In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of different levels of boron supplementation to the diet  during the close-up period and the first postpartum day on postpartum colostrum quality, immunoglobulin levels in colostrum, and certain calf blood parameters in dairy cattle (n = 21). Two experimental groups and one control (C) group were formed. Boron at 300 ppm (T-300) and 600 ppm (T-600) was added to the experimental rations.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated serum levels of NF-κB p105, NF-κB p65, and IκBα in 35 mild/moderate COVID-19 patients compared to 35 healthy individuals.
  • Results showed significantly higher NF-κB p105 levels in COVID-19 patients, alongside increased C-reactive protein and D-dimer levels, while lymphocyte counts were lower.
  • Elevated NF-κB p105 levels were found to correlate with the necessity for supplemental oxygen during hospitalization, suggesting it could serve as a diagnostic and prognostic marker for COVID-19 severity.

Objective: The objective of our study was to evaluate whether ovarian suppression by two different hormonal methods may spare the ovary the cytotoxic effects of isotretinoin in a rat model.

Materials And Methods: Four groups (n=8 Sprague-Dawley albino rats per group) were studied: control (Group I), 7.5 mg/kg/day isotretinoin (Group II), isotretinoin plus the combination of 0.

The use of disease-free seeds or bulbs is very crucial to ensure sustainable and profitable agricultural production. Seed-borne pathogens which are responsible for significant yield losses in various crops need to be successfully eliminated with appropriate seed treatments. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of gaseous ozone (O) and ozonated water treatments on the inactivation of seed-borne fungal and bacterial pathogens of widely cultivated vegetable and cereal seeds, and ornamental bulbs.

Objective: To compare the value of chest computed tomography at 1-mm and 5-mm slice thickness in terms of computed tomography severity score and computed tomography evaluation time in the diagnosis of COVID-19.

Material And Methods: Sixty-five patients were included in the study group who are reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction-positive for COVID-19 and had chest computed tomography. The 1 mm and 5 mm reconstructed images were evaluated in 2 different sessions with 4-week intervals by 2 certificated general radiologists.
