Newcastle disease (ND) is among the most common and deadliest poultry diseases worldwide. Thermostable Newcastle disease virus (NDV) vaccines have been widely used to protect village chickens against ND due to their decreased dependence on cold chains for transport and storage. The NDV4 Heat-Resistant (NDV4HR) vaccine is an apathogenic, heat-resistant, live vaccine that can induce immunity in chickens.

This study focuses on examining the effects of dimethyl itaconate (DMI) on cognition, motor coordination, and anxiety-like behavior in male rats that have experienced HINS. 42 male Wistar newborn rats (PND10) were randomly divided into six groups (n = 7).

- COVID-19 has been linked to an increase in mucormycosis and subsequently septic cavernous sinus thrombosis, prompting a study on the effects of anticoagulation (AC) in patients with COVID-related complications.
- In this retrospective study involving 29 patients, researchers compared health outcomes, including mortality and neurological sequelae, between those who received AC and those who did not.
- The findings indicated no significant differences in recovery or mortality rates between AC receivers and non-receivers, but due to the small sample size, the results remain inconclusive regarding the effectiveness of AC in this context.*
