Background: Managing hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) can be challenging, particularly due to the need for rapid triglyceride reduction to below 500mg/dL (5.645mmol/L).
Case Report: This is a case describing a 39-year-old female patient who presented to the Emergency Department with acute abdominal pain resulting from severe HTG-AP.
Considering the application of titanium nitride (TiN) films as a release layer in producing Wolter-I X-ray telescope mirror shells by the electroformed nickel replication (ENR) technique, this research pays attention to the influence of nanometer-scale thickness variation in the microstructure and physical properties of TiN films deposited by the pulsed direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering method. This topic has received limited attention in the existing literature. TiN films (9.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of vegetable waste and rice straw silage (VTRS) on immune response, antioxidant status, and microbial changes in duodenum and caecum in sheep. Eight healthy male sheep were randomly distributed into control (fed farm roughage) and VTRS (fed vegetable waste silage) groups for 35 days.

Traditional heating methods using lamps or covers lack precise control, result in significant energy waste, and cannot be dynamically adjusted according to piglet age or changing environmental temperatures. To address these issues, this study designed a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)-based thermal insulation box for nursing piglets, utilizing a strip heater instead of the conventional round heating lamp.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFeline calicivirus (FCV) is one of the most widespread pathogens affecting feline animals. Currently, FCV is believed to be divisible into two genotypes, with prevalent strains encompassing both GI and GII. Vaccination is the primary means of preventing FCV infection, yet traditional inactivated or attenuated vaccines theoretically pose potential safety concerns.
