Article Synopsis
- * Three groups of tilapia were fed either a commercial diet only or the same diet supplemented with 250 mg or 500 mg of herbal vitamin C per kg.
- * Results showed that herbal vitamin C improved fish growth, reduced DNA damage, and significantly altered the water metabolite composition, with the 500 mg dose being the most effective.
Article Synopsis
- Electronic devices, specifically electronic noses (e-noses) like the Cyranose 320, are being tested for detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in fresh Mexican cheese made from different dairy cattle breeds.
- The study utilized a combination of the e-nose and Solid-Phase Micro-extraction Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (SPME/GC-MS) to identify and analyze the VOCs present in the cheese samples.
- Results showed that the e-nose successfully distinguished between cheese made from Jersey and Holstein milk, with certain VOCs being more prominent in one breed, indicating its potential use in cheese authentication processes.
Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated the effects of a polyherbal feed mixture on the growth and health of 40 Holstein calves, examining blood chemistry, biometry, and gene expression during their pre-ruminant to weaning period.
- The optimal treatment dosage of the polyherbal mixture was found to be 4 g/d, resulting in better weight gain, hip height, and thoracic girth compared to other doses.
- Gene analysis showed upregulation in processes related to immune response and metabolism, indicating beneficial effects on the calves' health and growth from the herbal treatment.
Objective: To analyze the distribution and trends of HIV mortality in the Sanitary Districts (JS) of Mexico.
Materials And Methods: To calculate crude and standardized mortality rates, official figures of deaths from Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía and population estimates from Consejo Nacional de Población were used. Magnitude, distribution and trends of HIV mortality were analyzed, at the national level, by state and JS, using JoinPoint regression model.
Aim: Malnutrition and infections cause immunological changes in lymphocyte subpopulations and their functionality. We evaluated the activation capacity of lymphocytes and memory cells in 10 well nourished, seven well-nourished infected and eight malnourished infected children before and after treatment.
Methods: All the children were patients in Mexico City and were less than three years of age.
