Inclusion of yeast and saccharides based-product to replace monensin in the diet of confined steers: performance, rumen environment, metabolism, animal health, and meat quality.

The present study aimed to evaluate a blend of yeast and saccharides based-product fed via diet to feedlot cattle on performance, health, meat quality, and rumen metabolism when compared to monensin. Twenty-four non-castrated crossbred male steers (Charolais x Nellore) were divided into control (n = 12), receiving the basal diet with monensin (215 mg/animal/day) and treatment (n = 12) receiving the basal diet with the blend of yeast and saccharides based-product (17.2 g/animal/day).

Intestinal polyps and chronic schistosomiasis.

Intestinal polyps have been described in association with chronic schistosomiasis, and must be differentiated from malignant tumors and appropriately managed. This uncommon condition may be very rarely detected in people from non-endemic areas of this zoonosis, who were occasionally infected during some travel period. The lesions are more frequently described in men, and predominating in the colon.

Challenges of Congenital HHV6 Infection Diagnosis and Treatment: Two Case Reports and Literature Review.

Introduction: Congenital human herpesvirus 6 (HHV6) infection occurs in 1% of the general population and may result from the transmission of an inherited chromosomally integrated HHV6 (iciHHV6) or transplacental infection. It is mostly asymptomatic.

Case Reports: Case 1: a 29th-week-old female preterm newborn, admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit, became clinically unstable and irritable on the 20th day of hospitalization.
