- Chickens in free-range environments can be vulnerable to filarioid parasites, but research on these has been limited compared to other pathogens like viruses and bacteria.
- The study investigated filarioids found in domestic chickens from two flocks in Hiroshima, revealing adult worms and microfilariae in various organs, and showing genetic links to previously identified filarioids from another region in Japan.
- A new PCR assay was developed to detect the parasite's DNA in biting midges, suggesting these insects could act as vectors for transmission, highlighting the need for further research on these neglected parasites.
Mucositis is one of the most frequent side effects induced by chemotherapy that damages the patients' QOL and response rate. The efficacy of Rebamipide and Polaprezinc mouthwash and uptake was evaluated. Nine patients who underwent chemotherapy and had some complaints related with mucositis were included as subjects.
