Dietary supplementation of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) diets with bay laurel (Laurus nobilis): alleviation of oxidative stress and amelioration of immune response, serum biochemistry, and resistance against Aeromonas hydrophila.

Herbal plants can enhance immunity and alleviate oxidative stress in fish. Therefore, the present work was performed to evaluate the effects of bay laurel (Laurus nobilis) on growth, immunity, antioxidant activities, disease resistance, and hematology in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). A total of 225 Nile tilapia fingerlings (average weight 15.

Six databases were searched: (1) MEDLINE (Ovid), (2) EMBASE, (3) Cochrane, (4) ERIC, (5) CINAHL PLUS, and (6) Google Scholar for Medical Subject Headings terms online videos, postgraduate health education, and health professional/s.

Pneumopericardium- An Unusual Complication Following Transseptal Puncture: A Series of 3 Cases.

Transseptal puncture (TSP) is performed to access the left side of the heart from the venous circulation. Performed under fluoroscopy with echocardiographic guidance, it is a procedure associated with complications. Pneumopericardium leading to cardiac tamponade is rare following TSP.

Indicators and predictors of in-hospital mortality and survival in patients with ventricular septal rupture.

Background: Ventricular septal rupture (VSR), a mechanical complication of myocardial infarction (MI), usually presents with rapid clinical deterioration with acute heart failure or cardiogenic shock. VSR may occur within 24 h to several days after MI and can occur in both anterior and inferior wall MI. Although guidelines recommend emergent surgery, this is associated with a high mortality rate of up to 40%.

A graph placement methodology for fast chip design.

Chip floorplanning is the engineering task of designing the physical layout of a computer chip. Despite five decades of research, chip floorplanning has defied automation, requiring months of intense effort by physical design engineers to produce manufacturable layouts. Here we present a deep reinforcement learning approach to chip floorplanning.

Diffusion histology imaging differentiates distinct pediatric brain tumor histology.

High-grade pediatric brain tumors exhibit the highest cancer mortality rates in children. While conventional MRI has been widely adopted for examining pediatric high-grade brain tumors clinically, accurate neuroimaging detection and differentiation of tumor histopathology for improved diagnosis, surgical planning, and treatment evaluation, remains an unmet need in their clinical management. We employed a novel Diffusion Histology Imaging (DHI) approach employing diffusion basis spectrum imaging (DBSI) derived metrics as the input classifiers for deep neural network analysis.

Alteration in Central and Peripheral Nervous System Tumors.

(alternately referred to as v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1) is a proto-oncogene involved in the mitogen-activated protein kinase () pathway. alterations are most commonly missense mutations or aberrant fusions. These mutations are observed in numerous primary central nervous system tumors as well as metastases.

The role of online videos in teaching procedural skills to post-graduate medical learners: A systematic narrative review.

Online videos are commonly used in medical education. The aim of this review was to investigate the role of online instructional videos in teaching procedural skills to postgraduate medical learners. This systematic narrative review was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines.

A Study on the Evaluation of Pharyngeal Size in Different Skeletal Patterns: A Radiographic Study.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the upper and lower pharyngeal airway dimensions were affected by different skeletal malocclusions.

Materials And Methods: Lateral cephalograms of 120 subjects were used to measure the pharyngeal airway and were divided into three groups (each group included 40 subjects) according to ANB angle: Class I (ANB angle 2° ≤ ANB ≤ 4°), Class II (ANB angle(ANB ≥ 6°), and Class III (ANB angle ≤ 0°). Various linear cephalometric airway measurements (14 measurements) were used to evaluate pharyngeal airway at various levels.

DNA damage regulates direct association of TOR kinase with the RNA polymerase II-transcribed gene.

The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) senses nutrient sufficiency and cellular stress. When mTORC1 is inhibited, protein synthesis is reduced in an intricate process that includes a concerted down-regulation of genes encoding rRNA and ribosomal proteins. The high-mobility group protein Hmo1p has been implicated in coordinating this response to mTORC1 inhibition.

The 2017 International Joint Working Group recommendations of the Indian College of Cardiology, the Academic College of Emergency Experts, and INDUSEM on the management of low-risk chest pain in emergency departments across India.

There have been no published recommendations for the management of low-risk chest pain in emergency departments (EDs) across India. This is despite the fact that chest pain continues to be one of the most common presenting complaints in EDs. Risk stratification of patients utilizing an accelerated diagnostic protocol has been shown to decrease hospitalizations by approximately 40% with a low 30-day risk of major adverse cardiac events.

Transcatheter closure of ruptured sinus of Valsalva: Different techniques and mid-term follow-up.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to study the feasibility and approaches to device closure of ruptured sinus of Valsalva (RSOV). We have compared the advantages and disadvantages of different devices and techniques and discussed complications which might occur during or after the procedure.

Background: There are only a few case series of transcatheter closure of RSOV, with most cases being traditionally referred for surgery.

Loss of Dfg5 glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane protein confers enhanced heat tolerance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

The protein product of Saccharomyces cerevisiae DFG5 gene is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored plasma membrane protein and a putative glycosidase/glycosyltransferase that links other GPI-anchored proteins to β-glucans in the cell wall. Upon exposure to heat (41°C), DFG5 deletion mutant dfg5Δ displayed significantly enhanced heat tolerance as well as lowered level of reactive oxygen species and decreased membrane permeability compared with those in the control (BY4741). Comparative transcriptome profiles of BY4741 and dfg5Δ revealed that 38 and 23 genes were up- and down-regulated in dfg5Δ respectively.

Raine syndrome.

Coarctoplasty and Stenting in a Case of Ventricular Septal Defect With Eisenmenger's Syndrome: A Clinical Dilemma.

Coarctoplasty with stenting is often an effective strategy in cases of recoarctation following surgical repair. The potential benefit of coarctoplasty in a patient with Eisenmenger's syndrome is unknown. We describe the case of a 21-year-old male who presented with claudication of lower limbs.

Right Hemicolectomy for Intestinal Obstruction Due to Yersinia pseudotuberculosis: A Histopathological Surprise.

A 56-year-old man was diagnosed to be having enteric fever elsewhere and put on antibiotics. Despite therapy over 3 months, this patient had recurrent bouts of fever with chills, tiredness, and lower abdominal pain, distension, and vomiting with which he was admitted to our hospital. CT abdomen and pelvis showed significant wall thickening in the cecum and terminal ileum, with marked luminal narrowing and marked dilatation of proximal small bowel loops.
