; mean age: 32.7±9.
