Nonylphenol (NP) is a ubiquitous environmental endocrine disrupting chemical and oxidative stress inducer in biological systems. Resveratrol (RES) and Naringenin (NG) are phytochemicals possessing antioxidant properties and estrogenic activity. This study was conducted to investigate the toxicity of NP and the mitigating effects of RES and NG on NP toxicity in rats.

Contemporarily, pulsed mode thulium laser has been reported to confer adequate hemostasis. Therefore, the primary outcome of this study was to assess safety and efficacy of thulium laser-based hemostasis during PNL.

- The study investigates the effects of nanoencapsulated multi-strain probiotics on the health and performance of broiler chickens, specifically focusing on their ability to combat Salmonella Typhimurium.
- A total of 2,800 Ross 308 chicks were divided into groups receiving different probiotic treatments, including standard and nanoencapsulated forms, before being challenged with Salmonella at 22 days old.
- Results showed that birds fed the higher doses of nanoencapsulated probiotics (BLB-NPs II and III) had improved weight gain, enhanced immune response, lower Salmonella counts, and greater populations of beneficial gut bacteria compared to the control group.
Background: We aimed to study, for the first time in the Egyptian population, the relationship between the serum adiponectin level in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients and its correlation with clinical, radiological, and ultrasonographic characteristics. Additionally, investigate the relationship between the adiponectin (ADIPOQ) gene rs1501299 (+ 276G/T) polymorphism and KOA susceptibility and severity.
Methods: This case-control study enrolled 40 patients with primary KOA and 40 matched controls.
