The influence of therapeutic choices on antibiotic resistance of intestinal bacteria may have food safety consequences. Changes in antibiotic susceptibility of Escherichia coli to antibiotics currently approved for prevention and treatment of bovine respiratory disease were evaluated in 260 feedlot steers. Susceptibilities to antimicrobial compounds were compared among three treatment groups at three times between arrival at the feedlot and harvest to assess changes over the course of the feeding period. No significant change was found in the resistance of E. coli to tilmicosin, florfenicol, and enrofloxacin, which were used to prevent and treat respiratory disease in this study. Despite an absence of exposure to ampicillin and ceftiofur, a significant increase in resistance was observed for these two antimicrobial drugs that declined by the end of the feeding period. In this study, use of approved antimicrobials early in the feeding period for the prevention and treatment of bovine respiratory disease had little effect on antimicrobial resistance of E. coli isolated from cattle near the time of slaughter.

Introduction: The development of the human gut microbiota is shaped by factors like delivery mode, infant feeding practices, maternal diet, and environmental conditions. Diet plays a pivotal role in determining the diversity and composition of the gut microbiome, which in turn impacts immune development and overall health during this critical period. The early years, which are vital for microbial shaping, highlight a gap in understanding how the shift from milk-based diets to solid foods influences gut microbiota development in infants and young children, particularly in Yaoundé, Cameroon.

Introduction: Circadian Locomotor Output Cycles Kaput (CLOCK) is one of the transcription factors from the positive end of the molecular clock and regulates biological rhythm in mammals. Studies have shown that genetic variations in the CLOCK genes are associated with chronotype, sleep patterns, obesity, dietary energy, and nutrient consumption. Although interest in the field of chrononutrition continues to increase, investigations into the temporal aspects of dietary habits in adolescents are notably limited.

Introduction: In critically ill surgical patients treated with open abdomen and negative pressure therapy (OA/NPT), the association between nutritional support and clinical outcome is still controversial. The main objective of this study was to assess the effect of enteral nutritional support during the acute phase (i.e.

The role of oxidative stress metabolism during hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) formation potentially allows for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of oxidative stress activity for early and precise HCC detection. However, there is currently limited data available on oxidative-stress-related PET imaging for longitudinal monitoring of the pathophysiological changes during HCC formation. This work aimed to explore PET-based longitudinal monitoring of oxidative stress metabolism and determine the sensitivity of [18F]-5-fluoroaminosuberic acid ([18F]FASu) for assessing pathophysiological processes in diethylnitrosamine (DEN) induced rat HCC.

Introduction: Breast cancer is currently the most frequently detected cancer in women and the primary cause of cancer-related deaths globally. The incidence of breast cancer has significantly increased in countries across sub-Saharan Africa, counting Ethiopia. There are multiple determinants of breast cancer, a few of these can be changeable whereas others are not.
