Effects of supplementing different feed additives to high-concentrate diets containing potassium carbonate on dairy cow performance.

Meeting the buffer requirements of concentrate-fed dairy cows is a challenging task. We evaluated the effect of supplementing different feed additives to diets containing KCO on feed intake, nutrient digestion and milk production of dairy cows. Eight peak lactation high yielding Holstein cows were used in a replicated 4 × 4 Latin square design with 4 periods of 21 d (14 d for diet adaptation and 7 d for sampling and data collection).

Toxicological impact of silver nanoparticles on soil microbial indicators in contaminated soil (pot experiment).

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), recognized for their unique properties, are widely applied in fields such as agriculture, biotechnology, food security, and medicine. However, concerns persist regarding their interactions with living organisms and potential environmental impacts. This study investigates the effects of AgNPs on key soil microbial indicators that are essential for ecological functioning.

Are ethnic inequalities in adult oral health-related quality of life modified by immigration status?

Objective: To explore ethnic inequalities in oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and the role of nativity status on them.

Methods: Data from 1868 adults (16-65 years) of 9 ethnic groups participating in a community-based health survey in East London. Participants completed a supervised questionnaire including the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) to calculate prevalence, extent and severity of oral impacts.

Fabrication and efficacy assessment of combination of brimonidine and ivermectin for treatment of papulopustular rosacea.

Background & Aim: Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory, multifactorial disease for which combination therapy could be an effective treatment. In this study, we evaluate the effect of the combination therapy of brimonidine 0.33% and ivermectin 1% as a single cream for the treatment of papulopustular rosacea.
