Recent studies have discovered that wheat bran could stimulate digestive tract development, modulate intestinal microbiota, and improve the digestibility of fibrous ingredients in broilers. Wheat bran varies greatly in its chemical constituents. The objective of this study is to investigate how different types of wheat bran influence growth performance, nutrient digestion, and gut health in broiler chickens.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to explore how oxhorn cupping therapy (OHCT) impacts rheumatoid arthritis by analyzing proteins in the body fluid collected from patients after treatment.
  • Thirty patients underwent OHCT, and researchers isolated and examined exosomes from the fluid to identify changes in protein expression, revealing 300 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs).
  • Key pathways and genes associated with the treatment effects were identified, particularly related to signal transduction, with a notable shift in certain protein levels during and after treatment.
  • Overall, the findings suggest that OHCT may have therapeutic effects on rheumatoid arthritis by altering exosomal proteins and pathways involved in the disease.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study investigated the link between Doppler indices of the ophthalmic artery and negative outcomes for newborns in pregnant women with preeclampsia (PE) using data collected from 110 patients in southeastern Brazil.
  • - Researchers measured various ophthalmic parameters and tracked multiple neonatal outcomes, such as neonatal death and low birth weight, but found no significant relationship between Doppler results and these outcomes.
  • - The findings suggest that while ophthalmic artery Doppler can help assess maternal health, it does not independently predict adverse outcomes for newborns in cases of severe preeclampsia.
