Plants have colonized lands 450 million years ago. This terrestrialization was facilitated by developmental and functional innovations. Recent evo-devo approaches have demonstrated that one of these innovations was the mutualistic arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis (AMS).

A total of 640 one-day-old Cobb 500 MV × Cobb 500 FF mixed broilers were randomly assigned to one of four experimental treatments with four replicates per treatment and 40 birds per replicate for 32 days. The treatments consisted of a basal diet (control group), basal diet + 0.02% zinc bacitracin (AGP group), basal diet + 0.

To evaluate the phytobiotic effect of leaf powder (AOLP) on growth performance, diarrhea incidence, blood biochemistry, and intestinal traits, seventy-two weaned piglets were randomly distributed into four groups (six replicates/group and three pigs/replicate) for 28 days, receiving a control diet (T0) or being supplemented with 5 (T1), 10 (T2), or 15 (T3) g/kg of AOLP. The diets did not affect the growth performance ( > 0.05); however, the AOLP groups had a decreased diarrhea incidence and malondialdehyde concentration ( < 0.

Article Synopsis
  • Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a frequent complication in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) that can worsen health outcomes, and this study aims to analyze the risk factors and clinical results specific to these patients.
  • A thorough literature review was conducted, comprising 12 studies with data from 2,883 patients, using systematic methods to assess quality and analyze the data for factors affecting VAP incidence.
  • Key findings indicated that male gender and severe head injuries increase VAP risk, while blood transfusions and barbiturate infusions are also significant risk factors; protective factors include younger age and prophylactic antibiotics, with patients experiencing longer ICU stays and mechanical ventilation duration if they develop VAP.
