Zinc-L-Selenomethionine Improves Growth and Hemato-Biochemical Parameters at Low but not at High Stocking Density for Nile Tilapia Males.
Biol Trace Elem Res
January 2025
The study aimed to examine the interaction between diets supplemented with zinc-L-selenomethionine (ZnSeMet) and two stocking densities (SD) on Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) males. Four extruded diets were formulated: 0.0, 0.

Article Synopsis
- Infectious diseases, like COVID-19, spread quickly in a globalized world, making it hard to pinpoint vulnerable populations due to intertwined individual, social, economic, and cultural factors.
- This study aimed to identify factors that make people more susceptible to infections and severe outcomes by reviewing 45 articles published from 2019 to 2023 and categorizing vulnerabilities into individual, social, and programmatic dimensions.
- The findings show that social vulnerabilities (like race, homelessness, and socioeconomic status) worsen individual health issues (like cancer and obesity), creating a cycle that highlights the need for public policies to address these vulnerabilities in health strategies for future pandemics.
Article Synopsis
- Cardiomyopathies in children and teenagers can lead to serious complications like heart failure, arrhythmias, and even sudden death, making early diagnosis crucial but challenging due to various symptoms and causes.
- * Advances in precision medicine now allow for better molecular diagnosis, enabling tailored treatment plans and identifying family members at risk.
- * This review outlines the unique aspects of pediatric cardiomyopathies and introduces a five-stage protocol for diagnosis and individualized therapy to improve patient outcomes.
