Understanding the genetic factors that influence meat yield is crucial due to the economic importance of average daily live weight gain (ADWG) in livestock. This study investigates the relationship between the c.*188G>A SNP in the 3'-UTR region of the akirin 2 gene and growth traits in Zavot cattle, focusing on the gene's role in muscle development.

- Acute kidney injury (AKI) significantly impacts mortality and morbidity in critically ill patients, and the serum uric acid-to-albumin ratio may serve as a prognostic marker for assessing patient outcomes.
- A study involving over 1,000 ICU patients found that the uric acid-to-albumin ratio effectively predicted 28-day mortality, with specific ratios indicating varied levels of prediction accuracy for both AKI and non-AKI groups.
- The findings suggest that utilizing this affordable biomarker in clinical settings could improve management strategies and better predict outcomes for critically ill patients.
Background and aim Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease of unknown aetiology. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between systemic inflammatory parameters, the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), and disease stage, clinical findings, and 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18F-FDG) tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) uptake. Materials and methods Our study included 73 patients.

Morbidity and mortality associated with COVID-19 are mediated through intense viral inflammation and increased levels of inflammatory biomarkers. We aimed to retrospectively evaluate any gender difference in patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia in terms of inflammatory biomarkers.

How the disease will progress in each patient is still unknown. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the prognostic markers of the development of pneumonia and the clinical characteristics of patients under 65 years with COVID-19 confirmed by a positive reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction test.
