Effects of Dietary Sodium Nitroprusside and N-Nitro-L-Arginine Methyl Ester on Growth Performance, Some Organs Development Status and Immune Parameters in Broilers.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of dietary supplementation of sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a nitric oxide (NO) donor, and NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), an NO synthase inhibitor, on growth performance, organ development, and immunity in broilers. A total of 560 one-day-old mixed-gender broiler chickens (ROSS 308) were divided into one control and seven experimental groups. The experimental groups were fed a basal diet supplemented with 25, 50, 100, and 200 ppm SNP, and 25, 50, and 100 ppm L-NAME in the starter and grower diets.

Hypothetical molecular interconnection between type 2 diabetes and dyslexia.

Background: Dyslexia is one of the most common learning disabilities, especially among children. Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder that affects a large population globally, with metabolic disorders. There have been several genes that are identified as causes of Dyslexia, and in recent studies, it has been found out that some of those genes are also involved in several metabolic pathways.

The effect of music on fetal well-being and anxiety levels and vital signs of pregnant women during non-stress test: Turkey sample.

To assess the effect of music on fetal well-being and anxiety levels and vital signs of pregnant women during the non-stress test. The study was a randomized controlled clinical trial. The sample comprised of 74 (37 music and 37 control group) pregnant women.

Effects of position on non-stress test results and maternal satisfaction.

Background: The non-stress test (NST) is a simple non-invasive procedure commonly used in obstetrics clinics to assess fetal health. It is important that mothers feel comfortable during the NST and that the test results are obtained quickly.

Objectives: To determine the effects of maternal position on NST results and participants' satisfaction during the procedure.
