Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to investigate the effects of replacing soybean meal (SBM) with canola meal (CM) or corn-distillers' dried grains with solubles (cDDGS) in reduced-protein diets on infected broiler chicks, using a sample of 1,120 birds divided into various diet and infection groups.
- - Results indicated that while the diet had little effect on uninfected birds, the RP-SBM diet led to higher weight gain in infected birds and significant immune responses, such as increased bile anti-IgA and splenocyte proliferation.
- - The findings suggest that partial replacement of SBM with CM or cDDGS offers minimal benefits, with only the RP-SBM diet showing notable positive outcomes
Article Synopsis
- Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has high morbidity and mortality rates, and timely diagnosis is essential for better patient outcomes; however, diagnostic delays are a significant concern.
- A study with 226 OSCC patients examined demographic and socioeconomic factors contributing to these delays, finding that the average delay was 55.2 days, with a significant number of patients affected by delays over 40 days.
- Key factors linked to longer delays included older age, single marital status, lower education, and lower income, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to improve early detection and patient outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- Periodontal disease arises from bacterial plaque buildup and immune reactions, possibly leading to conditions like gingivitis and severe periodontitis if not treated.
- The study compared salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) levels between individuals with varying stages of periodontitis and healthy controls, finding significant elevation in sAA among those with periodontitis.
- Results indicate a moderate correlation between sAA levels and clinical measures of periodontal disease, suggesting that elevated sAA could serve as a potential biomarker for assessing disease severity.
Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is among the greatest threats to global healthcare. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that by 2050 ten million deaths will be attributed to AMR annually. In response, the WHO has implemented antibiotic stewardship programs which focus on optimizing antibiotic use and raise, amongst others, the issue of the preferred method of intravenous antibiotic administration.
